Aye this has truth, looking back I pretty much wasted my university years playing games because I was not willing to sacrifice the comfort of living with parents and moving out, which would have forced me to work and given me more purpose.

As a result I learned little (of coursework anyway), my health deteriorated (played too much games), and there was tension in the family relationships because you can sense when someone is wasting their lives.

Which is the long version of: Where there is no vision, the people perish. (Proverbs 29:18)

I wasted life even whilst knowing it was wrong, but what you have to do is give yourself a purpose, and getting that purpose is the hardest thing.
