I thought I'd ask here as I'd imagine many of you might have been in my position once
Does anyone have any advice to help keep going at this pace?
I know it's quite a difficult question to answer but really anything would be appreciated.

I am in similar situation + i have been in hospital now for 3 days with(out) apendix. I fear that i will not pass this semester.
If you want it, try to pass. Be less lazy next time (a lot can be done ahead) and just to be sure apply for school again. I have done it. All y friends did it. Just for sures.

Yeah and they are very simple easy tips
1) Get smarter so that you have to work less
2) Trick your brain into giving you pleasure from studying
Yesterday I wanted to masturbate but I then remembered I had a test in two days and then I ended up studying for like 3 hours.
Then I decided to eat something and then when thinking about what to do I ended up studying another topic for maybe 2 more hours.
I don't even have to try anymore.

Say that to Terence tao , work less
OP, do you know your IQ? If it's over 120, you shouldn't be having to work this much.
Ask for help
Use your time wisely with work

HAHA filthy brainlets getting what they deserve!
If you can't effortlessly get into a top 10 physics or maths program you are GENETICALLY INFERIOR and should accept your place as a servant to your superiors
Seriously though, focus on cutting out non-essential parts of your work. Lots of hard working people get so used to doing everything through hard work that they never really get efficient at getting things done. As a rule of thumb, if it doesn't get you closer to your goals, don't bother
