How do you fags find time to read?


>stem fag
>final year chem degree
>capstone classes
>research and senior thesis
>grad school exams
>applying to grad school
>maintaining a social life and just got a new gf
>try somehow to exercise/lift 6 hours a week
>still want to get ample sleep


I have books on my nightstand I pick up and read right before bed but ever since the semester started, I can't even get through 10 pages before I fall asleep from exhaustion. Is everyone on here just a NEET but instead of playing vidya and watching anime they read books?

Step 1. Move away from being a STEM fag.
Step 2. Cut back on the social life

What >>10040217 said, I'm in Grad school and just decided to say fuck it a while back to dating and exercise. I just don't have the time, and I need something to relax my mind so I don't go nuts.

Well it seems youve got a lot going on. Dont feel pressurized to read a book a week or whatnot, take it at your own pace. Either read when/if you take the bus or train to school and whatnot, or when you're hanging with your gf, read around her instead of vidya/watching tv.

Maybe audiobooks while you exercise.

Same way you make time to go to the gym, you just have to cut out some time. Even 45 mins or something before bed is better than nothing.

Oh look, it's another student who thinks university is hard and time consuming compared to a 45 hour job which saps all your time and energy and you have to live your entire day around and you have to work really hard because if you get fired you won't be able to pay the mortgage. Get a grip.

Leave this place and never look back You've had the good fortune not to spend your formative years on here, don't let that go to waste.

This site is a Faustian deal. You get suckered in by memes, interesting topics and community. But then suddenly it's the better part of a decade later and you realize the memes suck, no one actually knows anything about those topics and that the community is hot-garbage. Only now you've adapted to it so thoroughly there is no escape.
