/sci/ I am feeling depressed and I was wondering if any of you have felt the same way during your studies.
I am an undergraduate engineering and physics student. My first year in school I partied and had a good time but only got around 2.8 GPA. First semester 2.3 second semester above 3. This year I have been really focused up to get a job working for the Navy when I graduate, but I am slowly feeling more and more sad.
My studies are hard for me, I am not the smartest so I need to work hard. Overall it seems my life is going well. I am doing research in my own lab space, I have two papers that will probably be published within a year. I got a job doing algorithmic trading.
I still feel unhappy. I see all my friend studying liberal arts or engineering at easier schools and they party and maintain 3.5+ GPAs. Ones with less classes than me can study abroad and take cool courses were you go to museums and have fun. When I talk to people about my research they don't care and just comment on how much money I must make doing algorithmic trading work. I make a lot but it all goes to pay for my expensive ass school tuition. I see none of the money I make, the only thing I have purchased in over two years other than groceries is a watch. I only bought that to use my phone less so I could study more.
What the fuck am I even doing all this for?
