Jerking off and pulling all nighters to study finance theory

Hey guys

I have been deeply interested in finance and IB since the last 6 months - so much that I got into a top 5 global mba admit and now watching online finance theory lessons to educate myself. I am working in tech currently btw and about to leave my company so all the free time in the world to do my side projects. This shit is really interesting and practical so I am really enjoying this.

The issue is I am loving finance to the point pulling all-nighters and jerking off to release steam. Am I started turning into a monkey? Is this how my life will be in IB. Fuck I stopped going to gym for the last 2 weeks and instead studying option pricing. I want to get into IB London office of GS. Lol.
