Hehe, nah I'm not depressed - was just kiddin' about a little bit. Although I've got to admit that time passes quickly.

Still going to school. The plan is to get as many highers as possible and head to university and study arhchitecture which should take about 6-7 years... That's the master plan.

Got back home recently, had fun with some friends bowling and then eating afterwards to payback for the lost energy!

Don't waste your years studying.

lmao great advice!! enjoy life! hey let's rob a bank and spend all our life playing LFS and travelling around the world

For me mid to late 20s is (was) a great age to be. Late teens/early 20s can be exhilarating and tons of fun, but there's still so much to learn about yourself and other people, and some of that can actually be pretty painful to deal with.. there's love (girlfriends), and moving away from the safe cocoon of family and discovering new places/ideas, and finding yourself- if you're not ready for it some things can just come up and hit you like a ton of bricks, at least that was my experience. Early 20's can be rough.

Late 20's, early 30s (I'm 32 now) seems to be an altogether smoother ride, which I'm grateful for. I still don't have kids of my own so I'm probably starting to fall a little behind the average curve of experience here, but that's ok. I'm also back at school which is probably making me feel a little younger than I actually should. Not going to complain though.

And what do instead? Go get a crappy job?

Do an apprenticeship.. that's the clever thing to do, especially with todays rather poor outlook.

You can have all the degrees and diplomas in the world, but if you're a big knob (not saying you are) then you'll have no better chance of getting the job than someone who is less qualified, but is a nicer person who's willing to learn.

Well, I'll go for uni.

a good uni can get you internship opportunities you can't find on your own though, real quality opportunities to do real works insteads of being used as a cheap stand in. and you may meet some professors which would later become your mentor.

I've seldom heard cases of architects making it without going through uni, it's way too specialized to do it nowadays, there's too much to learn on your own.

No.
Spend your time with friends, family.
Go have fun.
Do something stupid, challenging, scarey.
Do something you never thought youd do.

I'm 18 this year, can't believe I have a gf considering how much i'm on LFS

I have more miles than some people who have been playing for 3 years but that's just because if i'm not going out for some reason i'm on LFS or something

17 is a cool age anyway, but this year I get to buy DRIIIIIINK haha, that's when I can haz some reaaaal fun

Yeah the only way to have fun is to get drunk. Good point.

Enjoy you're boring life.
because once you have a full time job / living on your own with bills to pay etc

you wont be able to

Hmm, Well, just get a GF, then a job (which I need) save money, then one day when you got loads of money go on a shopping spree.

anyway getting drunk is fun, most the times.

Maybe apprenticeships differ, but here at least, you actually learn things. You are paid little because it's often the company pays for any college courses that you go on (normally one or two days a week), including transport and any trips.

So turnin' 17 today Such a depressing time, isn't it people!?

Felt like creating another purposeless thread with my terrible life experiences.

no its not, get your license and have a life...

Jesus, 17. Yeah, whatever. I'm 30 next year. What I wouldn't give to go back and be 17 again.
