Yeah, that’s true. We young adults struggle way more than our parents did. Some older people think it’s easy to get a job, but it’s actually really difficult now. The competition has increased so much compared to their time. Back then, scoring 80 marks was considered a big achievement, but now even 95+ doesn’t feel like enough.
Honestly, it kind of sucks to be living in this era. There’s so much confusion about life and careers, and there’s no one clear person we can really consult. It’s just… awful sometimes.
Mhm… I started drinking black coffee around late 2023. Before that, I used to drink a lot of lattes. But yeah, it’s totally fine if you don’t like it. Some people find it too bitter (especially dark-roasted beans), and some actually enjoy it, so don’t force yourself haha....
Yeah, both are good. One is about a guy who loved reading a light novel, and one day the reality around him starts changing as the LN story becomes real. The other one has a female MC who gets transported into a game world she was playing.
I think the movie you’re talking about is The Haunting (1999). It’s about a doctor who invites a group of insomniacs to an eerie mansion for what they believe is a sleep disorder study. I should probably add it to my list too haha....
Ugh… my social connections have been kind of a failure for the past 3 years or so. The friends I had in school slowly stopped talking to me in 10th grade for some immature reason (I had already noticed a change in their behavior since late 9th). Later, they started talking again, but I never felt the same connection.
After covid, I made two friends through games we played a lot and shared our lives, but in both cases, they suddenly removed me from the game and social media without any reason. Later I got into fight with 2 old friends....So nowadays, I don’t really expect much from people. They just come and go, haha...
And yeah, life feels easier when someone truly understands you for who you are. But when people leave even after knowing you, it hurts like crazy. Still… I think I’m over it now.
Yep, you’re right but our life isn’t that bad there are people out there living much harder lives than ours. I also used to think that way. But I don’t think that way as much anymore, though those thoughts still come back sometimes. I guess we should be grateful for the life we have. I know I sound a bit two-faced here, but hey, we’re human
And same, I love watching cat videos too…
I mostly drink black coffee without sugar, but sometimes I go for milk coffee as well. I also really like butterscotch-flavoured coffee. What about you, do you drink coffee?
Those kinds of stories are really interesting. A big example would be ORV and Beatrix (even though both are manhwas)
When it comes to movies, I like horror, psychological, mystery, and thriller the most… Dead Silence, Lights Out, The Grudge, A Quiet Place, etc. I also liked the HP universe and the Marvel universe
Exactly, other people don’t really understand this invisible glass cage. They always want a reason why I don’t feel like hanging out, but not everything needs a reason. One-on-one bonds are much easier than groups anyway. These days, it feels like most people just want hookups and don’t really want emotional connections.
So now I’ve stopped explaining myself. If someone wants to stay in my life, they’re welcome. If they don’t, they’re free to leave.
Yeah, that’s all we can really do for now haha.... reducing screen time is honestly very difficult. We consume so much dopamine, anime and devices give instant gratification, and because of that it’s hard to focus on other things. We’re kind of dopamine addicts lol. Coffee is the only thing that keeps me calm....
I watch almost every genre except mecha, sci-fi, space, and horror (even though I like horror movies).... my favorite genres are romance, slice of life, comedy and isekai. wbu? Do you watch movies as well?
Being alone is my safe space. I don’t have many irl friends, but I do go out with schoolmates sometimes when they call. I’m just not very close to any of them... Idk why but I feel out of place in groups...
You’re asking the wrong guy... I honestly don’t have much motivation to study these days either. Sometimes it just feels like a burden. I can’t focus properly end up watching youtube Shorts or playing valorant.... basically, I do everything except study
The only reason I studied these past two months was because I had backlogs in every subject and was worried about clearing them.....
That said, I’d really suggest starting meditationeven just 10 minutes a day, without your phone or any devices nearby and maybe a little exercise too. I’m planning to start doing this myself to improve my focus and memory, so I thought I’d suggest the same to you
Fire force is actually a really good. A lot of people drop it because of the small ecchi element (which isn’t even the main anime tag), but the story is solid. The last season ended at a very interesting point you should give it a try.
I spent my evening cooking and watching TV.... I’m not very outgoing, I usually keep to myself. What about you?
These days it’s almost impossible to go a full day without some screen or social media even when you try.
Yesss, finally free… at least temporarily haha. You’re right though, revisions shouldn’t be that bad since I’ve already seen the syllabus once.... fingers crossed
I'm looking forward to bleach, hell paradise ,ofc fire force and rezero.
Haha that’s actually so relatable, it really does feel like one day english just clicked. For me, our school used to show disney movies when we were in junior classes, and later we even watched Harry Potter in class (we had smart boards for teaching). My school was english-medium, so speaking english was kinda necessary sometimes. I didn’t really watch youtube or anything until around 10th grade, my parents were pretty strict about devices back then, so yeah… limited exposure
Oof, "hello frugal life” genuinely made me laugh.
Today was actually my last exam, though I might have to do 2 retakes next semester. Still, I guess winter break starts now for me too.
Shaman King being your first anime with polish dubbing is honestly so cool. Mine was Naruto, it really helped me bounce back during corona when I was in a pretty low phase haha
And yeah, about discord, I’ve just started using it again myself. We can totally keep chatting wherever it’s easiest for you.
I’m officially starting my january binge stsrike now... gonna catch up on everything I missed in the last two months and all the new January releases
Nah, I’m not a native english speaker... I learned it mostly through school, media, and just… existing online a lot lol.
And you’re so right english is weird enough that even natives keep discovering new words, especially with law and technical stuff
Legal English feels like a whole different language sometimes...sigh
yeah job hunting is unnecessarily hard.... it feel harder than the actual job arghhhhhhh
Shaman King rabbit hole never heard of it.... mhmmmmm
As for exams… they’re going okay-ish
some papers were fine, others I barely survived....
Oh btw, are you on discord? I recently started using it
Everything’s in english only, no other language or anything
Haha..... full-time clown is wild but honestly that sounds kinda fun
Getting paid to talk to people and be social?? That’s lowkey a skill (I'm a sensitive introvert here), taking pictures with strangers would’ve given me anxiety ngl
Still... if a pretty girl (like you) asked me for a picture, I definitely wouldn’t complain, hahahaha
My job hunting… yeah let’s not talk about that before I cry (╥﹏╥)
thank you in advance for the summary, you’re an actual lifesaver for that (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Tomorrow is my first exam… so I’m mentally preparing for war (ง'̀-'́)ง
Hahaha trust me, law feels complicated for me too sometimes. Most of it is just revising the same thing again and again until it finally clicks. commerce is chill, but this CS course really keeps me on my toes, the language is tough to understand sometimes...
Your friday-off plan sounds perfect, honestly ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
your job title is hilarious in the best way “promotion coordinator” sounds so professional, meanwhile you’re out there handing out flyers with full main–character energy
At least they pay well, that’s what matters. Finding a part-time job here feels like winning the lottery, so I’m low-key jealous ngl hgahahah (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)
I barely remember the details or the characters from the first two seasons. It’s been almost 2 years since I watched it, so nothing was clicking when I tried the first episode of S3. I think I’ll just watch a recap for both seasons… unless someone is kind enough to give me a quick summary hahaha ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
HAHAHA… all 11 subjects aren’t from my uni
My major in uni is Commerce, so I have 7 subjects there and I’m also doing a professional course- Company Secretary (include majors like accounts, corporate law and tax) so 4 subjects from it. Both exam schedules overlapped this time, so I’m basically dying inside (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Also, seriously you’re so cool for juggling all that. Volunteering, working, studying, AND making mini party games?? That’s actually impressive. You really went through a hardcore two weeks, so you definitely deserve a peaceful break ❤︎
I'm also trying to get a part-time job but no luck my side hahaha...
As for after my exams…
I’ve got a small list ready for myself
I wanna catch up on gachiakuta, to your eternity, and a few new anime this season. And January is stacked with new seasons of Hell’s Paradise, JJK, Oshi no Ko, Fire Force, and some new releases too. So I’ll be happily binging for a while ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
Yeahh, it’s kinda rough right now but I’m surviving somehow. I have around 11 exams this month, so it’s fully packed… sigh (╥﹏╥)
But it looks like you’re having a rough time yourself too (extra stuff on your plate though?) What kind of things were keeping you occupied (only if you’re comfortable sharing)
Lucky you, I’m surviving on caffeine and panic at this point though (╥﹏╥)
Some uni here don’t have mid-term exams. They only have internal assessments (IA) instead.
Since my uni has 2 semesters a year, each semester has its own IA instead of a mid-term.
