Thoughts on performance-enhancing drugs?
ErrantX: I used to have the same problems.I feel though that taking drugs to improve matters is only covering up more crucial factors that lead to this behaviour. Are you bored of the course (my problem).Are you at uni? or another level of education? At university I eventually realised the course is immaterial - I ignored most of my lectures and scraped through each year because of partying and socialising.I dont regret that and recommend it to everyone - do what's needed and come away with an ok degree. But dont sacrifice the MOST ipmportant part of higher ed (getting out there, meeting people, haveing a good time) just to get a slightly better grade.I also did an electrical engineering degree (this is a bit scary :o) and found my main problem was a disappointment in the course. There was a lot of content I didnt like (power electronics) despite being on an embedded systems course. Once I addressed that the degree improved but not majorly.I came out with a 2:1 [mostly due to a corker of a finals thesis which bumbed me up a lot] and certainly could have got a first - but not w/o a lot of work. I think the trade off was worth it threefold or more!In my case the issues are lot better now I am in the real world working - my job is what I really enjoy doing so I can focus on it. That helps a lot. I also took time to fight my willpower issues - they aint great but I am working on it bit by bit :)Fix any issues before you consider drugs - something is likely causing the problem (be they course related or not) and you just gotta nail that. :) good luck
