OK, just to begin, I didn't make this thread to be funny or mock pre-meds (I am one).
I am a Junior in college and since my freshman year I have literally studied 24/7, 7 days a week. Literally. I have NEVER gone out, don't hang out with friends, or have done ANYTHING remotely entertaining since I've been a freshman (in terms of on a weekly basis).
Its kind of been getting to me lately as I am wondering if I am wasting my life in the books all day. I am also wondering if it is possible to get the same grades but put in half the effort.
I am the type of guy who NEEDS to study this hard to get the grades that I do (my GPA is 3.8, not perfect but not bad). Whenever I DON'T study, I literally get anxiety because I am not studying, and that I should hit the books. It's funny because I was NOTHING like this in high-school (in fact I should have studied a whole lot more). Sometimes I wonder if I could "slack off" just a bit more and get the same grades, and spend that extra free time relaxing/having fun.
Any comments?
