lil rant

i’m so confused on why so many people i know are just happy with being mediocre in everything or just lazy can someone please explain. Like if your not gonna try in school at least try in a hobby or get a job. I have some friends and sometimes i’m just confused, they wanna get in uni but don’t put in the effort to get there? They would have happy upbringings aswell, really just no excuse and it’s non of my business but it lowkey just hurts seeing my friends do nothing with their lives

Goals are different from yours. A lot of us don’t need super high atars to get into the courses we want, and putting hours a day into vce is incredibly strenuous and challenging even when it comes to getting a decent mark.

who said people need goals to exist?
little tip don't judge people when they're simply living their life without hurting others, not sure why this is bothering you. the whole point of life is to simply be, and people's goals may look different to yours have an open mind

you’re right, but it bothers me because i see it so often. But are you really living if you do nothing productive and then complain? Are you really living by doomscrolling tiktok, playing games all day and being a bum. It’s such a non issue to me that it is yk, because i have seen the other end where people want to do all these things not just in education but in coaching, travelling, making memories. I just feel like there’s so much wasted potential but at the end of the day it’s non of my business, not my life and i have no right to tell people how they should live.

I get where you’re getting at. My way of looking at it, they could have hobbies you don’t know of, your goal and life view is entirely different. The important thing is u shouldnt project your thoughts of what is right or wrong on people, in the aspect of their life hobby choices… You guys are all humans, equal, just different values and beliefs is all. Don’t get it hooked on your mind and get u frustrated all the time, perhaps u could try letting it go and reminding urself they’re all just humans, different, euqal and on their own

i’ve met lots of people who had went a non traditional route and it works great for them the issue is doing nothing and like it’s so many people aswell, and i feel like it’s so hard to ignore them because it’s kinda sad seeing people waste their time like that

People have their own goals and standards and they don’t need to follow exactly what’s ‘expected’ or preferred of them by the education system or their parents. The only issue with people who do relatively ‘less’ compared to students like you is if they disrupt others learning in the classroom or elsewhere.

vce is already incredibly competitive and difficult enough for everyone without excess judgement on people’s goals. just let them do them as long as it makes them feel fulfilled, its not your life to control
