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!

Life advice:
a) if you eat stupid food you get tired and ill. Avoid gluten and corn syrup and acquire paleo + protein.
b) you get tired doing exercise you don’t want to do. Folks doing work they enjoy can do it all day long.
Seperate yourself from materials and you will find meaning
Life is what you make of it. There’s no meaning, no purpose. You have to make your own. That takes effort, but it can be rewarding.

It’s like an open sandbox RPG. But you’re forced to play it.
I’ve always said the meaning of life is a blank page. You get to fill out out. But that’s both freeing and terrifying at the same time.
Except it’s not really you /get/ to fill it out. It’s more like you have to start filling it or you will die. If you ever let your pen stall for too long, you will become homeless, and you will starve. I’m just so tired and my page is still so blank.
I might get downvoted for this, and fair enough, but you should try shrooms.
I’ve got severe depression and social anxiety, so I’m familiar with the whole “what’s the point of this?” mindset. Shrooms kind of gave me a different perspective on life, and why it’s so precious and worth experiencing.
And while it’s anecdotal, I know many people that’ve had similar experiences. Either way, I hope things get better for you!
lmao, you’re still young, don’t worry it will definitely get worse or better depends on your luck
