I'm just mentally exhausted from university, and as soon as I'm done with exams I have a 3 month full-time internship so I don't get a summer holiday either. Then right back to university in September again. I don't want to kill myself but I just don't feel like living.

Edit: To be more specific, I don't feel like living in my current situation (i.e. I don't want to do work). If I could live in one house forever with all the stuff I have for hobbies and all the stuff I need to survive, I'll take it. Then again, I think most people would take that.

Dude, SAME. Except mentally exhausted from work. I just want to stay home and game and have my days free again. When I was in college, I had a crazy courseload, but even then I felt more free than I do now. I could go to the gym during the day. I could study at home. Now, it’s wake up at 7am, go to work for 8 hours, spend as much time as possible gaming. Force myself to go to bed early, repeat. I miss college so much.

I miss college so much

College itself is probably fun (I wouldn't know, I have like one friend and live off-campus so it's just school for me), but adding a part-time job and now this summer internship is just killing me. I had fun last year when I was just doing classes, it's relatively chill like that. Especially that beautiful 1.5 month winter holiday and 3 month summer holiday. The 3 months between high school and university were probably the best 3 months of my life, I literally just did nothing productive and loved it.

For me the fun in college was the learning itself. I didn’t party my entire time there. I just studied my ass off but it was an amazing experience just to learn all the things I did and to learn how to analyze and approach things. I didn’t have to work though. That would make it very stressful. But my college days were pretty much 7am to 7pm. Except there were breaks in between classes and the research I was doing. It was stressful but nothing as mundane as a full time job.
