Pre-med/medical students & skiing

[macaroniguy]

Any others out there premed or med students? If so, how do you guys deal with taking time off of skiing in order to get studies and extracurriculars done? I’m a senior and I’ve luckily been able to get studies done usually within the weekdays but sometimes I’m not able to get out. How do you not get depressed from not being able to strap on a pair of skis more often? Any advice is appreciated!!

Sounds crazy but you have to actually sit down sometime throughout the week and hammer out reading, homework, and studies. Unless you like cranking all nighters, popping adderall, and ruining your mental health, but ruined wellbeing goes without saying in college lol. Have fun.

Honestly you kids are gonna realize that you ski a fuck ton more than you realize and its not some "once every so often" kinda deal unless your a real go-getter and want to fuck some shit up in terms of academics and go big. Can't escape the hard work, so just get good at time management and telling your homies "No" when you have to study

Roommates sister graduated with a master's degree in 5 years and a 4.0 at the university I went to. Civil engineering. Doing that is extremely rare. Always saw her skiing or drunk. Couldn't wrap my head around it. Then I found out that she religiously showed up at campus at 7am and no matter what did not leave until 5.

Didn't matter if she only had one class that day. That just meant 9 hours of studying or doing homework for classes. In the library. Without socializing. After 5pm it was very rare to see her with a BAC below .08. But she could do whatever the fuck she wanted after 5 because she had been hammering shit out all day.

You can do that, but it means you actually have to be productive during those hours. I also had a friend that would spend 9 hours in the library, but 75% of that was spent on snap, insta, socializing, getting coffees and filling out his daily planner.
