I’d go crazy if I were trapped alone with just my thoughts for that long.

I’m sure you’re probably looking for answers like “took LSD” or “partied with friends” but, from someone that did that, my answer is 100%, without question: got a fucking degree. Any kind of degree. Now, in my late 30s, I don’t have time between work and family obligations. I’ve missed out on so many better paying jobs, even ones that I was over qualified for based on experience, because I don’t have a degree.
