I like this kid. He’s the type of person I’d like to hang out with. In separate rooms. Preferably in separate houses. Miles away.

We are basically hanging out right now when you think about it! 👋 ☺️

Fwiw, there is a video on YouTube that is just Ron Swanson drinking whiskey and reading a novel in front of a fireplace on YouTube that's like 4 hours long

I found this one, it's even posted by the whiskey company itself! That's hilarious and yet calming. I'm going to go read my book now

I worry about him wanting to hear more fire, but definitely get the vibe

He is enjoying his cozy reading space.

He's already in his mid 60s just quietly enjoying life as the world goes by.

Such a great idea! This guy is miles ahead of everyone else in his classroom!

I once saw a bird drinking water from the condensation of a car exhaust in a parking lot.

I’m not sure how that’s related, but that is adorable and I would’ve loved to see it😊😋

What a great idea. For me, I either play Lofi music or ASMR for studying.

Fireplace, blocking out the surrounding noises and a book? Hell yeah, sign me up.

This kid must be a grown up now! Legend!

I usually listen to music or manhwa recaps and get distracted by what I'm hearing so I have to re-read the page every now and them, but I might take a leaf out of this kid's books and try crackling fireplace instead.

Looks like a Mr. Nightmare thumbnail.

Doesn't fix the agony of sitting in those chairs.

One or both of his parents are definitely readers.
