I worked, watched dramas, and went to school and made a 3.8 fall semester.

It went down a bit last semester, because I gave up on one of my classes. Laugh

I watch dramas in the morning while eating, head off to school, and studied mostly on weekends. I stopped watching certain things (like Prince of Tennis, Detective Conan, and any new dramas) between ... April 1st and May 7th I think.

i certainly dont think watching dramas can hurt ur gades. as long as u know how to manage ur time wisely, u shouldn't have a problem. I'm a sophomore in high school, currently watching a lot of dramas, my grades arn't that good, but 4.3wgpa, 25 out of class of 950 is decent. my friend though, she is just amazing. i dont know how she does it. she watches more dramas than me, took 7 APS this past school year, 4.6wgpa, #2 out of 900, she got 2350 on SATs and is going to Princeton. Some people are just extremely talented at school/studying i guess.

Dramas gave me a better attitude towards studying with their leet Asian work ethic. ;P

i've been thinking about this... dramas are so addictve that i sometimes get worried that they may affect my concentration on revision for my exams that start in a couple of weeks, but i just try and keep it in mind that exams will only last a few weeks and i try and watch dramas as a sort of treat for myself after an exciting revision session, which is a pretty useful incentive (i find) because i'm really lazy when it comes to college work anyway but if i know that i'll get some sort of reward for doing it (and obviously the peace of mind in knowing that i'll be better prepared for the exams) then i'm more motivated to work.

I try to save any watching for when I have free time (which is to say, no homework) or during the weekend. =3 But I don't get the best grades to begin with, so heh, it doesn't really matter. pinch

hmm...whenever i want to watch drama i tell myself that midterms are coming up or finals and if i wait a few weeks than i can watch drama without worrying about my grades. Crying

However, it never works out that way I still end up watching drama Big Smile

my grades are just average but you can't study all the time so watching drama is like somewhat a relaxing thing to do when you're stress out thumleft

I'm currently in college going towards a Business diploma. When I started back in Feb of this year, I hadn't watched any dramas but was addicted to anime. Since then, I have pretty much given up on anime and started watching dramas full force.

I'm currently getting good grades but I find that being addicted to dramas is hurting my concentration. However, I also believe this to be because I find no interest and no challenge in anything I'm doing in class. Who wouldn't find it hard concentrating when you find yourself bored to death all the time?

I haven't had much of a social life lately, either, so I find a lot of extra time to watch dramas. I don't do homework at home, though. Sometimes I care, other times I don't. My problem is I'm so confused about my life, I don't focus. I thought a business diploma was what I wanted after already going to college and finding that diploma (multimedia) to be useless. Life's no easy and as long as I'm confused, I'll get distracted and throw myself into drama-land.

Does anyone else feel this way? If you were on the path to knowing what you want and really want to get it, wouldn't you be able to focus or balance life and dramas? ^^

Oh geez.
I feel like a failure now -_-*

I'm a lazy, unmotivated, and undetermined person as it is, but I try to pass my classes to at least keep my parents from nagging at me. I've been called "Wasted Potential" from teachers before and I scrape by with Cs, yet these same teachers always throw me back into AP/Honors courses -_-*

But I have to admit, with a lack of general inegrity and motivation as it is, it has become even harder for me to keep up on academics, much less care for them.

I try not to start new dramas around midterms and finals. Otherwise I will do poorly on the tests.
I'm bad at the balence between school and fun.

it is possible. but really need to manage time well. what i do is i decide early that i'm only going to follow certain series during school year. so basically each week i watched like 2-3 hours of drama. and then watched a lot of drama in the break. i don't go out that much so usually friday afternoon is the best day to watch drama.

There's no challenge for me in school. It's just the same lesson plans over and over again. I got a 2.0 this past year.
