    Currently drowning in school work but I’m about to graduate so I’m just pushing myself through.

    Currently shopping for a new graphics card as a grad gift actually. I’m leaning toward something similar to the rx 7800xt which would be my first AMD card. It’s hard to argue with the numbers, especially since I don’t expect to be using ray tracing or DLSS for at least a couple years.

    Overall, struggling to stay motivated and very sleep deprived. It’s my fault though, I need to return to meditation

      you can do it! idk if you’re referring to HS or Uni, but i remember in Uni the senioritis hit me HARD in that last semester. I had just a few more essays than i had the motivation to finish. For at least one of them, I double-checked the syllabus and realized that the professor had not specified a font size or spacing, only a page count. You better BELIEVE I took my half-finished essay, drafted a conclusion, bumped up the font size to 14 double-spaced and turned it in.

        Haha I haven’t ever gone that far, I wish I could do that. I’m at university but I can’t let too much slip since I’m trying to head for grad school. Just have to muster the effort to finish the next 6-7 weeks till finals are here. But thanks for the motivation!

          Nice nice nice! I knew by that last semester that I did not want to go to grad school (at least not right away), so you’re definitely in a different headspace than i was. To be clear, I was usually an “A” student all the way through, but sometimes your motivation just leaves your body.
