back to school soon :(

from Stardock Forums
school is going to start in less then 3 weeks -just wondering, how many people here will find their gaming time greatly diminished since they will be returning to school?
im guessing this should cause a noticible decrease in the number of games submited till christmas holidays -however, i do remember hearing someplace that the average age on here is like 35? (not sure, can someone confirm this?)

i will be returing to college this september, and i already know i wont be submiting much games for awhile. i was denied OSAP (a government student loan program up here in canada, no interest and no payments till you graduate), since they say i have enough funds to cover the cost of college?!? this means i will be working a lot of part time jobs during the school year, so, when im not in school or studing, i will be working, and this means almost no gaming time for me once september roles around. :sniff!:

anyone else in the same boat? i dont mean the OSAP thing, but who else on here will also find their gaming time vanish starting september?

Bah, I always manage to finish my homework in time to play games, that's not a problem.

I completely understand about this. 36 and changing careers, needed to return to school. I am taking Physics, Chem, and Analytic Geo. Each class has a lab (up to 6 hours long). My gaming time will plummet!!!! And I JUST discovered Galactic Civ :sniff!: :sniff!:

oh well, at least we have Labor Day Weekend off, and my work will be closed

I'm still catching up on the stack of games that I accumulated while I was in college but didn't have time to play. :)

Well I've been out of school for 10+ years, work 40+ hrs/week and have a wife and 3 boys. Measure that up against a 16 hour course schedule and frat parties.

Dear god! Please say your not an english major.

Oh the horror that is uncapitalized sentences! ;p

You'll have plenty of time. I worked my way through college (and after that 40+ hour workweek and graduate school). Always found plenty of time for games (with an engineering degree no less).

Finding time for games is no problem. You just have to remember what's important.
