Sacrifices

MrPain

What sort of sacrifices have you made so for in 6th year for the sake of your studies?
For me: I have not drank since the summer, except on the night of the the Debs, and to be honest I dont think I'll start up again, I like having loads of energy on weekend mornings:).
I've kept up going to the gym every second day, aswell as my weekly swim.

Sleeping in on the weekends.

Giving up stuff! Are you fecking serious? It's the Leaving Cert for God sake, you haven't just had a heart transplant or anything.

I've given up nothing, possibly had to work around things but not that much.

I'm drinking less when I go out, because I get awful hangovers and am completely useless the next day. I'm not doing as much this Easter (actually I'm doing nothing, just studying all day) because I have soooo much study to do. I've pretty much given up fresh air and sunlight

Waaahhh

Job, team sports, gym, .....the odd weekend out is about the only thing I've left!

To be fair, a lot of people really have to put the hours in to get the points they need, so often a LOT of sacrifices have to be made..

I've had to cut down a lot on sport. My fitness levels have gone through the floor.

I sacrificed bebo? Does that count?

Actually, I've sacrificed way too much. Not even just bebo (although that hurt)
- Going out every weekend and getting offmifaceboi
- Going to the gym has been sliced down to one night a week
- Having a life, in general.
- Everything else

And I still don't even do much :rolleyes:

Same, unfortunately still train 3 or 4 times a week, but usually so tired after school days i dont put in as much effort!
Overall, i havnt sacrificed that much, i still work all day every sunday, and still watch all my fave tv but cant wait till the leaving is over!

Personally, I find that the more sports and activites you do, the better able you are to study and cope with stress.

I'm taking up new sports at the moment! Takes one's mind off the exams which is the most important thing.

Had to give up work, and therefore can't go out nowhere near as much as I have no monies.
Gave up the gym aswell...although it is kind of a grey area since my membership ended before 6th year, but I gave it up because I knew I wouldnt have time to justify the expense. Still keeping (reasonably) healthy, probably not eating great but I still excercise 3/4 times a week, not for that long though!

Yeah I'm only managing to go around twice a week now. Most training sessions are before school and getting up so early is just too much now.
