Those times when you really want to play but can't

[nerdatheart9490]

I hate those times. And I'm sure a lot of other people do. I'm a full time student in university, and I REALLY want to play right now, but I'm in class. Then I have homework, then another class. And tomorrow I'm in class and at work from 7 in the morning until 5 at night. I'm not going to be able to play until tomorrow night! I'm going crazy! lol

Does anyone else get like this? Want to share your acnl mental breakdown?

Once, I played AC in class.. good memories lol :')

Right now I'm working, but still got a lot of free time to play. Next year will be different tho, I'll move out from current workplace and go someplace new with very- very limited internet access, which means it'll be hard for me to be on TBT or playing online. Imagining that makes me a little bit sad

For a while it's been hard for me to play, as I've been really busy at work. So, sometimes I'd play on the bus back and forth to work. Sneak 30 minutes here or there!

I'm a homeschooled student and part time doll artist, so it's very difficult to ever have to time for anything if I'm not painting and hair rooting (and dealing with customers...) and then switching to homework and studies. But I try to organize a separate time in the day to sit down and enjoy my town don't sink yourself too much!!

a lot of the time I can't play due to mental health problems lmao. i wish i had the energy and motivation to play more but some days i can't even find any reason to do anything other than talk to my villagers for 5 mins and checking the shops even though animal crossing is one of my absolute favourite things.

i hope you'll have some time off soon and get to play your game more.

Yesterday when I was at work and I knew Gala was in boxes and I couldn't play to find her a new home </3

When I used to play NL regularly, I brought my 3Ds to school so I can play NL on the bus or whenever I had free time when the teachers didn't care what we did. But then someone stole it (or accidentally took it, TBH I don't know)...
I got it back, but I'm never bringing any valuable electronics to school again. Especially since the other day my friend's phone got stolen, on purpose.

School can be rough, but make sure you do leave time for some fun and friends/relationships and downtime. Life can be hectic but it should be fun, Carpe Diem seize the day whenever you get the chance to do or be with so done or so etching that makes you happy and grounded.

Oh yeah, when you gotta work or have studies xD

I find myself making to-do lists for my town...at work. Haha. I only do it when I have downtime, of course. Sometimes I come up with my best planning ideas when I'm forced to be away from the game itself.

My Labyrinth-themed town of Goblin was planned entirely while I was at work one day! (We were already closed, but I was stuck there, and then inspiration struck.)

YES. I had my entire Farm town and Critters town thought out before I even started the games. I would think about it at work, too. By the way, I love your Goblin town. It's one of my favorites.

Oh, wow, thank you! All of your towns are among my favorites, and I mean it--not just saying that because of your compliment! I've visited some of them more than once, too. (If I had to choose, I am partial to Critters and Sunshine, though I'd have to visit them all again to be sure. Haha.)

I am currently working on another themed dream town, and I have been planning this one during downtime at work, as well.

So yes, nerdatheart9490, it seems that sometimes being away from one's game can provide inspiration. Still, I hope you are able to find time in your super busy schedule to unwind with your town at last!
