Sure, sometimes I miss doing drugs in college.

Mostly I miss the relative stability of society during those times, when the biggest news story of the cycle was that Obama wore a tan suit and liked Dijon mustard.

At the time we were reeling from Bush and the Iraq War situation but those feel like small potatoes now these days, even if they weren’t then.

i dont know i would call it chaos… but i miss the lack of responsibility

There are definitely times I wish I could go back to being a kid again, but only in the summer breaks because I didn’t have many responsibilities. That, or highschool summer breaks because I spent plenty of time over skype (ewww) with my best friend who I haven’t talked to since graduation. Though, I would absolutely miss my current life.

Also, kid/teenage me would be absolutely jealous of current me for some of my stuff, like my steam deck and other consoles I own, alongside various things like how they’d probably assume I have the whole “adulting” thing down by now and how I’m fairly decent at cooking.

I miss getting drunk with my friends.

Constantly. It seems like a lot of work now though

I often think I miss it, but nostalgia sort of glosses over the anxiety and other stuff I was probably dealing with and just don’t remember. Like “yeah, college! partying!” but… I had plenty of stress then too. I’m probably better at dealing with it now.
