Anyone who is bored after leaving school is probably doing something wrong. Or in a queue, possibly in the State Bank of India.

school is the funnest part of life, after then it only comes stress, responsibility, and cruelty of the reality.

You must have had a really awful life after leaving school. I don't think I'd exchange even the worst parts of my life since for even the best part of my time at school -- and it was a pretty good school. Compulsory sports; school rules; no girls (it was a boys' school); every part of the school day under someone else's control; no thanks.
Cheers,

read a book. may I suggest Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet, which can be dipped into at leisure and will transform your life.

I think being bored can be very therapeutic and also motivational.

That sounds like you had had an awful school life. Partly probably because you had been a good student.
My sympathy.
Being in school means that one is free from any responsibility and work, with the only duty being to have fun every day every minute!
Compulsory to have fun? What are school rules? Wolfpacks talk no gender.
Under someone's control? Really? A part of being responsibility free is to not worry about consequences.
On the other hand I don't want you to find out how great a school life is, coz then you will want to dial back your clock and experience that funnest part of life that you missed.
I definitely missed my school life, although I can't say I am outa school yet.

Uh... no. I also taught for a few years, so I've seen schools from both sides of the counter. 'Free from responsibility and work'? Yeah... I had pupils like that. It's where 'education' becomes 'child minding'.
Nowadays (as has been the case for well over 30 years), I choose when I work; what I do (except the taxes and stuff like that); when I get up, what I eat and when (and it's better than school food)... I've been very happily married for 30 years (teenage love and angst? No thanks); I travel when I feel like it and can afford it (last week my wife and I went down to Spain for a couple of days); I don't have a lot of false deadlines (essays, handing in exams); there are no longer compulsory sports, or the Combined Cadet Force on Tuesdays.
As for being a 'good student', well, yes, academically; but put it this way, I was not exactly popular with many of the staff, because I was regarded as something of a rebel. Have you ever seen the movie 'If..."?
Sure, there are drawbacks to getting older (I'm 61) but the drawbacks of being a kid are greater. I was at a minor public (= private, for those unfamiliar with the English system) school in the UK; my wife went through the New York school system, and has the same views I do.
Cheers,

To snivel or complain in a peevish, self-pitying way. Stop whining.
