Exactly. As much as I’m bored and unhappy at work, it pales in comparison to the prison that school was for me. And living at home with parents. Miserable.
I had way more freedom as a child because I had less responsibilities.
I work longer hours than I spent at school. I don’t get to goof around and have fun with friends during that time. I come home exhausted and have to do more work to maintain my existence. And I have to constantly worry about money. I don’t get to stay up to 2am playing StarCraft or Diablo every night, and if I even think about it my body will hate me.
Shit was easy and fun. The only benefit of adulthood is I allegedly have more money for stuff, but I can’t buy it because I need to be responsible.
I would never trade the freedom I have now to be back in school as a kid who is beholden to the wills of adults around me.

I would, but not because school was better—i was picked on regularly—but because i want to make better choices.
You and me both.
The thing about these comparisons is they are usually one-way, disregarding some of the more important aspects within the current situations.
