I'm a 2nd year CS undergrad and I cannot overstate how burned out I feel by the workload the semester gave me, without even touching on the total absence of any direction for some courses.
I need to preface that I have never been someone who liked school but if you want a job that's not waiting tables you gotta have one(eurofag). I sleep at least 7 hr a day , I go outside as much as the shit goverment would let me , i have a part time job and I take care of myself, yet every single school year since 1st year undergrad basically goes like this:
>start off hopeful , somewhat happy to be back in school
>teachers start becoming very demanding and tons of (not necessarily difficult but) time consuming topics (graph theory, Flask/SQLAlchemy off the top of my head) are introduced
>feel sleepy and detached all the time

it occurred to me the other day when I was super active in the morning and knocked back a couple of python problems(still a beginner in that) and the second the lesson started i felt like i hadn't slept in days. out of focus, dazed and hopelessly uninterested.


has anyone felt this way when in Uni? how did you cope with this?
