Kana,
I was premed with a double major in Biology and Chemistry at Baylor. Every night, with few exceptions (including weekends) I would have my nose in the books until 2:00 am or better. On the weekends that I was not studying, I worked part-time jobs, usually commercial painting at nights for a college in Dallas. Again, there were exceptions, but that was the norm of my life. And you know what, outside of just the tests the next day, I had nothing to worry about. Yes, they were great years, but maybe not as "party" as most of my friends. It was learning and enlightening and being driven. You will look back on them with fond memories. Using sailing as an analogy, while you are in the middle of a strom offshore, you cannot imagine looking back and appreciating that passage. However, once you make landfall on the island, the storm was all a part of the memory (a positive one) that you will never forget.
It gets better. Hang in there. THe best years are probably right after you get out of school and still have no hard obligations other than yourself. Add kids and a wife, a mortgage, house payments, 8-7 working, school loans, doctor visits, lots of debt... that is when it ain't fun anymore.
