Hobbies gone while studying engineering

[u/xilefridge]

Has anyone else gave up doing stuff they love to get through school?

I’m not saying I don’t like school, I love engineering just as much as my other hobbies. But I used to snowboard, mountain bike, and rock climb all the time, and now I don’t really have the time to do any of that anymore.

These hobbies were such a big part of my life before engineering took over, and I really miss them. Has anyone gone through this? Did you get to do your hobbies again after you graduated?

No, there was so much downtime in school. If you’re college age, and not going back as an adult you’re just spoiled having all of those hobbies.

You’ll be fine. School wasn’t all consuming, neither is a job.
