That's awesome good for you! I'm in the USA, I had a full tuition scholarship but still had to pirate/ buy textbooks, and as a commuter had to keep up with my car and feed myself. Wasn't terribly fun doing college + 25 hours a week of work and still being broke and never having free time but I got it done without burying myself in hundreds of thousands of debt like some of my friends that just took loans out for education.
I'm very glad of the system here. Education is free, I only have to pay the student union member fee and student healthcare fee. I get left with 66€ a month from the support money after rent, living 1.5km from school. Also a tram goes straight to the city center from in front of my building when I want to go there.
Im twice your age and I also would likw nsfw disabled. How do you do it? I've gone by by staying in subscribed feed as much as possible and blocking all nsfw communities I see when I auromatically end up in all.
From the web client, go to the triple line menu in the top right, then click your username, then settings, then scroll about 2/3 down and uncheck "show NSFW content"
For mobile clients the setting location varies, but its usually somewhere near blocking and filtering settings.
As a child, school starting always sucked for me. I was always outside in the woods, or fishing, riding my bike, making forts, listening to or making music, collecting bugs, getting purposefully drenched in pop thunderstorms. The last thing I wanted was to be back in school chained to a desk.
how you type online isnt always representative of how you write in situations that require the use of formal language, such is the case for me at least
Nope, can't really afford that. We got our oldest (9) into a town service program for science that does nature hikes but is only a week and half a day. We also got him into another town thing but does cost money, but not to much. It is also only a week and half days. Outside that our youngest hasnt even had school yet but will be going this fall. My wife is a teacher so she is also home. I work from home as of the past few years now and so I am super excited when everyone goes back, including our youngest which will be the first time in years that I get to not work and be stay at home dad. I hope to finally get some work done in silence this fall lol.
All it takes is routine, I'm already half an hour into my work day before the time you state no human is ready by. When I was younger and delivered pizzas till 11pm, 730 am felt early. Now if I wake up at 10am I feel like I pissed half my day away, and I have a tough time sleeping past 7 on weekends unless I have been up all night. Time is nothing but a concept and how late or early u do things bears no significance once you make it routine!
I don't think this is entirely true for the simple fact that my routine was to wake up at 6:30 am and go to bed at 10pm everyday for school from the ages of 5 to 18. In that time there was never a morning that I didn't absolutely hate waking up that early.
Some people's biological clocks simply run later than others. For example, I now wake up at 10 am and sleep usually around 3 am, and feel fantastic.
I felt the same way when I was young, was so happy to run a later routine as I got older. Then I got to the point where my job required an earlier attendance, and now I go early voluntarily because I'd rather be up at 5am and be home before dark while still making OT than be in later and get home too late to enjoy my evening! Maybe my bio clocks changing, but it took me about 2 years to get my schedule shifted over comfortably to the point that this is my new norm. For my first couple years working 8am I was miserable. Idk maybe getting older has made me more flexible in that regard!
Not rlly tbh but I don't think there's much to do during summer break. lk yeah, i've got the internet, and outside time, and all that other nice stuff. but there are a lot of things I want to do during summer break, i.e. go on car rides, travel the U.S., etc. but unfortunately we dont hav the money for that so ig those r the only options 4me until summer break ends '(:T)/'

Without wanting to sound like some edge-of-civilisation Huckleberry Finn-type motherfucker the only thing I really hated in fall/autumn was putting on socks again and wearing a top-button collar after a feral summer.
I didn’t really mind the back to school bit ending my holidays - but wearing uniform as a kid sucked.

In grade school and high school I never wanted summer to end and dreaded going back to school.
In college, I couldn't wait to get back.

My point was that kids actually do speak like this in real life now.
On flip phones we did it to save time and button presses.
These days the way they type is often exactly what they speak.

Honestly the worst thing about school was always that it started so goddamn early. No human being is ready for the world at 7:30am. Children, less so.
