Hey guys I am planning to do my 90 days of no gaming starting on the 1.1.2020 and I thougt it might be cool to find other people who would like to join! I feel like this would be a great start into the new year. I know some people arent big on new years resolutions but so far it worked out for me quite often. For me this also fits well because my study period for the exams will start in mid january. Lets do this together!

Today was an interesting day. In my 10 o clock lecture I was really focused and motivated. When I later started working on my deep learning exercise with my friend all my motivation was gone. I kind of used the fact that this is the last week before the holidays as an excuse to slack off. I think it was also because the exercise was very difficult and even after a couple of hours we didnt get anywhere. Later we met at a friends place for some drinks and played smash bros and mario cart together. It was a really funny evening. On my way home I realised that my gaming addiction actually goes back way further than I thougt. I always thougt it started at like 10 or 11 years old when I played age of empires 2 but it actually started at 6 when I got my first gameboy with pokemon. I was basically addicted as soon as I started playing. Of course I was only allowed to play like 2 hours a day or something but I very soon found was to cheat this. I remember I always pretended to study while actually hiding the gameboy under the book. Its actually scary how long gaming has been such a big part of my life. I also checked the hours I spend on steam which were 4000 in the last 6 years which is probably not even half of what I have played in my life since I have been gaming about 19 years now. This is indeed depressing but also motivating because it makes me wonder what my life could be without gaming at all for a long period of time.

Today was kind of nice. I went to uni 2 hours later than usual but again its the last week of this year so I am kind of fine. I was quite sore because of yesterdays workout. This made me quite happy and I am feeling very motivated for working out at the moment :). I am also really looking forward to this 90 day of no gaming thing. I feel like this will be a perfect start into the new year. I was thinking about the past year a little more and I just realised that this was the year I quite masturbating! I completely forgot but this was actually something I was trying to do for years. I can proudly say I didnt fap for 258 days now. Its so easy to forget major achievements and just focus on the bad stuff or the stuff that is not right. But one should always remember the big victories. This was also the year were I wrote my best exams so far. But there are always some areas where you can improve. And I will do that ! I also didnt game today. Mostly because I didnt have time to do so. The rest of the week is also gonna be quite full with stuff so I might not game much in general

So yesteray i forgot to post but I am in kind of a weird state right now. I have no motivation for uni whatsoever mostly because its the last week of uni this year and I just want christmas holidays so I can kind of gather and recollect myself. I basically gamed all day but I went to the gym in the evening which is huge win for me right now because the fitness part is the one im struggling most to get under control again. I started listening to the game quitters podcast and I really like it. Already finished 2 episodes and gonna keep listening on my way to uni later. The podcast kind of gave me an idea on how to proceed. Im just gonna let it all slide for this week and then I am gonna be at my parents house for about a week so I cant game anyways. On the 31.12. the warcraft 3 reforged campaign will be out and I will allow myself two days , probably the 2.1 and the 3.1 to binge play through the campaign. After that I will start the 90 days reboot and not touch a game till march. And there will be no excuses. Not a single game will be touched. About what I want to change: I dont like how undisciplined I have become

Today was also pretty cool, I spent the entire day with my girlfriend and it was really nice. I also had to deal with quite a bit of neck pain because I gamed so much in the last 3 days and didnt do any sports. I feel like I will make a big change in my life again and the new year is a good place to start. I think I will write down some stuff that I dont like in the next two weeks and then make a list of changed before the 31. So why not start now: I dont like how physically lazy I have become I dont like how physically unfit I have become I dont like how unhealthy I am eating right now and how much money I spend on food

So today and yesterday were kind of nice but also horrible. I had a fun evening yesterday at a friends birthday but I played games all day before that. And today I went to uni and everything was great but as soon as I was home I again played games for the rest of the day and also skipped going to the gym. But again its about an online game. The one or two weeks I spent playing singleplayer games were really fine. But it seems like I just cant handle online games. Im about to make some decisions I guess. Its obvious that there is no way I can play online games again. Online games are something I apparently have no control over. They pull me in like a kraken everytime. I mean just going back through some of my posts makes it obvious. They are my biggest weakness. But I am also not sure about gaming in general. I think eventually its something I will have to give up at some point wont I? So my plan for now will be to not game until the holidays. So I can be productive for another week. Then I will be at my parents place anyway where I cant game. Thing is on the 31.12.2019 the warcraft 3 reforged full version will appear and I really want to play the campaign and I think I will allow myself 2 days in the holidays where I will just binge game. After that Im gonna uninstall it and not touch a game again till after my excams in march. The week was kind of nice though, I only went to the gym twice but thats still much better than not at all and I completed my stair taking challenge which I will keep up !

Oh I forgot to post again yesterday. So today and yesterday were both really great. Uni is going well, my relationship is fulfilling and I have managed to workout twice this week. I am also still doing my stair taking challenge! Yesterday night I gamed for like 2 hours though because I realised I have a warcraft 3 reforged beta key and I was very excited for this game so I couldnt resist to play for a while. But i still feel very much in control and today I only gamed for like an hour. Today I also realised that its just gonna be 2 more weeks until christmas which means 3 more weeks till the new year and I kind of felt like this year was odd in a way. Mostly because the first 6 months of this year might have been one of the best times in my life while the second half was kind of shitty. I mean its going well right now but august, october and september were pretty bad. I will definitely spend some time in the next couple of weeks looking at the year 2019 , how it went for me and what I learned from it and how I want my 2020 to be like. I know this categorisation in years is very arbitrary but I just kind of like putting stuff into perspective and I like the year cycle because it contains 2 semesters and all 4 seasons hehe.

@Silent3d Yeah I think planning in leisure time stuff is a good idea I have been doing this for the past two weeks and it has been quite nice. Especially because time that is unassigned is most dangerous when it comes to gaming. @masquerade I am glad that you see my point. I realised in the last few weeks though that its important that self improvement comes from a healthy place because only then it can be healthy and fulfilling. If you hate yourself and want to change so you are different and put a lot of stress on it it can be quite draining. A good place to be in would be to be happy about who you are and to love yourself while still wanting more out of life. I think the key is to enjoy the process of self improvement and not to think of it as some state that you have to achieve to become happy.

Today was pretty good, but I was very tired the entire day, because I slept kind of bad. But it was still a good day. I didnt game, managed to do quite some uni stuff and spent a nice evening with my girlfriend. I really hope I am gonna get back some sleep tonight so I have the energy for uni and a workout tomorrow! I stood by my challenge and only took the stairs today. I actually cant wait to go back to the gym tomorrow I am really hyped at the moment. I really want to get fit and buff again!

Today was awesome ! First I want to talk about the party yesterday though. I felt really bad before the party because I had quite some neck pain and I felt super exhausted. I was not up for party at all. But who would have guessed I had so much fun and felt amazing ! After 1 or 2 drinks and a bit of conversation I felt amazing. I didnt even get drunk I just had some beers and really enjoyed myself. I couldnt feel my neck the entire time and I also wasnt exhausted anymore. This got me thinking a little. I believe that focusing on pain or aches is a very bad habit because you will always find something that is not feeling perfectly well. Especially once you get older I guess. I mean I am 25 now and I did sport all my life and I have neck and backpain sometimes. But its not a big deal, if its not severe or persistent I think pains should best be ignored. So about today. I woke up with no hangover and felt amazing. I cleaned my room and studied basically the whole day, then went to the gym and had a great workout. After had dinner and planned my week and now I am here. This was a cool weekend and a great sunday. I feel really good and I cant wait for this week to start! My challenge for this week will be: Always take the stairs! I have some courses at uni at the 5. floor and I usually take the elevator but this week I will take the stairs everytime! Have a great week everyone! Oh and I gamed for like an hour on saturday and not at all today !

I again forgot to post yesteray so I will do it now. Yesterday was pretty good, I felt much better, still had some neck pain and didnt feel super well but good enough ? . I got quite some stuff for my research job done and worked at it till like 18:30 which is nice because I told myself I could game at 18 but instead I showered and cooked and ate and then my girlfriend came and I didnt game at all which was big win. I realised that I have a bit of a bad mindset towards working and gaming and stuff. I always tell myself that my uni stuff is something I have to do, same as for my workouts. The gaming I see as something I get to do. Kind of a reward of some sort. I think this mindset might be a reason for why gaming is so appealing. Because I make it appealing. I also had a nice talk with my girlfriend last night it was really cool. Today I am gonna have lunch with my dad. I am really looking forward to that. Later tonight my roommate will celebrate his birthday and some of his friends coming over. I am not really up for party to be honest but lets see how it goes.

Hey thats good stuff! I read James Clears book atomic habits and it is really amazing! How do you think you are supposed to apply this identity shift? Is it something you actively do or does it happen over time? Should I write down stuff like " I am a hard worker , I am a fitness freak " or how would you tackle it?

So I didnt manage to post yesterday mostly because I really didnt feel like it. I went to the doctor yesterday morning and its nothing serious with my back, I just have to stop lifting weights and martial arts for 6 weeks. I can do bodyweight stuff instead though and he told me to do a lot of planck variations for my core which will help with the back. Yesterday noon I started to feel pretty bad, I dont know why but I felt like I am getting sick and it really depressed me. I felt bad physically and emotionally and I installed dota again, because its what I always do when I dont feel good. When I dont feel good, I play dota because it makes time fly and I dont "have to be sick". If I lay in bed and read I will feel much more than when I just play dota till I am healthy again. I also stayed awake long because I didnt want to bed because I didnt feel tired enough. Today I also felt quite bad. Not sick but really done, physically and mentaly. At first I thougt I catched the cold my girlfriend had but I am not sure anymore. I mostly have headache and intense neck pain. I did some exercises and stretches today which helped a little but I still feel quite bad. I didnt do any uni stuff today because I just didnt feel like it at all. I really hope I am gonna be fine tomorrow because I have quite some stuff to do which I havent done yet. This whole thing just showed me again how I completely lost my healthy habits this summer. From january till june I worked out atleast 3 times a week and ate really healthy and felt amazing. In the last couple of months I hardly worked out and I ate rather bad stuff. I ate lots of sweets and sugary stuff in general. I harly move anymore. I just sit on my desk doing uni stuff or gaming all day. I talked about this with my girlfriend the other day and for her its kind of the same. So we want to establish some healthy and good habits together and we will spend the rest of december figuring out what exactly we want to do and how to do it. I mean its healthy eating and working out regurlarly but the question is how we will do it. So because I felt like shit today and yesterday my 4 workout challenge this week is canceled. I did exactly one workout on monday. But yeah well what can you do. I still think I really need to learn to deal with not feeling good better but I just dont know how. I am so bad with not feeling good that I immediately feel depressed when I have a slight notion of getting sick or have neck pain or something. Maybe I will just have to wait till I feel like shit again and do absolutely nothing like netflix or gaming then. Force myself to take a walk or read or do uni stuff. Sometimes I am asking myself if I feel bad so often because my body thinks thats the way it gets to slack off. Like a dog that knows it will get a treat when its sick so it just gets sick more often because it wants the treat.

Today was also great ! I worked a little more on my PGM sheet and handed it in on time. It wasnt perfect but pretty good. And I also went to my two courses. Taking the bus is really annoying me though I really hope that my bike will be fixed soon. I am so much more awake and fit when I take my bike to uni than being a zombie in the bus. I didnt workout today but I also didnt plan to. I had a lovely evening with my girlfriend and I was very happy today. Because everything went well today I dont really have that much to say. I feel like the better I feel the shorter my posts become somehow ?

Today was pretty awesome. I arrived at uni at 10 and stayed till about 18 then I went home took a little break and did like another hour of uni stuff. After that I did an intense workout. I really kicked todays ass! I felt pretty good all along even though I am still not too happy that I still dont have my bike but its fine. I cant wait for tomorrow so I can continue working on my PGM exercise sheet. I am also excited for my nuclear and particle physics lecture. Right now I feel really good. Proud and calm. I also didnt game today, I think I will play like half an hour now before I go to bed. Still staying off the MOBAs though. So I already worked out once which means I have to work out 3 times more this week! But now I am gonna plan my day tomorrow a little. Have a great week everyone!

Yeah the dopamine hits I know what you mean... Did you actually manage to quit MOBAs or gaming in general for good? If so, do you have any advice ? Especially on the moba stuff. I didnt manage to post yesterday because I came home quite late. Yesterday was kind of good day even though I struggled with uni stuff. I woke up too late because I stayed up quite long on friday playing dota hehe. Thats why I uninstalled it afterwards. I really dont like staying up late I feel like I am way more motivated and productive in the morning. I think waking up at 8 and going to bed at like 23:30 is my favorite way of doing it. Yesterday I only gamed for about 1 hour and it was not dota. But even though I didnt game that much I was thinking about gaming quite a bit during the day. Like I have to go through all the uni stuff to "earn" to game later. So the day was kind of overshadowed by gaming in a way. Today I didnt game at all. I spent the whole day with my girlfriend and it was kind of nice. Not as relaxing as I planned it but still good. I really wanted to clean my room though because it looks horrible but I guess I will just have to do that tomorrow. Today I also had a bit of a bad experience with one of my uni courses because I tried to read a text and I didnt understand anything and it really made me feel bad. I am not sure what to do about this course at the moment. I find it interesting but I feel like I am missing so much prior knowledge and its the hardest course I ever took and I really dont know what to do about it. I really have to figure this out in the near future. After this post I will plan my following week. I cant wait for my doctors appointment on wednesday. My challenge for this week is to do sport 4 times. No matter if its martial arts, going to the gym, doing a home workout or going for a run!! This week I will also try to only play singleplayer games if I play at all. And at the end of the week I will decide on how to procede. Like if I want to quit it for good or still continue with the singleplayer stuff.

Very nice post ! Have you also struggled with the idea of "deserving to slack off" ? After a solid amount of work (not nearly an awesome amount) I often feel like I now deserve to game or binge netflix or whatever just because I did the minimum. I really admire people that work late into the night on something instead of saying "oh its past 7 I did enough I better watch 2 hours of netflix now or game for 3 hours because I earned it" I also feel like that this is a sign of bad values. Like how you said : Work is something you have to do while gaming is something you get to do. I feel like this mindset is toxic in a way because it binds you to a mediocre fate. Because if you always do the bare minimum you will probably do fine, you will get a job, you can have a nice life but you will leave nothing behind as you put it, but you will never have a great life. Because you never did great stuff. While you decided its ok to game now for 8 hours because its saturday, someone else is kicking ass instead. But there again you also need breaks and do other stuff than just work. How do you balance it ?

I know how you feel bro. I have the same problem at the moment. I am trying to figure out if its a certain type of game or if it is gaming all together or if I just had a stressful time and needed a relief. I think the best thing is to do something called "elimination diet" its usually supposed to help you find out food allergies but I also think its the best way to figure out what the exact problem is. If you feel like its just one game try quitting only that game for a week or two and see how you feel. If that doesnt improve it try cutting out all games for 1 month and make a journal where you write down how you feel everyday. After the month revisit the journal and you will see how you felt. Its very possible that gaming is the issue but its also possible that gaming is just a manifestation of another problem. Maybe you are scared of taking the next step in your career? Maybe you need some inspiration ? Maybe you should try to go at music from a different angle? Maybe your relationship isnt that fulfilling anymore? But always remember no one is always motivated. Even if music is your life its normal to have some periods of time where you dont feel like doing it that much. Its ok it will pass! But either way I wish you good luck with quitting gaming ?

Ah nice to see someone struggling with the same kind of games ? To be honest I am not quite sure. I think what I like so much about those games like dota and league is that they are very rewarding and very fast. Its kind of like watching a show on netflix. Its short, it doesnt involve a lot of commitment and its fast. If you compare it to games like the witcher 3 its completely different. The witcher is a very emotional game that involves rather slow progress and just doesnt give you those quick bursts of good feels like when you do a triple kill in dota. Its more like watching lord of the rings I guess. But I always struggled with those competetive online games. I was never having trouble with singleplayer games as much. Yesterday especially I reinstalled it because I kind of just wanted to game something where I can also do some other stuff while doing it, you know listen to music, tab out when I am dead. I think I didnt really want to game that much in the first place and whenever thats the case I just kind of start dota out of habit. It is kind of my go to activity when bored. I would never play any other game if I wouldnt really want to play it. Dota I kind of play by default. What about you ?

Today was a bit weird. On my way to uni my bike tire broke which resulted in me being too late to my group meeting which wasnt a big deal. Because there was some other stuff wrong with my bike for quite a bit I decided to just bring it to the nearest bike repair place and they said I will have it back on tuesday or wednesday next week which definitely bothers me. Because it means I will have to take the bus till then and I hate taking the bus soooo much. It stinks its full its always late and I have to leave the house much earlier. But well what can you do. I also bought myself a new phone today and I am very happy with it because my old one was broken. It was kind of a productive way because I took care of the phone thing , the bike thing and went to uni but I didnt really do much uni stuff. But its fine. I did do one thing that makes me a little sad. I installed dota again and played it for like 2 hours. Which isnt much but it bothers a lot that I installed it again in the first place. Because just last night I posted that I will not play competetive games anymore. And I want to stay by that . So I uninstalled it again and this time its gonna stay uninstalled ! I didnt go to the gym because of the bike incident but I went for a run instead which is still a good thing. Took me quite a bit of self talk to do it but its fine. Its kind of funny how I dont have a problem going to the gym 3 times a week and to martial arts class 2 times a week but when I am injured like with my back at the moment I need like all my motivation to go for a run or go to the gym. Its like I lose all my motivation as soon as the conditions arent perfect. And that is something that I have to change. If I will only workout when I am feeling great over all I will never get strong and fit. Because there is always gonna be something. Something that hurts, something that doesnt feel right or whatever. So tomorrow noon I will go to the gym !! And tomorrow I will also read all my texts for PGM and start coding already. I will also keep doing my foam rolling which I also managed to do today !

Today had some ups and downs. First of all I slept 1 hour longer and ditched my first lecture. I think it was kind of because I was lazy and also because it rained and I would have to take the bus to uni and I really hate taking the bus. But its also because on thursday I only have 1 lecture which lasts 1 hour and it takes me like 30 minutes to uni so I really dont think its worth it sometimes. I was still highly productive though and managed to write a programm that I failed once before. This made me very happy and I also enjoyed coding it. After that I did lik an hour for my research job. Then I played dota 2 for like 3 hours which is basically fine but I also skipped training. I mainly skipped it because I could feel my back hurting again and at the moment I am just too scared about it. I just want to have this doctors appointment next wednesday to finally know what I am dealing with. I realised though that my back was much better while I did my daily foam rolling. So I am gonna start doing this again! I think I also skipped training because I am not being very good with feeling uncomfortable at the moment. I am struggling to get out of my comfortzone for some reason. This was never that much of a thing for me but since a couple of weeks, basically the start of winter / mid autumn I ve gotten quite comfortable. I have to find a way to make myself enjoy uncomfortableness a bit more. I am already doing cold showers every day. I think I will start doing ice baths once a week now to deal better with the cold and on home days I will make sure to take a 30 minute walk. I also decided to not play competetive games anymore. Mostly because I feel like they are way more addictive than other games and also because you cant just stop playing. If some singleplayer game starts to make me mad I would just stop playing but when you play dota and have like a really bad match with toxic teammates you are kind of stuck until the game is over. And I think over the long term this brings me a bit of misery that I dont need. So I uninstalled dota today and from now on I will stop playing competetive games. For tomorrow I have quite some plans: Be at uni at 10 after my last course which ends at 14:00 I will work on my Hiwi Job for 4 hours. I will also go to the gym tomorrow night, even if I have backpain !! And I will also do foam rolling exercises for my back.

Sadly I didnt manage to post yesterday, because it was my roommates birthday and we stayed up quite late. Yesterday was definitely awesome, I worked hard at uni and got quite some stuff done. I didnt go to the gym though because of my roommates birthday. I wanted to go to day instead but I didnt either. So yesterday evening I smoked some weed with my roommate. I didnt really smoke any weed in over year because the last time I had a rather bad experience. This time it was alright. Not really super fun but ok I guess. But today I was just so done from it, my brain was hardly working and I felt like I had the discipline of a 5 year old. I got my bare minimum of uni stuff done and the rest of the day I basically did nothing. I gamed a little bit here and there but not because I wanted to but because I felt like this would make the day go by faster. I think I am really done with weed. It just doesnt really give me anything anymore. I am honestly much happier when I plan my days , be productive , do sports and spend time with my girlfriend. This is what makes me happy. Drinking, gaming , smoking pot all that stuff just doesnt do much for me anymore. I still dont want to say I will never do it again because I believe this is the wrong approach and I never know what happens in 10 years but I really dont want weed in my life anymore. I enjoy a clear mind so much more. I also cant wait for my doctors appointment next wednesday. I really just want to do sports 4-5 times a week again without having to be scared about my back and feeling pain or whatever. This is really having a bit of an impact on my life lately. Uni is going pretty great though at the moment. Cant wait for tomorrow !

Today was pretty great actually. I was happy throughout and even though I didnt really meet my daily goals I still feel like this day was a win. I didnt fully understand conditional random fields but me and my buddy worked through a tutorial and are definitely on our way to solve the exercise sheet. I think we might well be able to finish it tomorrow. I didnt go to training and I didnt foam roll either because my girlfriend came over. I still could have done it but I simply forgot to foam roll and now it will just wake me up. I also didnt meet with my professor because there wasnt really time and I was also not sure what to meet about. But I did make notes in the lectures and I feel like I understood a lot more than usual. And I had like some stuff that I wanted to do this morning that never happened because I just watched anime for like 2 hours instead but its fine. The fact that my friend and I managed to do something on the exercise sheet this time and that we actually might be able to solve it this time gave me quite an energy boost, because we both thougt that the exercise sheet for this week will be a tragedy. I also realised that we didnt even pass the half of the semester mark yet. This gives me hope, that I can actually catch up and do it. My confidence is rising and so is my motivation. For tomorrow my goals are : -Go to gym at 8 -finish the sheet with my friend tim and have a nice plot in the end aswell -make notes in the eis übung , make sure you really understand everything and ask questions -stay at uni till 7 , when the cafeteria closes. I am excited for tomorrow ! I also didnt game today ?

Today was a really good day. I spent the morning with my girlfriend and it was really nice. She left soon after breakfast and I instantly started studying. I studied quite a lot and was very productive, I met about 80% of what I wanted to achieve today which is pretty good. And so far I didnt game. Right now I am feeling very motivated towards studying because I finally believe in myself again. Which is mostly because of the fact that the lab course is over and I finally have the time I need for my other courses. But I realised something important. So far I always planned my studies like that I would write down what I was gonna do tomorrow. But I found an error in the way I wrote done what I had to do and how to do it. A typical study to do list would look like the following: -Do exercise 2 , 3 and 4 from the exercise sheet -go through chapter 12 , 13 and 14. -go through the lecture notes and make a summary The error I see in this is that it doesnt help me to actually understand concepts and doesnt specify how to do those things. This often made me go through a chapter in a way that I didnt really remember or understand much afterwards. Because I would just go through it once and not make notes and not consult additional material because understanding was never really a specified goal. The same applies to the exercises. Doing an exercise doesnt neccessarily mean understand it. Sometimes I would just follow a tutorial online. This gets the exercise done but it doesnt guarantee that I can repeat it or really know what and why I am doing it. So my challenge for this week and my new way of approaching studying will be to focus on understanding and learning instead. My daily goals will look like this from now on : - Do exercise xy and understand the concept fully, make a blueprint for exercises of this type - Read the chapter about xy and consult additional material until you fully understand xy , explain it to your dad or girlfriend to check if you really got it - Go through the lecture again and look up everything you dont know and summarize things in your own words (dont just copy them) I will post every evening what my goals for the next day are and if I achieved the ones from today. For monday my goals are the following: - Attend both lectures and write down everything the professor says or has on its slides that you dont know, so you can look it up. - Fully understand Conditional random fields and write a pseudocode for the exercise in the sheet. - Meet with my professor and discuss how to procede with my research for the next week. - If my backpain is gone , go to training , if not do a foam rolling session

I can see your point but I think its not that simple. One has to identify the reasons for why he games and then can adjust his life accordingly. I think the biggest difference between gaming and other addictions is that gaming is not a substance addiction so moderation can definitely be achieved . And for me it was never that bad that I would play like 16 hours when I had stuff to do. Gaming was always my escape when I was too stressed and it is my go to activity when I am bored. But gaming also gave me a lot and I cant really just throw that away. And one thing that always made stuff easier for me is that I am very honest with myself. If I feel like its getting out of control again I would be the first to forbid myself to game. I also think gaming is something that I will grow out of eventually when I have kids or something. In the lest 15 years I gamed less and less. You cant even compare how much I gamed this year to when I was 15. When I was 15 I would spend every free minute gaming. And the last year I gamed quite a bit in the holidays but during the semester I am usually not gaming more than 1 or 2 hours a day. But today itself was really nice. I spent about 2 hours gaming and it was fun, after that I spent the whole day with my girlfriend and I was able to really chill out. Having one uni free day a week is definitely a great idea. I will keep this up for the rest of the semester. But from now on I will hit it really hard. Now that my lab courses are gone I feel like I can actually destroy this semester and I will ! This week I sadly forgot to put up a challenge for myself but I will think of something till tomorrow night for the following week!
