They aren't taking it seriously enough. This is real. This is hard. This, is FIRST.

Absolutely not. Have you taken a look in my direction?

I think I'm a wonderful person.

Too much FIRST? Too addicted? I'm sorry... you have reached an impossible thought path... please rotate your phone 90 degrees and try again. Seriously, There is no such thing as being too addicted to something that is entirely beneficial.

well from a purely utilitarian view point if FIRST causes a lot of pleasure for every one and pain to no one then yes there can be no such thing as too much FIRST . . but a virtueist would say that too much time spent in FIRST would push you towards lowered grades, lowered social interactions(outside of FIRST), and a generally unrounded individual. while the egoist would say what ever floats your boat.

(see mom I learn things in college)

so I would say yes you can spend too much time with FIRST . . . but not during jan - mid feb.

Second that.
I don't think that you can spend too much time on FIRST until it hurts other areas of your life. If it's your free time, do it on something you love and don't regret it.
