Hello /adv/ i would like some help, preferably from someone with psychiatric/psychological experience, or anyone really.
Growing up i played a lot of video games, around 8 - 12 hours a day. I didn't socialise much and i was a shut in. I am now 18 years old (turned 18 this year).
I'm going to university next year and i'm planning on quitting playing video games to study all day. I'm planning on studying from when i wake up, going to my lectures if i had them, and down to when i go to sleep.
What would be the effect to a long time gamer like me. Video games have always been my stress reliever/refuge, I'm worried without it i would perform worse.
Im thinking if i'm passionate in what i'm studying i would never become tired of studying all day, and i'll be able to keep it up for the whole year.
I guess i'm asking for help in how to keep balance between work and play.
any feedback is greatly appreciated.

No one's able to study literally all day or else they'd burn out.
It's ok to play videogames. Just prioritize your schoolwork and studies over them. NEVER fall behind in college. NEVER.
I'm a 20 year old sophomore in community college. I'm transferring fall 2017. I don't know how much harder classes are going to be but I'm already preparing my study habits.

Allow yourself 2 hours of video games a day at the same time every day
You'll die studying all day everyday

1) You won't have enough material to study for that long. I promise you.
2) Don't do that, you'll burn yourself out and drop out within a year.
3) Go out and socialize instead. Uni is a chance for a clean slate start, nobody has any preconceived notions about you.

Don't shut yourself in, playing video games or studying it doesn't matter. These 2-4 years is prime time to socialize, make friends and have easy sex. It's easy to make friends, 99% chance the place has a video game club. Find your refuge with friends instead of games. Spread out and find other interests too.

dont anticipate quitting cold turkey first try
ive quit cold turkey in some things, but only after multiple tries
video games arent bad, just use in moderation
consider replacing some time youd spend playing games with reading or working out, or planning for a future career
best wishes
