Nahhh I'm actually chill w school B)
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.
I want the mandatory BS parts of life to start early so I have more afternoon to myself.
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.
Lol. Happens also with office work?
I don't work in an office (not yet anyway) my dad does, so I rlly dont think working at an office has summer breaks smh :\
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.
Grade school and high school: fuck that
College: absolutely
It'll be like a vacation, working takes far more of my time and energy than studying.
You can afford not to work during the school year?!
Thankfully the university costs me a whopping ~150€ a year, and I get some money from the government while studying.
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.
wdym
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.
Used to go a week early just to spend time with friends, I need a time machine
Weeell I'm gn b in 12th 1ce summer break ends so yeah xD
I always thought lemmy was a bit older in terms of demographics of users. kids being here is weird to me considering how much 18+ stuff there is here.
Well I'm 17 and I have nsfw disabled for me, so yeah :\
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.
OK, first click on the user thing on top of the webpage, go to settings, and make sure u hav "show nsfw content" disabled. hope this helps! ;D
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.
Most 13 year olds have been on porn sites. Lemmy should be fine hehe
/b/ came out when I was 13. I frequented /b/ from 03 to 08.
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.
weeeell its the opposite 4me bcuz i actually kinda enjoy school bc u get a lot of things 2do 2keep u busy xD
If you read what I said, I wasn't not busy. There's a time for school and a time for learning outside of school in the world.
Yeah, you might want to pay a little more attention in English class.
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
I'm not sure that's the case anymore with young people lol
you must be too young to know how people typed in the flip phone era :D
As a parent, this is me waiting for the kids to go back. Does that count?
r ur kids in summer school rn?
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.
Depends on what kind of home life you have...
Rough home life?
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)/'
why not engage in some free/cheap hobbies?
huh, I actually don't remember having a specific preference
