I've always found that balance between work and play hard as from one aspect I'm pressured by my family to get another job, and then the next second they're telling me I need to get out more - so there is always that pressure from family too.
I don't have enough fun to keep me happy I think, now that I think about it I do often feel down and I'm usually swarmed in work or other obligations which prevent me from being social in some aspects. -

I'm definitely having fun with my friends because a lot of our conversations are energetic and funny.
It's always a downer when I have to start working again, even though I feel guilty if I've been having fun for too long.
But I think I'm balancing work and play quite well, as I don't feel stressed and I'm happy -

I think people's idea of fun can be very different and can change as they find out who they are... I just had my birthday and had the nicest time but it was mainly just ordering in wagamamas and watching Walking Dead and then eating out with my friends in the evening.
I would say budgeting gets more in the way of fun than anything else... if you work with lovely people, such as in our office, than coming into work can be a lot of fun too -

I'm having far too much fun and paying the consequences for it at Uni at the moment tbh.

Not really. UCAS application stress + pesky life trajectory-determining aptitude tests = not fun. :/

When I'm given to much free time my mind starts to wonder and inevitably I just end up down the pub spending money I don't have on pints that do my body no favours. Just stuck in a cycle of work hard Monday to Friday and then destroy my body with drink Saturday to Sunday, it's got to the point I don't even enjoy drinking but I'll do it just to pass the time. Gone from a few pints with friends to bottles of wine and vodka to get drunk quickly and cheaply and free me from my own brain for a while. -

I like my A levels and academia in general, but I wouldn't call it fun at this point. Maybe it will be better at university, when I can study exactly what I'm interested in. Until then, my friends and my boyfriend are my sources of fun.
I can handle the balance at the moment, but it's 70% work and 30% play because my grades are permanent. I really hope my relationship lasts through university, I think I've found someone really special and I don't want to scare him away with my work ethic and the potential long-distance thing.Last edited by Laurasaur; 28-10-2015 at 17:15. -

I'll be quite honest, I'm a fun loving guy and have always gotten on pretty well socially, but I've never felt more isolated and miserable than after starting uni.

Have fun enough to live my life out. Don't need more of it. That is the right dose.

People say I'm boring, and I mean if you take the conventional definition of fun, they're probably right. Although, I enjoy problem solving and I study further maths and computer science; so I have lots of fun according to me. I guess it's all about perspective. -

I guess, you are right. If have fun means enjoying something. I would say reading books and drawing pictures make fun too. Me at least.

Think the same. There are really a lot of good books which make fun by reading them.
