    The free ride is over

    Well, just got home from school. Last day of my last year. Even though I never really enjoyed school and dredded getting up in the morning, I'm still going to miss it. I'm left now feeling confused. I'm not likely going to see most people again (excluding prizegiving tomorrow) as I never do see them outside of school, which is depressing. I'm sad even though it's good to get out of there and do something more worthwhile. Can't help feeling though that I haven't really enjoyed life so far, what's going to be any different for the rest of it? My parents hate their jobs, most people I know do, can't help think I'm gonna end up like that. This all sucks

    Don't really know why I felt compelled to make a thread on it. Part of my confusion I guess

    Welcome to the real world!

    You've identified the issues.

    That's step one.

    Now fix them!

    Only you can do that.

    PS I hate my job.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Get yourself laid. And report back.
    Your situation is not an ending - but a beginning.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Sounds bleak mate. You sure you aren't trolling?

    Plenty of fun to be had out there... take your bike out for a spin and things will lighten up!

    Stay in touch with the schoolmates who's company you like. It's not that hard. Find a job that you like, or at least one that won't drain you and take up all your time if you don't like it.

    Life is hard. Make the best out of what you have..... Try and look ahead, the decisions you make from now on could very well impact you in years to come. Trust me, I was lucky I made some of the decisions I did when I was your age but I am also suffering because of some of them as well!

    Take a notebook to your prizegiving and get peoples contact details.

    I didn't like school much at all, but finishing 7th form was still a bit said. You kinda take for granted seeing all these people most days.

    Things like facebook have actually been quite handy getting back in touch with people, but still looking for some others!

    yeah dude, if you can afford to bum around for a bit longer go to uni. if not get a job.

    work is like school, but you get paid for it (doesnt make it any better than school tho) and usally you get drinks on fridays.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    I thought that went "Life's a bitch... and then you marry one!"

    Don't listen to the pessimistic fellas. Life is great, should you dare choose to enjoy it

    Well I luuurrrve my job! It feels like playing and I can't believe I get paid so well to do it. It only took me 20 years to find . . .

    Two things for you, young 'un. Firstly, you can't out do your own self image. (Think about it! Change the way you think about yourself and the world is your oyster). Secondly, behave your way to success has a lot going for it.

    Sit around being gloomy and people will think - "that person is a sad bastard, I'll go talk to that cheery fella over there instead".

    Another useful thing sometimes is to allow yourself a good coupla days to have a complete wallow and pity party. Chances are, you'll get bored and look for something else to do.
    Illuc ivi, illud feci.

    Well I love my job, I've loved being in NZ for over 30 years and would swap very little of it, it's been a blast. I'm semi-retiring next year to do the things which I haven't done enough whilst working 60 hour weeks and I'm looking forward to that too!

    I can understand your mixed emotions, I went through that too on leaving school. You are now entering a world where you are largely unprotected and the only way you'll make it is through your own efforts and the occasional slice of luck. Being super bright has relatively little to do with success, a really good attitude counts for almost everything.

    Get out there, have a ball and enjoy life. Best of luck, it's down to you

    Geoff
