How do y´all do it??

I´m studying Econ at a semi-target in my country, and the work-load+exams is/are killing me, and I´m not even getting great grades in most courses. How do students that study harder subjects (STEM etc) do it, and how do you guys get to have great GPA´s? Do you have any tips?

As an engineering student, it’s not about motivation, it’s discipline. I ducking hate engineering and I’m probably bottom bucket engineering major intelligence, but I have a 3.7 gpa cause i hate when people work harder than me. Not that difficult to NOT be lazy, and grind for a few years to live out your dreams. Also get into lifting, If you lift for at least an hour 6x a week school gets much easier/less stressful. Hope this helps

 

Completely agree. My senior year of HS and first month or two of college I lifted less than usual because I was fearful of it taking away from school/internship hunt/social life. Decided to make lifting a daily priority and it actually helped bring structure to my day so then I would actually focus on schoolwork more as I already had my workout for the day and told myself it was now time to grind.
