Is it possible to study too much for college, /adv/? Since the semester started, I haven't shaved because I don't have the time and I'm having to make myself eat because I don't feel hungry anymore. Every moment I have is buried in a textbook and when I can't study any longer from fatigue, I feel horrible and guilty. I feel like I haven't studied enough after six hours and I feel guilty when I have to take breaks. I feel like I murdered someone when I take a fifteen minute break to get some fresh air.

Has anyone else went through this? What do you guys think I should do?

Sadly anon, I went through this exact same thing. During my freshman and softmore year, I would study all day and feel bad when I was not studying. Then, during my junior and senior year, the reality of the situation dawned on me. Grades don't mean shit. GPA doesn't mean shit. The high GPA didn't help me get a job at all. I stuggled to find work, and then when I found it, it sucked.

Sorry to give you the redpill OP. It's a tough pill to swallow, but it's good for you

Yes

You study enough for a 3.0-4.0 GPA and supplement that with things that are useful or fun. Join a club. make friends. Fall in love. if you feel like those aren't productive enough, get a job. You are wasting your youth.

what classes are you even taking where you need to study this much?

how are your grades?

Every academic I've ever talked to has said studying like that is fucking stupid.

You are going for quantity over quality and your work won't be efficient and health will suffer making it worse. Schedule time for work and time for non-work and stick to it. You clearly have to motivation to stick to a schedule. Make sure you do things you actually enjoy and don't work in blocks of more than 2 hours without break.

With a lot of subjects at university there's always more to do, more reading, more notes to make, but you just have to learn to live with being okay with not devoting every waking minute to academics

What the fuck are you studying where you have to hit the books for six hours?

I hear engineering and stuff can be brutal but dude I was pre-med and I only studied hard for exams and shit and it was never that egregious besides the occasional all-nighter (which I only did because I had shit study habits, if I were putting in an hour a day proactively I would've been fine).

Maybe you have some kind of complex about your work ethic. I can't imagine you *need* to study this much, but maybe you have some kind of pathological fear of failure driving you to study compulsively. Think about it, and maybe seek help if you find it to be a problem.

Are you quadruple majoring or something stupid? How can you be studying this much and still be this fucking stupid, stupid?
>>
You need to be more efficient at studying.
Only study what the prof says is going to be on a test.

dude, i took upwards of 24 credits a semester, only studied for a few hours a day, and ended up with a 3.5 gpa by graduation
