It kinda sucks, but if all of your friends are doing it, it is simply part of life.
It also make university into a bit more business-like, “I’m here to get my degree and get out, not actually enjoy myself”. That can happen hen you start your undergrad at an age at which undergrads here are graduating, you’re required to take the same number of credits as college kids in the USA, but often in three years, and you generally need to be working at least part time, as well.
On the other hand, after military service, there is enjoyment in doing anything that isn’t military, and much of the less leisurely aspect so studying can feel like leisure, compared to military life…
