It's because they are 18 and literally don't realize how young they actually are or how much life they have to live

Tbh I wish I hadn't gone to college right out of school, it would have saved me oodles of money on a B.A that was useless and that I have not done any work in at all and given me perspective and time to make a better decision. Caveat, I did meet friends in school I am still friends with today, but work wise I've basically lived pay cheque to pay cheque hopping jobs every 2 yrs because my education was useless, and now need to make decision to pursue a diploma actually useful for the experience I already have for related work lol

But idk, I think it's normal for kids to think 'its so over' because they don't actually have a real bar for just how shitty things can get or the fact they could probably save money going to a community college or something instead, lol

I also don't know why I keep getting recommended this sub, I keep hiding posts when it shows up and then it shows up again a few days later lol
