1. The road to becoming a doctor is not without it’s struggles. If you want to do it, you have to deal with some difficulties along the way.



OP’s problem has nothing to do with being pre-med or wanting to go to med school.

you aren’t the only one in college who is taking classes nor are you taking the hardest classes by any stretch of the imagination



2. That said…getting into med school should never preclude you from having fun and doing things you enjoy. That’s absolutely unhealthy. You may not be able to party like the business majors, but the fact that you know it was 20 hours is disturbing to me. I mean seriously, life is about balance, and if you’re feeling guilty for doing things you like…well I feel sorry for you.

3) If you need to allot 20 hours in a weekend to studying, you’re doing it wrong. You absolutely need to study smarter rather than harder. There has to be a way to be more efficient with your time.



both excellent pieces of advice. there should always be time for focused studying and time for relaxation and fun. you should not think about one when doing the other. also, unless you are coming upon an exam week there is absolutely no reason you should be spending 20 hours studying during the weekend. If you’ve been spending your college career studying this much, doing ECs and not really having much fun you are probably burned out by now…you need to reassess your study habits and become more efficient.
