I’m a CA student, and I don’t think people realize how exhausting it feels to be “productive” nowadays.

Earlier, studying was just… studying.

Now it feels like I also need to:

• stay updated with AI tools
• build skills
• maintain LinkedIn
• articleship
• stay fit
• have a social life
• and somehow also study for CA final also

It feels like if you relax for one day, you’re already behind.

And social media makes it worse.

You open Instagram for 5 minutes and suddenly:

• someone your age cracked an amazing internship
• someone scored AIR
• someone is earning online
• someone is waking up at 5am drinking green juice and “winning the day”

Meanwhile I’m staring at the same page of my notes for 25 minutes trying to focus.

The worst feeling is when you KNOW you’re capable of more but your mind just feels constantly overloaded.

I don’t even think students today are lazy.
I think most of us are just mentally overstimulated 24/7.

Anyone else feel like their brain is permanently running in 38 background tabs? Is it common in articleship waale students?
