Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Yeah kid better learn to enjoy the drudgery imposed on you by institutions because it's all you'll be allowed til you die. /s

Seriously if this comic was trying to communicate the message to enjoy the time you have it's sure shooting itself squarely in the foot with it's scenario.

a better scenario is waiting on the train, while some kids are playing paper games. It's “dull” waiting if you don't do anything else than wait.

I’d bethe person playing “Simon says,” or “truth or dare” to icebreak my commuters.😁

Which means kids should play paper games during class to make these moments less dull.
