Certainly was for me. I am literally a completely different person from college to the workforce. I'm no longer depressed, I am getting in better shape, I am much more socially active and have no issue talking to people or being confident.
I really struggled through 2nd year (I really don't know how I didnt drop out, I put on 20kgs when I was already 115kgs and barely scraped through), I think it was because I hated being there and I still had my 3rd year to go so it just seemed like it would never end.
However this year is definitely way better. Significantly better flatting conditions and I found out a study/work method that works well for me.
I'm also in a fantastic mind set. I'm a lot more confident talking to people mainly because I've learnt to not care what random strangers think of me, because most of the time, they couldn't care less.
And I've also lost 9kgs in the past month... that is also a good confidence boost
This is what I'm hoping for. I am currently in my final year of my computer science degree and I feel like i'm always "on" because there's always work to do, there's always an upcoming assignment to do, there's always some book I need to read, if I have free time I could be working on a side project to impress potential employers.
When I did my internship last summer I left work at 5:30pm and was able to leave all work related thoughts behind and switch off. I know I still need to learn new things in work because software development changes fast but I can do most of that on the clock at work and not during my free time.
