Am i getting old if i feel the same way, i get really excited to have some time off to finally game only to then realize its really exhausting and i'd rather just watch some series or stream
Nah, I think that starts happening when you first get a job. Jobs take longer than school and generally are more labor intensive, and there's also the commute, and when you get home you have to do chores and either make healthy food or eat something garbage for your body, and that's just as a single person or a couple. It's no wonder everyone's tired, the 9-5 grind can be really exhausting, and when you're tired anything that takes effort feels like a grind.
Just to be clear, I don't mean to sound hopeless. There are things you can do that make life feel meaningful and to allow you to enjoy your time, I just mean that life can be tiring.
