Fellow university student here, with a £49,000+ degree I should be focusing more on than I am currently…
What subject are you doing? Mine is psychology
I started WaniKani when I had loads of free time (compared to now). Now, I’m in my final year, I have a dissertation to complete (5,000 words), two essays (totalling 7,000), lectures to attend, studying, data collection to undertake (for my dissertation project), a part-time job throwing 10-hour shifts at me, AND the normal life needs like eating, sleeping and showering.
There’s not enough time and energy. I really feel you
These months I’ve been switching vacation mode on and off multiple times simply because I’m always so mentally exhausted and I can’t seem to get into the rhythm I had last year (I used to level-up regularly every 12 days, but now I haven’t levelled up for the past 4 months…).
It’s hell and I feel like a failure, but overworking myself is not the answer I’ll probably get back into it after I finish (around end of April,?).
In the meantime, as others have mentioned, I try to do small things like listening to songs or reading a couple of pages of a manga, etc…
Like you also said, I believe that some of those people that speed-run or ‘flex’ about how fast they are, simply have too much time on their hands. No normal adult would be like that
Sigh, and yet again I despair that I didn’t find WaniKani when I was younger. I’d be finished by now
