    You had someone to take care of you 24/7, always there for you. Cleaning, cooking, buying shit, etc. your parents were managing the household so you could learn.

    Look at children that didn’t have such support - they would perform much worse, usually.

    Ever went on a business trip or conference and stayed in a hotel? You will be surprised how much you get done in one day. Except the hotel can’t provide you with love :’)

      I took this to mean University/College. I ask myself the same thing constantly now that I’m working full time. I don’t know how I dedicated the constant hours to schooling and a part time job for so many years. Maybe it’s just the opportunity for variety.

        We have more energy the younger we are, usually. Some people might alleviate severe health issues later in life and seem to gain energy though.

        And likely you could so college again, you just did it already and know what its worth, and more importantly know what it would be worth to do it all again.

        Some people leave college behind, some come back multiple times.
