"you start realizing how many friendships were based on proximity not purpose" and the part where you actually have to put effort into relationships or the bond fades. damn hit too close to home there
Bro forgot the Military guy
The army guy, the trade school guy and the one friend who immediately becomes a parent….
I graduated back in 2013, it sucks when your friends drift away after High school
I went to construction work after high school Pros: -I earn a lot of cash -cooworkers and some situtations are funnier than most comedy movies Cons: -my back hurts -im an alcoholic now
You forgot about the person who doesn't remember anything taught in highschool but still proceed to university 😂😂
the disappearing friend is a weird thing, i realized i was nobody's friend after highschool which also made me not bother to reach out to anyone anymore.
Took a gap year, then went to work to avoid becoming the bum. Now I'm sitting at my job thinking "do i want to do this untill i die?"
I was the decade gap guy, I had a lot of trauma from my childhood growing up that went unresolved in my 20s that I should have fixed. I was bouncing job to job to make ends meet while saying that "ill figure things out" as I didnt have the self esteem to pursue college or go to university. Im turning 30 in a month and graduated as a nurse as I got my shit back together and haven't felt this source of accomplishment since graduating high school Now turning 30 no longer feels like a deadline it feels like a fresh chapter. I’m not the same person I was a decade ago. I’ve faced my past, rebuilt my mindset, and finally gave myself permission to grow. Graduating as a nurse has reminded me that it's never too late to change your life, and this is just the beginning of the version of me I've always wanted to become.
I'm 27 and feel like ive been all of these guys after high school. The time flies. Make connections. Try things. I didn't. I really just got my shit together 6 months ago and things have been getting better and better but i absolutely mourn a life not lived. It sticks with you. Don't let yourself get too comfortable when you're young.
That awkward feeling when suicide after grad didnt work out so now youre just rawdogging life, gritting your teeth and making traditionally responsible decisions until its over
Being a bum is something I’m scared of turning rn Ngl, 😂😂😂😂
A lot of this is true. I am 39 years old, still living with my parents. I have lived with them for the past 7 years now. I have moved out and had multiple places on my own. But times got hard. I have an almost 3 year old daughter. Living with them has allowed me to save almost $75000. My truck will be paid off in about 3-4 months. I plan on using that money to buy my first house. I don't know why people think you have to be alone and have your own things by the time you are 21. Other countries don't act like this. My family bond has helped be get to this level. I am very grateful for that.
The gap year to unemployed to gap decade pipeline is real and it’s SLIPPERY
"Don't let comfort become your cage" Bars! You got a subscriber brudda!
paying 40000 to cry in a communal bathroom is just actually college
Man this made me realise somethin, i am far from finishing school, but man i rlly gotta get moving cos if i aint moving by now i wont get where i wanna be by when i want, but that implies i have a plan which i dont
I was on the bum path until I was about 21. Found a stable retail job and have just saved for the last 5 years. A lot of things in my life I’m unhappy about but it could always be worse. If you don’t know what to do after school just do something. Anything. Don’t get stuck in infinite potential. I had a lot of potential but was held back by fear and low self esteem, shit really holds you back in life.
5:30 "You start to realize how many friendships were based on proximity, not purpose" As someone who has lost many friends to what I first couldn't understand, this hits way harder than it should have
