See that picture in your OP? That is essentially NEETLife®

Being a NEET is awesome. It's going to suck once I have to get a job, though.

That one year will turn into a decade.

The only thing you have to fear as a NEET is the future.

>What does /jp/ think about this?
I think it's not your blog. Reported.

Failed one class? In the 3 semesters I've been at University, I don't think I've passed any class.

Enjoy becoming a lazy bastard, gaining weight and pissing/shitting on the floor. I know I do.

>>3158619
Which college? If you get held back from graduating for 1 course they're a bag of dicks.

>>3158637
You mean losing weight. NEETs are too busy being NEETs to eat.

>>3158644
Too busy doing nothing?

>>3158644

Assuming one subsists on noodles, it's quite easy.

Real NEETs have a BMI of less that 16.

>>3158644
True. I ate cereal and some ramen yesterday and busied myself playing Umineko. I'll probably do the same today.

I can't imagine what it's like not being a NEET. What a terrible life most people must have.

>>3158639
I failed English and didn't take a summer course to make up for it. Yes, I'm a dumbass.

>>3158619
It's cool at first, but it started to get boring for me after I'd gone through tons of anime/VNs/games/etc. So I went back to college after two years of NEETdom.

>>3158669
Why didn't you just do a stupid summer course? You know they are easy mode, right?

>>3158619
a master is in :3

The year will turn into more years if you have that attitude, get back on your feet and keep running anon.

I was kicked out of my computer college six months ago.
I'm feeling good and bad at the same time.

You failed your native language?

>>3158660
Cereal brofist.
I live on Nutrigrain and pizzarolls. I'm living the good life.

>>I failed one of my courses so I won't be able to graduate next year.
wait what? i'm confused...
can't you take that course again and pass it? that shouldn't take a whole year...
taking the year of to "relax" is stupid, you'll regret it i GUARANTEE it.
my brother, stopped going to college, then he realized his life would suck without college, so he started going again.
one of my friends stopped going too, but then he lost his job and he's going back to college again also.
so here's how i see it, take that class again as soon as possible, no "relax" time, it's only one fucking class, DEAL WITH IT.
either that or never go to college again, your choice...

If you really need it, go for it. But don't let your NEETdom extend any further than the deadline you set for yourself. Make getting your shit prepared to finish that degree your first priority, then you can take it easy for the rest of your tenure as a NEET while avoiding the horrible hikki spiral.

Don't make the same mistake I did. It may be too late for me, but you can still save yourself, OP.

>>3158674
I was suicidal at that time and didn't really care.

Now I'm too late.

>>3158684
It's posts like this that make me truly appreciate the fact that, even though I'm a NEET that hardly leaves his room, I can still connect with people. Makes me feel at home.

>>3158685
Listen to this man. It took a great deal of willpower for me to get off my ass and complete the procedures to get back into college again. Not everyone has that willpower, so to be safe, don't take a break.

>>3158669
I know how it feels, you could have made a rather simple choice and have everything somewhat fixed, but you chose something self-destructive.
Well, good luck. NEET is great if you get a certain mindset.

I slept through my finals after going through the night playing through a VN

>>3158702
But you're always at home, because you're a NEET.

>>3158702
Personally, I think you should actually go home. You'll be able to eat real food again.

>>3158679
My third language.

>>3158702
I love you too stranger who I'll never see face to face. You may not think it, but I'll always think of you when I eat my cereal, wondering what culinary delights under $7 you are currently enjoying.

I tried taking a few online college courses last year, but I just ended up dicking around on the computer all day.

I don't think I really thought that one through.

>>3158717
Real food is awesome. My old dorm didn't have a fridge (nor a stove), and I didn't have much money, so I ate one meal a day and survived on anything that could be eaten as is, thereby giving myself anorexia. Then I moved back home and could finally use my cooking abilities to feed myself, bringing my weight back to a healthy 9x lbs.

On that note, eating instant noodles raw is awesome.

OP here, so far most of you regret being a NEET.

But how do you support yourself? Like do you guys leech off your parents or what? I'm not just going to stay in my room for a whole year, I'm going to work.

>>3158669
We're in a similar situation.
Except I haven't check if I really failed yet.

>>3158765
You're not a NEET if you work, my friend.

>>3158717
To be honest with you, I am home. It's just that I usually watch the house alone, so I eat cereal and ramen. Or if I can't be assed to wait for ramen, I'll eat some townhouse crackers.

>>3158751

> eating instant noodles raw is awesome

I used to do that a lot when I couldn't be fucked to boil water. Still do it from time to time.

>>3158765
>I'm going to work.
Only one of the Es in NEET stands for Education. I think you need to find out what the other one is for.

Raw Ramen? Are you guys fucking 10 years old?

>>3158751
>eating instant noodles raw
I used to do that.
I have ulcer now, I don't know if it's because of that. ;_;

>>3158778
>>3158788
So what do you guys usually do to pass time?

>>3158765
I would go to work, but jobs require "a positive attitude" and "people skills," so it's pointless.

>>3158811
Anime, VNs, manga, Touhou, fapping, eating, sleeping for 12 hours at a time

>>3158816
You could be the stock guy or be a night clerk.

>>3158811
Stare at the wall and /jp/

I'd open the bag, pull out the soup mix, rip ope the soup mix powder, pour that into the ramen bad, and then crush the ramen noodles into bite size pieces using my knee. It feels like crushing a bag of rats. It tastes delicious.

>>3158821
Nah, they also apply to jobs like that, too. I'm not sure why.

>>3158811

The same thing you're doing right now, Anonymous

Only more of it

>>3158834
I crush my ramen too, only I pretend like I'm giving my waifu a massage. Or rather, I pretend that I'm practicing so I can give her a massage later.

>>3158811
Internet, VN, anime, games. If you go to a job the only thing you do is try to pass the time with 1/6 of the time being real work, but you're a lot more limited in what you can do to pass the time.

>>3158811
The same things you do in your office. Browse the internet.

>>3158794
no, just horribly lazy

Don't do it.
I took a semester off, a single semester, and it threw me off.
It's a goalless, drifting life. With nothing to do all day, you start to go into a deeper and deeper depression wondering every single moment of your day awake where did you went wrong and why are you such a waste of human flesh and resources.

Don't take a time off. Get back to studying harder and get back on your feet. Try to graduate, make that your only purpose, and grasp that future with your own hands.

I didn't enjoy my time as a NEET, I don't know how the rest did it. Now I have my degree and looking for a job. It might not be the relaxed life of sleeping all day and having no worries other than what VN I was going to read that day, but at least it's a life.

>>3158811
You could always learn Japanese if you don't already know it.
That's what I'd say but it's been more than a year and I haven't learned it yet.
Feels bad man.

>>3158868
You make the NEET life sound like a bad thing. Shame on you.

>>3158630

You're not serious right?

>>3158906
It's possible, I know someone who spent five semesters before he passed a class.

>>3158868
>It's a goalless, drifting life
It depends on the person, though. Not everyone enjoys grinding on MMOs, much less real life MMOs. I for one enjoy my complete freedom.

pfft lightweights, I been in this lifestyle since 1999. And thanks to Michigan being nothing but unemployed people(more than double the #2 unemployed state) and the other half being retired hunters. I just look like any other regular jack-off

>>3158949

>>3158913

Wow is this CC or the actual 4yr stuff (in the US im assuming). Becuz here its 2 sems of no class pass you're essential out. And besides even if it really was that lenient wouldn't one think to themselves "is this shit worth it" in so many aspects too.

>>3158980
He's a stubborn fuck. His degree only needs like 40+ units to graduate, and he's finished 20-something over eight years.

backpack across a country or continent

you'll probably only get this one chance to ever do it if you end up with a full time job later, so go for it

>>3159005
I'd like to do something like that but I'm afraid of talking to people.

It's all good until you become so lazy that you start to piss on the floor.

The thing about taking a break is that when you go to an interview for college (if you do), they'll ask you what you did during your break. Did you work? Did you teach yourself French? Did you backpack across the country? The state? Or did you sit on your ass the entire time in front of your computer, playing vidya gaems, surfing the web, and fapping to pictures of Beatrice and a naked Battler?

>>3159029
Can't you just lie?

I am 26 years old now, the last time that i took some classes to learn something was in 2003/2004. Since then i pretty much spent my time at home in front of my pc doing whatever i wanted with my free time.
Many people say that they regret their course of actions, or want to lead a normal life, but i can say proud: I lived my life how i wanted it to be, without restraint or pressure or stress. Many would say you wated your life, you are useless, but how many of you can say that they lived at least 10 years of their life the way they wanted it to be? Life is pretty much slaving away at a job nearly every day 3/4 of your life, people just can't live how they want it, at least i had some good time in my life before i need to finally find something now because i am running out of time and money.

>>3159032
>I studied French.
>"Oh really? How well do you speak it? You know, I studied French in college too. Bonjour, je'mapelle wine et other frenchy stuff
>...

>Oh, I backpacked across my state.
>"Oh really? Did you have fun? How did you survive? How did you eat? How much money did you take with you? Did you use your own car, or hitchhike? Where did you go visit?
>...

>I took on a job.
>"Oh really? What job was it, who was your employer, why isn't it on the application/resume, and what number can I call them at?
>...

Still, even if you do lie, it's better to actually experience some things rather than play on the computer all the time.
At least, that's what my parents have been telling me for the past few years.

>>3159070
You can lie, just make sure it's a bulletproof one.

>>3159108
such as..?

>>3159070
at last someone that understands me
I can never lie in interviews ;_;

I spent a year as a hiki/NEET when I was a teenager after I stopped going to school. It was nice, but it quickly got boring. Went back the next year a year behind because of it.

>>3159110
One that can't be unverified by a single call.

Pretty shitty for me, but that's because I'm fucked up in the head with depression and all, which is why all I've done the last year since dropping out is waste day after day on 4chan and other websites. There's all kinds of books/games/anime/manga/programming I could be spending time on, but I have no motivation to do much of anything, and don't get pleasure from anything I used to enjoy. And since I didn't have enough problems already, I finally worked up the nerve to make appointments to get back into therapy, but the only mental health center in my city has fucktarded staff and it's taking me weeks just to get an appointment. At least my parents don't care about me leeching off them, else I'd be homeless in a gutter or dead.

>>3159144
For example?

Let us all join the Army, hijack a ship and build our own NEET Land.

>>3159070
Most of those questions are pretty easy to answer if you actually put some effort into your lie instead of just coming up with it on the spot.

>>3159110
If you claim you work, make sure that you're crazy prepared for anything he might throw at you about it.

>>3159153
>Let us all join the Army, hijack a ship and build our own NEET Land.
What does building a 'NEET Land' have to do with hijacking ships?
I propose we get our hands on some secluded quiet castle, and make a NEET monastery.

>>3159153

We NEETs can't follow through on shit. We'd jack a ship and make it into international waters, then run out of food or some shit because we can't handle that sort of sustained effort.

The scrawny ones with no body fat to live off would be killing and eating the fat ones in a week, tops.

Feels good man. All the days blend into one. There's no set time for meals or sleep. You basically do whatever you want whenever you feel like it with complete disregard for the outside world's schedule. I miss those days.

>>3159189
Did you miss the Join the Army Thread last night?

>>3159198
Kill and eat? More like kill- and then get too lazy to cook and eat. They would just starve to death.

For some reason I find OP's picture to be very heartwarming.

>>3159235
>There's no set time for meals or sleep
I didnt have those even before going NEET.

>>3159235
My days are separated, mostly because I make it a habit to wake up at dusk and head to bed an hour or two past dawn.

>>3159270
I still don't have set times for meals either, but I work part time now and I always have to be there at 4, so I usually go to bed somewhere between 2 and 5 am and get up between 11 and 2. I'm in the middle of a 9 day vacation now and everything is starting to blur again though.
