Why is it so hard to balance study time with vidya time? I'm already two years behind my peers because of vidya addiction.
Because you have no willpower, you weakling.
You're hurting yourself by excessively playing vidya and you don't have the willpower to stop that.
>>321511514
I was great at it
>>321511514
You either
A. Are a general apathetic individual to begin with and drastic change strikes you as too much of an effort to be worth while
B. Suffer from paralysis by analysis and overanalyze situations/what you need to do for school to the extent it causes you anxiety and you use vidya to destress.
C. Aren't interested enough in the subject matter you are studying/preparing for/getting a degree in, and alternatively you are interested in vidya
or
D. Lack the proper motivation/willpower and are more content with making excuses that you will study more tomorrow, or in a few hours, or this weekend instead of accomplishing your work after you drive home from lecture and then spending the rest of your free time doing what you like.
So, pick A, B, C, or D and then we can work from there on how to help you.
Also, nice blog.

you should have tried that 10 years ago when gaming wasn't absolute shit
nowadays what the fuck do you play that keeps you from doing anything else?
>>321512169
he can still play old games you dip, just because (you think) gaming is shit now doesn't make old games magically disappear.
>>321511514
playing music makes you smarter, fact
Ha! Well let me tell you something. I am a 19 year old med student in Russia. I play vidya 8 hours a day and learn aroubd 30 minutes and guess what? I passed all the exams! It is because I am a descendant of Ivan the great and eat lots of bread that keeps me strong and going everyday.
My life is healthx and my sex life is even healthier. If you can't get vidya and school sorted out you are a failure of a human beibng you pidr. I may have a little penis but it do big cums I am on my way to become a doctor and pirate the newest games while you spend your time on 4chan complaining. Ha!
>>321512267
Not a single scientific article supports that myth.
>>321511514
I thought music consisted of the shit they taught & whatever my mom listened to on the radio until I was like 13. Fuck you Kasey Kasem & fuck you Sound of Music
>>321511514
it teach you how to suck dick for living
>>321511514
The point of compulsory music was to give the kids who didn't have access to that stuff at home a chance at kindling a passion for it.
It's like fucking random languages you learned. Learning those a younger age helps your brain develop you can more easily learn them later in life.
>>321511514
It was an introduction to music, since they are relatively cheap to replace and maintain.
>>321512410
so like your mom?
>>321512318
neither scientific article doesn't support it
>>321512135
Well, fuck man. You basically need to do a complete 180 with your personality and lifestyle if you want to start moving forward with your life.
My father always told me "Life isn't a sprint it is a marathon."
Pink Floyd told me "No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun."
My point is that both are true to an extent, your life is salvageable if you genuinely want to change but you do have to acknowledge you may never be able to achieve what others who put their nose to the grindstone from day one were able to.
>>321512137
What did you expect? You can't teach creativity. They're there to teach you the fundamentals.
>>321512559
>burden of proof
Fuck me anon, education isn't hard. I'm in my last year at uni and spent most of my past 3 and a half years playing games and doing uni stuff at the last minute and have still got better results than 95% of my class.
Education is custom built for students to pass exams, rather than to actually learn anything about your course of choice.
Try harder OP.
>>321511514
Sometimes you wont have time to play vidya, even on weekends.
Wish my school did that. Never touched a musical instrument until my late 20's. I might have had an interest in music much earlier if they fostered such a program. At least they had art classes.
>>321512050
OH
SHIIIIIIIIT
>>321512838
What kind of major were you going into that you could cram for exams and wasn't lab/project based?
>>321513226
At least you dedicated yourself to play an instrument. You're far better than those people who mope and bitch about "oh my god i don't have the time to do anything, i regret not doing the things i wish i had done when i was young, oh my goooood".
>>321513302

Find what you like, and focus on that while also don't neglect others.
My grade has been bumpy since high school cause I was addicted to vidya too, but I luckily pushed my self-through that and landed a a fine job now. Although, I was a NEET for 3 months after my Uni graduation.

Same anon. It was glorious to see people worry and stress about exams and I just got fucked up constantly and still graduated with a better job than everyone in my class.
I don't know how people can do it. I'm not one to give advice on this because I missed my chance to go to college a long time ago as I'm already 30 and lack even a GED.

I'm assuming you haven't realised there are successful people in nearly every field on the planet. You can do a shit tier major and end up in an amazing job if you are actually good.
I've been interested in financial markets since I was young and knew I could get a good job if I studied it.

>Suffer from paralysis by analysis and overanalyze situations/what you need to do for school to the extent it causes you anxiety and you use vidya to destress.
Holy shit this is me.
I don't even have a vidya problem desu, since quote relate will give me small panic attacks anyway and make me run away.
I've graduated 3 months ago but I still have nightmares about uni.
How do I cure this?

I literally keep dreaming about being back at uni and not being able to get my degree because I haven't done some class (one of the really hard ones) or because my registration there was wrong.
I do miss uni too though, which is weird.
I'm a chemical engineer btw, currently working on getting a master's degree.
>All these people who don't play instruments
I started learning drums when I was 10 years old, nowadays I'm going around the country playing gigs with my band. It does wonders for your self-confidence when you're up on stage. Learn to play something, /v/.It's also gotten me laid plenty of times
>>321517458

>>321517458
Instead of learning instruments I leanedKarate for 15 years and then Krav Maga for 8I'm now a Karate black belt and a Krav Maga certified instructorI'd honestly rather know how to play something though, being able to beat people up is kind of overrated
>>321517647
So buy an instrument and start tooting/plucking or whatever you do with the one you want.
Also recommend is reading some about say reading notes and a bit of music theory so you can Google vidya tunes and play them without guesswork
>>321517458
Buying a bass guitar next month, after I get paid. Super excited, but I fear it's going to be difficult to learn, since I have no experience playing an instrument.any tips?
>>321516698
How do you people do uni so easily? I'm having anxiety problems from uni. My hair is falling out, my stomach is fucked up and I'm fucking stressed to fuck. Every time I think about studying I remember how much shit I have to do and I get the feeling of dread deep in my guts and I have to do something else, I don't know wat to do to stop this, I literally get scared of studying. On the occasion that I overcome this I actually can learn quite alot and as long as I don't stop I can study pretty well for a few hours. I'm really desperate at this point since finals are almost here and I need to do my semestral projects.

>>321517647
It's not to late anon!
>>321517910
Basically, what this anon said: >>321517803
Learn a little bit of music theory, learn to read sheet music. You might never need to know it, depending on what music you play, but it's useful when you actually get to write songs.
Look up the bass tabs for your favourite songs and learn them. If it's too difficult for a beginner, find an easier song.
And also learn about your instrument, learn which notes are where and how to tune by ear and such. Again, you could just buy a tuner and tune your guitar in no time at all but tuning by ear is a useful skill.
I've just moved on from all of the stress and sadness. I'm just angry all the time. I don't even play vidya anymore.
Like I'm pissed no matter. I'm most likely very mentally ill. I'm fucked for life.
>>321511928

This is authentic experience of playing a bass guitar in your average rock/pop/etc band. Sadly the popular music isn't really that hyped about grooves or interesting base lines or base solos.
As to some advice, you have to actively listen to music to learn music. Here is some quality bass shit:

Marcus Miller, Foley and Victor Wooten are mandatory listening if you play this instrument.

I'm not sure but I'm pretty laid back about most things.
Just try to get a structure in your head. Look at the material, look at mock exams and understand what you need to know to get a good grade.
Try to understand rather than memorise when studying. It'd be near impossible to just remember a bunch of things you've never known before so just try to structure your revision near exam times and make sure you understand the logic behind what you are being taught rather than just trying to memorise a bunch of information/formulas etc.
I'm quite an obsessive person with things. For example, when I play games I can sit and get pretty addicted to one game and play for 20+ hours without a break. The same applies to studying. I will sit and get absorbed in studying for really long periods of time. I don't study frequently but when I do it's pretty exhaustive.
Also, when going into exams, I always try to think I've came out with 100%. I obviously don't get 100% but with that attitude rather than "Oh, I hope I've done enough to pass" has always yielded the best results and I normally come away with a better grade than nearly everyone in my class.
>>321518615

Yeah it's pretty easy but I fucking hate this shit. The whole subject is disgusting. I wish I stuck with engineering.
>>321516282
Finance has to be the only field where you can fuck everything up for everyone and still get paid the most.
It used to be a pretty modest paying boring job before it was freed up to run rampant and fuck everything up. It will probably return there once everyone has had enough.
>>321519670
Eh the money helps. Depending on your company when you get out, it could get better. You'll either be an Excel jockey or a valued business partner they bring in for every meeting. I was the first one until I put in my two weeks and now the job is more fulfilling. Hated it in school, but I'll switch careers to something that involves travel in a few years.
