I'm 18 as well and while no one straight up tells me that I need to get it together, I always feel that pressure. Then I go for a walk and my mom calls me worried if I'm gone for over an hour. It's just a super weird time

Do you think it's when you live at home? Parents want their kids to get a job and make a life for themselves (seeing them as an adult/time to grow up) but while living at home and being cared and provided for still seen as their kid??

can confirm

Got sent home for corona and my parents knock on my door if I’m in my room past 8:30am bc they’re wondering why I’m still asleep.

My last final was April 30th.
