How can I become a more accomplished person in life if I feel behind other people? I want to start doing more things and feeling more energetic?

[WhiteBoyChill]

So here’s the thing.

I know plenty of people in college who are doing far better than I am.

They’ve got jobs on the side, they’re going to the gym, they’re learning to speak foreign languages.

Yet here I am. Doing absolutely none of that. I’m not exercising, I’m not working and I’m constantly stressed out and tired just trying to get through school.

I’m just really not where I need to be in life. I am an Engineering major and its hard work but so is all the other shit my friends have to do and yet they’re still accomplishing more and handling things a lot better.

So how the hell do I get ahead?

What the hell am I doing wrong?

I mean if there’s something I’m doing wrong just tell me because I am just seriously not content with my life right now. It feels like absolute shit.

I’m just constantly working and barely scrapping by. I hardly ever get any time for personal enjoyment and I can’t even muster the energy for all these different things my friends are doing because I always feel too burnt out.

You are not organized which is rare for Engineers. Spreadsheet times by hour blocks on 6am-6:15 get up. 6:15-7:15 breakfast shower. 8am class. Gym snd job done same way too.

every hour is accounted for with Study, date, university practice, research assistant job hours, gym, food shopping. It takes 30 minutes a day ahead set up that calendar.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I’m just really not a disciplined person like that though. I can’t commit to a schedule unless there’s a penalty for deviating from it

[Guy13]

Man-up or stop whining. It will not get you anywhere with women, graduate professors, employer, or whomever you are playing lazy victim too. It is remarkably simple. There’s no way you could lead a woman or company at any level if you can’t manage your basics. Your life is too cushy in my view 🤷🏻‍♂️

[WhiteBoyChill]

If only getting my life in order were a simple task. Far as I’m concerned just meeting the mark is all I can ever expect to do in life. I’ll never be anybody incredible

[Guy13]

Then you must be Organized and in my mind as Employer and “guy”.. NOTHING more admirable than a Mark hitter. It shows at Christmas party with woman on arm selling her man as Business asset. It’s always the Mark hitters with the children and soft spouse eyes and respect. I can not think of a better life than one who strives to be a Mark hitter in gentleness.-LEADERS and often not large snd annoying.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I suppose even just setting my alarm for the same time every day could be a start.

Baby steps for now I guess could work

[Guy13]

There you go. Focus. you are in a great circumstance and position with Engineering degree.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Thanks man! I was talking to some other people about this and they said it absolutely fcking sucks in the beginning but once you get used to it, it becomes better

[Guy13]

Graduate School is the same way. Organized. It’s irritating as hell that it takes Time to get organized so that I can be organized BUT it is life.
It’s sounds like you have good support. After first month of Scheduling by hour it becomes much easier….

[WhiteBoyChill]

Yeah man. In the short term I guess I’m gonna have to make everything harder on myself so it can get better.

[NerdInDenial]

Stop comparing yourself with others. Go to the gym. if your goal is to become an engineer, just focus on that. Life is not a sprint but a marathon.

[JoyGirl]

Time management, and realizing what to take on, as well as what not to take on.

[Googlemyahoo]

1. Stop comparing yourself to others

2. Live your own life

3. Focus on what actually can be done not what you think you need to do

[WhiteBoyChill]

It just really gets in my head that others are capable of doing more

[Googlemyahoo]

Different circumstances. Not everyone has the same opportunity or assistance.

[OddBeMe]

Who the hell wants to scale a mountain? I just want to sleep in…

[WhiteBoyChill]

Exactly what I’d been thinking lol

[OddBeMe]

Bourbon and edibles keep me horizontal.

As @guy13 says time to man up & get organized quit whining no excuses be a MAN.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Do you have a particular routine that works for you? Open to ideas

[Fuentes]

Maybe you should get your testosterone checked if you find your self always sleepy and tired at such a young age & maybe get a vitamin b12 supplement to help combat with energy. Also watch what your eating, it could contain a lot of estrogen or something.

Because you should be able to do what everyone else is doing, without feeling burnt out this early.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I mean to be fair I am an Engineering student but either way in terms of health and shit, still isn’t good to be feeling tired all the time.

But I’d be curious what foods might have estrogen?

[Fuentes]

You shold look up the foods you're eating and see lol

[WhiteBoyChill]

I don't know. I think I’m just going to start making lifestyle changes first to see if I start to feel better
