Today is the first day I've been able to appreciate the

I'm here. Even just to listen.

It's finally the weekend after a week of classes and I feel really dumpy and lethargic even though I need to do shit like study for my first tests.

Any advice for times like this?

Listen to me carefully anon: you have to put your health first. If you're stretching the limit on your energy, then drop a class and keep dropping until you hit a course load you can manage. I say this because I burned out four years ago and have been recovering since (well, the undiagnosed illnesses had something to do with it but still). Another possibility is that you're majoring in something you really hate and should switch (Idunno). To up your energy though, I suggest taking a hot shower with a washcloth, scrubbing yourself down after you soap up, and at the last second switching it to cold, then turn it off. Studywise, use every morale boost you can. Play good music (I like Castlevania Symphony of the Night), get some classmates to join you, grab some raw vegetables to snack on (fuck the freshman 15), and force yourself to take breaks every 15 minutes for 5 minutes where you just walk around or whatever. It helps.

OP here: I'll be back in about an hour.

> If you're stretching the limit on your energy, then drop a class
I think I've hit my current limit, nothing more and nothing less, just as much work as I can do before I break. Dropping a class would also really hurt me time wise, this should've been my last semester but now it may be the second or even third to last depending on how many classes I can take next semester.
> I say this because I burned out four years ago
Ahh, I burned myself out in 2014 and basically went crazy for a week until my friend at the time(wish we were still friends) calmed me down. I couldn't imagine having to be in that state for that long, glad you're doing better.
>taking a hot shower then cold shower
I'll try that, cold water does make me feel more alert and awake.
>Play good music (I like Castlevania Symphony of the Night)
Castlevania music is so good, I'll see if this helps while I study, or at least do the tedious parts of studying
>get classmates to join you
I think this is a good idea, being alone is probably making me more stressed.

The rest is good too, I do need to get better at taking breaks, one sitting every time I study is killing me. Thanks for the /adv/ice anon, I hope you continue to do better for yourself.

Yeah. It also helps to figure out - fast - what you like doing and getting the most relevant degree. I'm a musician so sound engineering is mine - I was in uni for electrical and mechanical engineering at the time though, and it was not good.

OP you should rephrase your thread to be more straight to the point next time. I'm the only one to reply because it's not really immediately clear that this is a thread about you giving advice.

Again I appreciate your advice from earlier bro, really have been taking it to heart for the past few hours.
