"I think most New Year’s Eve celebrations are overrated."
"Let’s talk about the overhyped masterpiece known as “Networking Events.” We all dress up, slap on fake smiles, and exchange business cards like we’re in some capitalist Pokémon battle. But in reality, it’s just a room full of people pretending to be interested in each other’s elevator pitches while silently contemplating their life choices.
It’s the only place where small talk becomes an extreme sport, and the only gold you’ll find is the regret of spending hours in uncomfortable shoes. Networking events – the Hollywood blockbuster of disappointments"
"Prom- was not a good night dancing. It was beyond awkward."
"Man prom was such a letdown for me. I spent way too much money on my dress only to have a mediocre time"
"Growing up"
"Growing up ! = Growing old"
"Weddings"
"Teenage years, especially the “sweet sixteen”"
"One of the life lessons I’ve had to learn the hard way is that people peaked in high school/peaked in teen years types are the worst people to be around. They’re miserable, self-loathing people who will drag you down with them if you give them the chance.
Even my own brother, I’ve unfortunately had to hangout with a lot less over our adult years because he’s a peaked in high school that’s just a grump now. And we’re still in our 20’s, imagine how he’ll be in his 30’s or 40’s."
"Weird. High school was hell for me and college was a blast"
"Same goes for college. You think things will magically change for you, but a lot of times it’s just an extension of high school."
"I have fonder memories of my time playing Halo than my first kisses "
"A good kill streak probably gives more satisfaction"
"Losing your virginity"
"Attending music festivals. Don’t get me wrong, the lineup is stellar, but the reality is an overpriced adventure in crowd navigation, questionable hygiene, and battling for a glimpse of the stage through a sea of smartphones. It’s like paying to participate in a human Tetris game with a killer soundtrack"
"As a huge football fan, it blows my mind how many people watch the Super Bowl. Like, the commercials and halftime show are not nearly enough to make it worth the watch for non-fans. Football is a long, slow game with lots of breaks and there’s no way I’d watch a 3.5 hour game just for the 10 min concert and mostly bad commercials."
"I might be flamed saying this, but gender reveal parties.
I kinda don’t like the appeal of this party it’s like counting chicks when the eggs haven’t been hatched yet"
"I don’t get the point when you’re supposed to be happy either way"
"Clubs. Music is loud, so talking or any meaningful socializing is out of the question, all you can do is bob up and down and sip overpriced drinks and there’s this heavy expectation that you should be having fun. There are some exceptions, like genre-specific clubs, but most mainstream clubs are just loud and disgusting, drenched in spilled drinks and bodily fluids."
"Fireworks. They don’t do a thing for me. Whizz, bang, fizz, boom – don’t give a sh#t."
"You need to film them on your phone and never ever watch them. That really tops off the experience"
"Threesomes as a dude. If you’re doing it right, you’re so focused on pleasing the 2 women that you don’t get to really enjoy the physical sensations yourself."
"Having kids. You f@#k up your body to then have an entity in your life that does the first 2 years nothing but scream, cry, sh#t and eat. Then they learn to really drive you crazy to get what they want. And once you get used to them, they reach puberty, so now they are embarrassed for you and want as little to Do with you as possible, till they move out to call you once a month.
Not saying having kids can’t be awesome too lol, but I know a lot of single mums close to a nervous breakdown."
"The most overrated life experience? Waiting in line for hours to ride a roller coaster. You endure the anticipation, the excitement builds, and then it’s over in 60 seconds, leaving you questioning your life choices while clutching a blurry souvenir photo. Turns out, the real thrill is the line, not the ride itself. Queue the existential crisis"

Correction. It's a 'responsibility.' But being responsible is now considered racist.
Yup, and the nuclear family is racist, as well as math...
...and skilled work, not stealing and coherent diction.
#3 I enjoyed prom though the sex afterwards was only ok. Hey we were young and didn't know all the things we would learn later in life.
#6 Hmm. I think the peak years were my 20s to 30s. Became an NCO, advanced infantry, SNCO. Strong, tough, multi skilled, saw a lot of the world. Got married and had kids. After leaving the Corps, it has been a rather slow burn
#14 You need to see the right ones to get the true thrill of it. An A-10 gun run providing fire support to your guys is a wonderful and beautiful thing.
