Comment on The golden years
YarrMatey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year agoI had to take the bus and it left at 7:30am so I was waking up around 6ish everyday. I was constantly tired and had trouble staying awake in school. Taking the bus back put me at arriving at 4pm home. It was awful tbh. I see grade school years, especially high school, as the worst years of my life followed closely by early adulthood in college.
7AM would be awesome for me. My city bus to the station leaves at 5:30AM. At 7AM the first class starts.
Oh, yeah, last year I was taking train to save money (trains are free for students in Slovakia up to the age of 25 incl.), that left the station at 5AM. No city buses that early, but it’s only 20-25 minutes by foot.
Since I have to walk my dog in the morning, my wake up time is 3:30AM. Awesome.
Godamn that reminds me of college, I had a class at 7-8ish in the morning but the only bus that could get me there in time left around 5am so I was waking up at 4am to get ready. I would just find a bench to go to sleep until my class started at that point. I had classes throughout the day with hours in between each one so I would stay most of the day at college, spending a lot of time sleeping and trying to study / do homework. The bus is not free for students here. No trains here either. I am not able-bodied so I can’t just walk but it’s a 40 minute drive from where I lived to college with a long highway so I don’t think people are walking that anyway.
I can definetly sympathize with you, it sounds very rough. Just gotta hang in there!

such a classic, and when you perform badly in school due to being chronically tired they just repeat that sleep is important, as if they’re not the fucking reason you can’t get enough sleep.
