What do you think life is… :)

Even though it’s not endless, thank God.

moon,

With school, you have something to look forward to. It’s supposed to end at a certain point. Just wait until you get into the workforce.

mojofrododojo,

as Floyd said… The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older. Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Serious note: make some effort to find a career you actually enjoy so you’re not just waiting for every week to end. Basically waiting to die.

I just recently figured it out too!

Your life is killing you

Zoboomafoo,

My alternative advice is to find something you’re passionate about to do on the weekdays when you aren’t working.

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s good, but then 5/7ths of your life is wasted. Plus, you don’t really have the time and energy to fully commit to 2 days of hobbies, so you’re really only enjoying 1/7th of your miserable wasted life.

Zoboomafoo,

Sure.

And until you find that job, having something to do in the evenings is how to avoid the feeling that life is just waiting for the weekends

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Indeed. Even better is having something to live for, or even something to work for (even if the work itself sucks). And these things can take place on evenings and weekends. Then at least the toil is meaningful because it enables the real work.

CaptainSpaceman,

What if all the careers id enjoy dont pay well or have extremely high barriers to entry?

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

If they don’t pay well then that’s a different problem than the meme refers to. If there’s a high barrier to entry, compete like fucking crazy and own that shit. Any different attitude is a distraction that will sabotage your efforts.

CaptainSpaceman,

OK cool, ill go try out for the Jets next season

Are you practicing like crazy? Are you an amazing ball player with lots of experience?

CaptainSpaceman,

Are you practicing like crazy?

Yeah, 2 hours a day, every day.

Are you an amazing ball player with lots of experience?

No, im not good enough to make a varsity HS team after 10 years of practicing. But playing football is the only thing I love, its the only career id be passionate about and enjoy for more than 1 or 2 years.

What do I do coach?

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Are you convinced that you can’t do it professionally?

CaptainSpaceman,

You said all I gotta do is “make some effort”

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

But you have to pick the right path to direct that effort.

Just wait until you realize that’s all the workforce feels like too.

Old_Dude,

It’s preparing you to do the same for work.

Yeller_king,

Oh no life after school is so much worse 😂

Adulated_Aspersion,

School is an interesting way to spell life.

dudinax,

That’s why concepts for longer weeks never worked out.

BilboBargains,

School is not a good place for smart people.

CaptainSpaceman,

School is not a good place for people.

Ftfy

jaybone,

Wait until you get a job.

We need to start shoving kids down mines again. Get them acclimated to real work by the time they leave school.

@Fudoshin@feddit.uk avatar

I like you’re enthusiasm but if we nail kids to crosses then they can’t work. We need to keep the little cunts hands free to work the mines.

Pika,

I was about to chime in and say yes that’s just life but then I saw the title lmao

TxzK,

*life

RIP_Cheems,
@RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world avatar

I’m starting to feel this.

Rune_Walsh,

Teaching is the same. Everyone inside of a school is miserable.

Toneswirly,

Yeaaaah… that feeling never really goes away.
