    Mostly same. I was horribly depressed and anxious throughout school and had no friends…so I definitely wasn’t seeing my friends every day. And when you get home you always had even more work to do.

    Now, I get paid well, I love chatting with my coworkers every day, and I tend to enjoy what I do, even if it’s monotonous or stresssful at times. And with my job, it’s physically impossible to take work home with you.

    I do miss having a gajillion days off like when I was a kid and I miss my mom making dinner for me and cleaning up after me lol. But for the most part, I don’t think I’d want to go back. I did well in school and wasn’t bullied or anything, but those times were still really rough mentally.
