As a person who's not a young adult anymore I'm not sure how or if it ever was. My young adulthood was full of angst, rumination, poverty, debt, etc. Looking back there were definitely good things that I miss, but I'm in such a massively better financial and mental place these days that I can't imagine going back.

Don't forget five to seven hours of homework a night.

Why are you doing 7 hours of homework as an adult?

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 1 points 3 months ago

College. But fine to seven hours every night is absolutely an exaggeration.
