>going back to Uni at 29 to relive my youth and be the cool guy I never was as a teen

Is this seriously that bad of an idea?

This is about as cringe as it can possibly get OP.

There are good reasons to go back to uni, there are people who can make social connections doing so (usually with older students or people going into the same program/field).
You don't have the mindset to make either of those things work.

I went back to university at 30. It was an extremely chill experience. I have street smarts now which I didn't have earlier, and it made it piss easy for me to get all sorts of unfair advantages for the actual coursework. Did a lot of stuff in advance or in absentia. Outplaying the system was a pretty cool experience - as was going through university with complete indifference to other people's assessment of me.

The social aspect was a disappointment, though. The novelty of hanging out with young people wore off real fast. I quickly realised I have absolutely nothing in common with a 21 year old. And I wanted to blow my brains out whenever these kids were bragging/showing off among each other, while internally trembling with anxiety about how others perceive them. I ended up dating a 25 year old from tinder instead, one who had nothing to do with the university. The girls at the university were either insufferably childish, or were smart instead of beautiful.

I would recommend the experience IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT. But not for social reasons.

So you'll be a 29 year old nerd instead of an 18 year old one.

This was mostly my experience as well. I went back at 28 and found my gen z 'peers' to be annoying as fuck or so chronically online and uncultured as to be ignorant of anything outside of tik tok. A handful of people were cool I guess, but it was largely the same with them too. The gen z women are simultaneously hot and completely batshit feminists with the emotional stunting of an abused mental patient, probably because they've all either been raped, or are so utterly sexless as to become neurotic busybodies.

Going back is fine, but don't expect to 'redo highschool' unless you want to be clocked as a loser creep. If you want to hang out with anyone, go to the local bars and hang out with the grad students and young professors who are more your age. It'll probably be more fun anyway.

Adding another person behind all of these. You should go as an adult or go back as an adult for the education itself, not to "be the cool guy and crush college pussy."

So why improve yourself at all if it doesn't affect your income?

No one's saying that you doomer retard
Go find a new niche to be successful in, instead of trying again where you already failed and have even more disadvantages now
