I should not be the only student to have asked himself: is all these worth it?

The time is 23:16. It’s a Monday night and I'm taking a quick break from studying.

Why?

I feel tired.

Now, I’m sitting, asking myself a question I believe students before me have asked themselves and those after would still ask: is it worth it?

Fighting sleep till past midnight, sacrificing comfort to learn and cram knowledge you might not use in the exam hall, I do not think it’s too much to ask if it is worth it.

If it is truly worth it, I do not know; but I believe many of us find meaning in these struggles.

And more importantly, for me, since I am already doing this, and I do not have any compelling reason not to, then I need not dwell deeply on the question of worth. Instead, I try my best, for what is worth doing is worth doing well.

Finally, to you, if you are a student, do you think it is worth it? And why?
