Not really science but you guys are probably to most likely to understand.

I'm a freshman in college(EE) taking 5 classes and working about 10 hours a week, I know, not a lot but with the 5 classes I wouldn't want to work much more. I'm not coming here to say "look how much i do i'm so smart and talented".

I started off feeling pretty good. I was basically in the "yay I just finished summer and I want something to do" phase. But now that's worn off and the long days are getting to me. Most days are 8-9 hours with about an hour(Plus or minus an half an hour) worth of homework when I get home. One of the days is 14 hours where I wake up at 7, work, school, work, school, homework, school, get home at 10.

I'm just wondering how you guys deal with this. Do you eventually just get used to it? Or is there something you do on the weekends that really gets you refreshed for another week.

Each week's getting harder. The first time I had the 14 hour day I didn't think it was that bad. I actually kind of liked it. But now I completely dread it. I count the hours left constantly.

Basically, any advice for a freshmen getting used to the increased work load?
