I Was Busy Studying My Ass Off And Crashing After - Tumblr Posts

This is so real right now.

My birthday was last month, and I had a lot of exams around it, so I spent it going onto campus, studying. The next day, one of my professors was asking what I’d done for my birthday the night before and I answered that I’d studied and gone to bed early. He looked horrified on my behalf, even after I explained that my priority was my exams and I’d turned down my dad’s offer to go out because of them.

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but

Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?

Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.
