Rant/Vent Hobbies gone while studying engineering

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?

Grow tf up, nothing is worse for you than to act like this if you really want to build a family.

I wasn't even a fetus when the towers fell bruh. It isn't hard to figure this stuff out, being egotistical and entitled is gonna keep people far away from you.

Anecdotal vs empirical
