Should I study or Play??

You education should take priority . . . but you should have down time too . . . to rest and relax . . . so you don't burn yourself out.\n\nI'd say . . . do both . . . but balance it out . . . giving priority to your education.

It depends on how much you practice, and how much you want to improve.\n\nprimarily have fun though! it will come easier if youre relaxed about it.

you need to quit cold turkey, friend. \n\nit's pretty bad if you can't even study. you're not going to get any real fulfillment out of your video games, so find a safe place to lock it up or tell someone you live with to hide it from you. maybe if you lay off you'll enjoy the real world and maybe even meet a girl...

That is a tough on.  You have just got to have will power.  Tell yourself that you can play all you want, guilt free, once you finish your homework.  I know that is easier said than done (I've been there and done that several times throughout my school career), but you just have to buckle down and do it.  Don't do that "I'll let myself play for 10 minutes, then work" bit, cause then you won't ever stop playing.  Just hide your games, and get them out of your sight, and when you are done with your work, go game.

Realize your limitations... in this case... you SUCK at studying. Get someone who doesn't suck to teach you.  Check out Sylvan Learning Center if there is one in your area... other other Tutoring services... you just need to completely immerse yourself in study... I get you can tell me all the names of all the members of the major bands getting radio play... you just have to care about what you're learning. The only way to do it is to "reprogram" yourself to think about what you're supposed to.

Next time don't wait till the last minute to study.  Learning is a process that can't be achieved over night.  You should be getting a good night sleep.

Encourage education and finishing college first.  Make it a deal, you can play music as long as your grades are maintained (whatever you decide that should be).  \n\nMy son played in a very popular local Seattle band. We fought him tooth and nail to finish college.  The band was on its way signed with a major record company, when the lead singer and his best friend died tragically.  I cannot tell you how happy his now that he earned his degree.\n\n Music is great and full filling, but very few make it as a career.

Studying will be much more effective with a proper, balanced diet and the right amount of sleep to begin with. You need to develope a routine and stick with it. Of course that might mean having to put a limit on your T.V. time or game time. You'll have to minimize the partying, and time on the phone. Just make a schedule for these things and give yourself the time to study as if it were a job. In fact, as long as your in school you should just have the mindset that it is your job. Once you're done, you'll have a much greater advantage in the workforce.

"DUDE! Pick those Stix up and learn to play" I friend of mine told that to her boyfriend to be a smart a**, she also said that if you think that you're too old to learn anything, then why go off to college? i agree with her, and this aplies here as well. get acquainted with the skins Boy, and start learnin!

Both... You have to balance it all. If you just focus on love, you may regret not studying later on in life when things will get tough. If you just focus on life(studies) then later you may feel lonely for not having that one person;). It's your decision. I say you should play it like an all rounder.

Although the music and art would SEEM easier, they are truly deep in study. I say go with film or child deveopment. If you take film, you will probably never see a movie in the same way again. IMO~ good luck!

Depends on your rhythm..some people just naturally have it...Playing with your favorite music is the best way to learn to play, lessons if you want in-depth theory, or to read music. Have FUN! P.S. For serious music like blues or jazz, Learn to 'walk' the bass line.
