Why do people after working say they miss their student life?

I really miss my student days because the worries and pressures back then were not as much as they were after working.

My junior classmates who I don’t usually keep in touch with suddenly asked me about my graduation thesis on WeChat in the past two days.

Looking through their campus life circle of friends, I remembered that at this time two years ago, I was preparing for the same things, including thesis defense, signing of work agreements, packing graduates’ luggage, and getting diplomas. Then I left school reluctantly...

Time flies so fast that I can’t even remember that I was a student. Running around the city every day, there is never enough work to be done, but I am very happy to see that the things in the house were bought by me bit by bit. My student days seem far away from me, even though I have only graduated two years ago.

Now I have financial income from work, but I don’t have free time, and I bear more and more pressure and responsibilities. Sometimes, I also miss my student life.

What I miss is my free self.

You can work part-time to earn some money and then leave as soon as you want. You can take photos everywhere with your camera after class. You can eat delicious food in the cafeteria for less than 10 yuan (I still miss the clay pot on the second floor of the cafeteria). Zaifan)...

I miss those days of going to the library and studying quietly. Gone are the days. At that time, I could spend a whole day studying questions for the IELTS exam, or I could stay up all night doing PPT for a competition. No matter it's windy or rainy, it can't stop my heart to move forward...

Of course, I am also a person who skipped classes.

What I miss is that best friend from my student days.

At this time two years ago, I was in the Tianjin FIU teaching building talking with Niuniu about each other’s plans after graduation. I particularly remember that day. She bought me breakfast in the morning, and then we split up. After she was busy with many things at school in the afternoon, we finally had time to chat.

I asked Niuniu: "What do you want to do after graduation?"

She said: "Go to work in another city, and then apply for a top-ranked university in the United States while working. Maybe I’ll travel around. I just want to do what I want to do while I’m young.”

“Actually, I’m debating whether to stay in Beijing, but I turned down several offers from Beijing. I want to go on those adventurous trips before graduation, but I don’t want to go back to my hometown. I’ll work first, then start a business, and do what I want to do bit by bit.”

This is the only personal plan I discussed with my friends before graduation.

Later, we went our separate ways.

There was no time to be sad or emotional, and I just struggled in this cruel society for two years.

Niuniu works in one of the world's top hotels and has also applied to study as a graduate student at Cornell University in the United States. In addition to working out, she also takes on some part-time translation jobs in her spare time.

Friendship in college is mostly based on similar views and similar goals. Most of the friendships after work are based on benefits. Without benefits, no one would have any contact. In the two years after graduation, we have experienced too much, and we have learned to cherish the true friends around us.
