Ahaha, the same happens to me every year. It gets worse because I start to catch up on shows in the summer. This fall I'm looking at 14 shows, don't know if I can stay caught up to all of them...

Burning out isn't fun or healthy.

i know its not fair to judge but a hunch tells me OP is more interested (atm of course) in partying and getting laid, than getting PAID, and putting food on the table. |

Maybe you're the one that needs to better prioritize.

I cant even think of 20 shows in the last 10 years that were worth watching, let alone 30 current ones.

Keep up with the course material and you'll have tons of free time; free time that would have otherwise been spent cramming for math midterms and other such rubbish.
2nd year is ridiculously light compared to 1st. Ideally, 1st year, you should really focus on academics more than a social life to keep up with the change from Highschool to Uni, but its up to you.
Just don't throw away random hours doing pointless stuff and you have a reasonable amount of free time. |

Meh, you should have a good amount. Just make sure you keep up with homework each day, and you shouldn't be too stressed out.

Lol, the hell? How is asking if there is any spare time while in the program a sign of my interests?
I don't even party all that much to begin with, and having a girlfriend is somewhat normal for people our age.
Please, judging me based on a few sentences worth of text is ridiculous. |
