Oh, here's another aspect on what I was commenting about. Courses and grades.
In my uni some people would babble about how caring about grades is ridiculous, that they should be seen as almost irrelevant etc (some of them were good students, they had ideological inclinations to think that way). I also lowkey despised the dick-measuring contests etc, but I did care about grades, a lot. Because they are external confirmation (though obviously quite imperfect) on how well I'm doing. It's an evaluation from someone else, a professional paid to do that. This was also a way of measuring how wrong my demon usually was, in the vast majority of times he'd bet on lower grades. But also because of him I worried, studied harder and got better. How did you view grades?
>There is a risk of burning out if you keep going like that when coursework is replaced with independent work
Did you adopt different habits to get more balance?
>No problem! I can't promise you a bright future, but I can tell you that you will do fine during your studies if someone like me can
I would conjecture the converse at most haha
What matters now is that I'm doing it regardless, and I have work to do. I have to deliver. I must. It's now or never!
