(edited) Report Oh my lord so it's not just me, like some people look at me like I'm lucky for getting to stay home and have constant free time since I only have 2-3 in person class days on average, but what is that free time worth if it's not spent doing something? I don't talk much about my day and hate small talk for that reason too, its the same 'go to class, come home, do homework, sleep' routine all the time with little variation that gives me basically nothing to talk about. This isn't me saying I necessarily wanna work all of the time either, I find that kinda thing to be exhausting and can contribute to my burnout, as I'm very susceptible to that kinda thing. However it would be nice to be able to spend that time doing something productive, but without a car I can't go out and do things. Sure, I'm getting a job but that doesn't take up much time, I wanna do things like go to the library, do hangouts and volunteer work, go sight seeing, meeting people, *something*, but I don't wanna be bored and dependent on other people for everything forever, and these plastic dog toys can only give me but so much dopamine at a time. Also I relate sm to wanting a fursuit to be able to do the trends n stuff at home but with privacy, I've wanted one for so long just to have something to do when I'm at home, my baby WILL be real someday, trust 🙏🏾 |

EXACTLY thank you!! I may not have classes but yes, I can definitely get how even if there are guaranteed things you have throughout your week, the time you have when you’re not doing them isn’t exactly fulfilling in feeling when there’s stuff you WISH you could be doing.
A lot of folks forget that people still crave social interactions, community, or even just doing their own thing but in public. The library, parks, shopping— all things that can be taken for granted if not done often enough. And yes, getting a job to give you something to do is a big pro and a con.
Need to work to get money to live and even afford those little dopamine boosts, but if we over work then we’re just in that cycle of mundane routine again, and personally leaving no energy to ENJOY the things you can finally afford then.
Ugh, apologies for my word vomit but I do get passionate with these things, especially when another can see themself in my ramblings, which I appreciate to know another relates <3
