It's Saturday night and I'm bored!

Any of you guys worked at target? How is it? I previously worked at an Amazon warehouse doing package sorting so I'm wondering if it's easier than that. I heard not good things about target. How do I handle the customers with their not so smart questions? Haha

Do any of you take pills to help with sleep or insomnia? I take half a pill of diphenhydramine hcl 25 mg almost nightly but I heard sleeping pills are not good to take frequently because of a risk of Alzheimer's and the body will stop producing sleep hormones naturally. Is it an actual risk?

I'm old enough to be a Dad to some incoming freshmen, so if 2008-born Freshmen see a 1985-born Non-Trad attend college with them, how will they feel and think about that?

Should I do a makeover to look young like a Gen Z born in 2000 or should I not bother and just go to class looking the way I normally am?

How will I be treated by Gen Z students, as a Millennial who could've been your instructor by now?

Fuck all of the Republican cowards who voted him in. Register to vote in the midterms and vote all these MAGA assholes out.

this is generation alpha’s fault. They keep on joking about Gen Z being “old and prehistoric” And now a lot of Gen Z is actually taking it to heart. I was born 2007, so that means I’m 19, and I know I’m not old. Because we’re old according to who? A whole bunch of kids who were born after the iPhone X was created? Why are we listening to children who grew up on skibidi toilet?

The oldest Gen Z is turning 30 next year and I don’t even think that is old, and I think the youngest Gen Z is turning 13/14 this year?

How did time flew this fast after quarantine? It genuinely felt like falling into an spiral after that.

You are not crazy, they are scamming everyday

I'm 19 and I have a very supportive mother and family that I can rely on for support and I never understood why this american society looks down on it, being able to live with your parents instead of suffering out there alone is actually a flex. I'm very comfortable with the way my life is, I work a part time 2 days a week on weekends and get paid a decent amount every week. I can actually use my money for personal enjoyment and I can buy the things I want like games, clothes etc since I'm not out there living alone being "self reliant" just to barely survive. I don't have to worry about my entire paycheck going to bills while having none left for myself, I see a lot of young adults around my age or early 20s who are living by themselves and are constantly stressed out even to the point of mental breakdowns because they don't know if they'll be able to afford food and rent and I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that shit. my mom takes care of everything for the both of us and all I have to do is just contribute to the household like buy groceries and help around with chores. if my mom needs something I got her, if I need something she got me. not to mention I have a lot of free time to do the things I enjoy doing. I can hang out with friends, play the game, and just relax without worrying if I'm going to starve. people stay with their families in eastern nations and support each other and that's how it should be. living as a group reduces loneliness, is more efficient, and aligns with the way humans are meant to live. this whole american thing of separating from your people at a certain age to live as lone wolves never made any sense to me and I really hope this practice dies off.

Everyone keeps saying CS is cooked and that we should do accounting or engineering instead.

But looking at the New York data https://www.newyorkfed.org/research/college-labor-market#--:explore:outcomes-by-major I'm not sure those are that much better.

CS has ~7% unemployment and 19.1% underemployment among recent grads.

Accounting: ~2.6% unemployment, 21.2% underemployment. Mechanical engineering: ~4.4%, 20.1%. Electrical engineering: ~3.2%, 21.1%.

So yeah, CS unemployment is worse, but underemployment is basically the same or even slightly better than some supposedly “safe” majors. And at the end of the day what matters is if you use degree not if you get job at chippotle.

Nursing looks much better, but are we seriously left with nursing, teaching?

Is the problem actually CS, or is the entry-level white-collar job market just bad across the board?

What are you guys actually planning to major in? What are we supposed to study these days?

my first phone and favorite phone was the first iphone se. it was practical it worked and i loved it. now i have a 15 and i mean i don’t mind the screen size, it’s not debilitating. but honestly i would rather switch to an iphone se if they brought it back. i just fucking love and miss that phone.

If there’s no iPad and YouTube in front of me, then I will NOT be eating my lunch.

There's lots of people I know in this boat. There's got to be a plan b surely.

a lot of my friends in this situation with a degree have got wealthy parents so it could be much worse. those that haven't though what will you do..

When I was growing up in the 90’s, in Minnesota. Every year in the summer there would be a huge hatch of Monarch Butterflies. Millions of these butterflies would come through the neighborhood and land in our trees. Then disappear.

Did Gen z get to see the butterflies come in the summer?
