You sound like someone that has their mind on everything. You want to study but want to have fun at the same time. I wish I can say that is possible, but it's not. Taking your time to actually focus on something, and talking to friends and having a fun time is hard to do. You don't focus on what your supposed to do ,and the thing you deem more appealing takes up the entire time. Do not procrastinate! It's horrible to do and we have all been victims to it before, if not then the time will come. My suggestion to actually making studying more fun, is to set up some goals for yourself. Your future is one thing, imagine all the job opportunities you could get from this engineering class. Heck even to make your family and friends proud, maybe even look up to you and follow in your foot steps. Lastly, become organized. Plan things out, and make sure that things have enough time to do for what you intend to do. For example, studying doesn't have to take up most of your life, set up times where you can incorporate studying time, and relaxation time. Aka the weekends. Hope this helps and Good Luck!

It may seem to you like a long time but you would be wise to focus on your studies. Life is full of competition and this time builds the foundations for your whole career. Engineering is not an easy subject (but very worthwhile) and there is no room for error. Your friends will have to take a back seat for a while if they are true friends.

Look on this time as an investment for the future, it could provide a few luxuries which you will otherwise miss.

Look at a few successful engineers, and ask yourself if they have sacrificed their friends, their personalities, and their social aptitude for the sake of their studies. The answer is an unequivocal yes! If you don't want to do this, go study liberal arts or something. Good luck finding a job!

I am not sure but the choice is yours, you have to decided so choose wisely

This is my first year of engineering and everyone wants me to study all the time. OK, I know it's not going to be so easy. I know I've grown up and now studies need more time. But does that mean I have to sacrifice so much?! I'm someone who always need a critical point in every work which is unlimited. Example, studying. And having fun too! We can go on studying and revising forever. We can go on having time pass and fun all the time forever. There are no limits for such things. We need to set our own limits. --And that's exactly what is my problem. I can't set limits for my time which I spend for doing things I like and time for doing things which I have to (studies).

Because I'm not getting sufficient marks in exams, I think I'll study more for the next exam. But! I realize I'm making the 'living' time of my life lesser and lesser! What I like is to watch TV for 1 hour everyday (that's fixed), use the PC (not fixed, just half an hour) &some time for friends. I don't say I want to do these all the time, but, I at least need to this! I can't stop sitting on the PC and ask friends to not meet me for another 4 years till I complete my studies!

So, this is the thing I ask-

1) Is engineering really this bad? Do I really need to sacrifice friends, time I spend to develop my personality for studies.

2) If YES, it's all OK. If it is actually like this, then I'm ready. I'll make a way to make studies my everything.

If NO, then you tell me what to do! How do I set a limit!
