I have found that I play poker way too often instead of doing normal freshman activities in college. I've missed out on few parties and beer/pizza nights,

Huge mistake. Enjoy college. If you are lucky, it will be the best 5 or 6 years of your life. Chase girls, party, join a frat and live! Poker will there when you are done

but my academic work is slipping. I've especially been doing my papers late at night and into the morning the night before they are due (but im sure lots of kids do this!) I'm tired in class the next day, and I feel terrible. And I've missed my 8a.m. class twice when I can only miss it 3 times before I lose a grade.

This behavior must stop. Nut up. You don't want to get expelled and work delivering snacks to a 7/11 during the day and playing $0.01/$0.02 limit at night.

(By the way, im not gambling and on tilt and losing, I'm doing it by the book and making money [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. I'm still at the .5/1 4 tabling, I havent moved to NL to make up money or anything.) I just like doing this instead of working at the library or something boring.

Good for you. I wish you continued success.

Should I cut back on poker a lot, or is there another way to do this, ie, a schedule that I can set up? I enjoy poker, but I don't want to miss out on something that I would have while im playing. I truly hope that this is not an addiction, but if it is somebody point it out.

You might not be addicted, but if you have to post this on a poker forum I think you may need to scale back your playing to a set number of hours per week.
