Currently I am a uni student, working 4 days a week during the summer, moving to about 3 during term time.

Every day I'm not working I feel tired constantly, regardless of amount of sleep. I push through anyways to get the work that needs done finished, then sit down and just collapse basically. I wouldn't even call it relax, just sit and switch off.

I don't have any energy or motivation to play games anymore, even though I used to play avidly. I play guitar but it's been feeling like I'm not getting as much out of it now....

Once I'm out of uni, I'll be in full-time and, if I get into the industry I want, more mentally taxing work.

In short, is there something I'm missing here, or is work-eat-sleep-repeat all there is until I retire? Cause frankly I'm more sure I can be arsed if not...

EDIT

Thanks for the responses, I kinda posted this in a moment of hopelessness for life and I don't really know what I wanted as a response.

Asking for the meaning of life? Lemmy's great and all, but I don't think I'll find it here lmao

Regardless, there's a few things here for me to look into and take further, so thank you again!

Yeah pretty much mate, welcome to adulthood.

If you make enough money you can have hobbies on the side or occationally take breaks from the routine and do something fun.

    Assuming one gets the chance to retire. The trajectory things are currently on, I'm not counting on it.

    I'm definitly not counting on it. Couldn't even afford a prope retirement plan as they are advertised and recommeded.

    My retirement plan is probably picking up extreme sports when I'm really old ... let the odds do the work.
