To most people it's going to seem like you're speedrunning life when in reality this is just how it's supposed to work. Look at retards like
>>81679335 who crab-in-the-bucket shame people out of pursuing literally any form of labor.
Yeah it's not cool to live & breathe work and school during your formative years, but they're your formative years. They are building you into the person you will be for the rest of your life. You need to brainwash yourself into acting like SpongeBob, waking up every day to tackle challenges.
The alternative is just rotting here. I can hang around for any follow up questions, but yeah. Live like a monk for four years and forge the life you want to build.
