Dumb take.

I'm in my 30s and working an office job is way less stressful overall than school was. When I'm done with work, I can go home and stop thinking about it.

With school, you can never study "enough", so its always creeping in the back of your subconscious. And good grades alone don't cut it - you've also got to participate in extracurriculars and turn yourself into a trained monkey to write an "interesting enough" college essay. Oh and if you screw any of this up, your entire adult life could be ruined.

Diligent students have it way harder than office workers. Kids need our support and sympathy.

I still have nightmares of getting to my locker in time and making it to class.

>20 years on and doing my a-levels still crops up in nightmares

[-] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I still have nightmares where I've somehow just forgotten a big assignment or presentation, or sometimes that I even had a class in a given time slot.

making it back to my locker was stressful enough that I just gave up on it altogether and carried everything around all day

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My combination lock was finicky and attached to the locker. Every day was stress.

[-] KreekyBonez@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I locked mine freshman year and never came back. no idea if it had anything in it.

I'm so glad extracurriculars aren't really a thing that anybody cares about in my country nor are college essays. School and being a teenager was stressful enough as it was.

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I liked school for hanging up with friends or relatives... But actually going back to school full nostalgia? No fucking way.

Your brain was also changing more than from when you were a baby to a toddler during that time. Never mind the rest.
