I relate my self worth to my university work

I spent this weekend being really productive, spending time with my close friends, partner, cleaning the house and attending a special course but I didn't do any specific uni work (studying or preparing for classes) and now I can't shake off the feeling of guilt and worthlessness. It is always like that and it's mostly hard for me to enjoy days when I'm not drowned in work.

I found some of the best students ' had a life.' I was more of a swot ...and that did not get me all that far.

@Maturebate oh well that kinda slapped me in the face.. thank you! i find my uni work to be very important because i really want to make it in my career and i tend to get lost in it and go really hard on myself. push myself to do more and more.
i hope you are enjoying your life and how its turning out though!

@palmtree not intended that way . I meant the all rounders did better than me.
