Heres my story.
I am a professional slacker, ive always been lazy, at highschool I neve id more than the necessary homework to present exams, I skept classes etc, i rather play vgs for hour or get slammed with my pals than studing, yet i passes with an avg of 4.0.
The thing is that I got into med school, and its killing me, its just so much material, i thought I could handle it just like in high school, and i barely passed my first 2 exams, since then ive been studing around 4 hours a day and its still not enough. Its been specially difficult since i dont even know how to study poroperly. My lifestyle has taken a turn for the worse, its not fun, its not even entretaining, and its killing my socail life, but I really want to graduate as a surgeon.
Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? What did you do? WHY?

4 hours a day isn't much in Med school. I have a friend who's dad is a doctor, he said he never went to the lectures, he instead grabbed all the papers from the lectures, and went to the library from 8 AM till 11 PM everyday and just studied.
Like someone else said, if it's something your passionate about, you'll get through it. If not, better start switching majors, because med school is a ton of memorization.
