Why do I do this?

[Paulos]

It is 8:30, and I have a test in History tomorrow that is approximately 25% of my grade.

It covers four chapters, that are 120 pages in length combined. I have not even started studying, and what is worse is I spend the entire time in class trying to get laid instead of focusing on the lecture and taking notes, so I don't have the slightest idea what the fuck is going on in that class.

I've had plenty of time this week to study, yet I did not. I did get to the gym 3 times this week already though.


I need to get my priorities in order I guess.

lol I feel you man, I got the same shit goin on tomorrow, a 10 page paper and presentation in my economics class... havnt even started it. Luckily my class doesnt start til 7:50 pm, im still screwed tho. Anyways good luck on your test

well, i am no big fan of making a project out of studying... If you go to class and pay attention just an hour of studying will suffice. Thats for me, you may be different.

I had a test in macroeconomic theory and policy... Always went to class and payed attention. I studied for an hour the morning before the test(40% of my grade) and scored a 90

All up to you, dont pay attention, study more.

My roomate had your problem. Got a 0.0 one semester, 0.7 the next semester. Got suspended for a semester and had to go home. Lived with his parents, went to comm college. He finally realized how important these few years are and got his shit together.

Once you realize that this COULD be, not neccesarily IS, but could be what makes or breaks the rest of your life, you will get your shit straight.

Dont let it get you down. Party and get laid once your work is done. I finally learned to do that and it made all the difference. Yeah, i miss out on some stuff, but in the long run it makes a big difference. And i still have a hell of alot of fun

What time period do you cover.

 

[Paulos]

One of the problems is I have an extremely tough time focusing, I can't really read or listen something without two thoughts coming at once and straying from what I'm trying to focus on. I read 10 pages and don't have any fucking clue what was in those 10 pages.

The only classes where this doesn't happen are things like Nutriton - It's something I care about so I find it interesting and easy to pay attention. I completely realize what getting bad grades will do to me, I am not nieve in the fact that fucking up here can fuck me up in the long run, I just can't seem to pull my shit together for some things.


Argent, the time period is American History before 1877. Revolutions, Slaves, Cotton, all of that crap.

Just remember that Louis XVI was decapitated in a guillotine and everything else should fall into place.

adderall

What is Adderall?

 

[BangedUp]

A great drug that gets me through most of my studying. I have the same problem as you. I cannot read for more than say 10 minutes with out be distracted and usually do not remember a damn thing I have read.

Once I pop an addy, I am focused and can study for hours without interruption.

They should be easy to find since you are in college. Search the archives here to find a ton of information.

 

[Paulos]

Hmm...I'll look into it Broly. Thanks.

 

[corvettedudeman]

Yeah adderal works very well when you need to focus and concentrate... But it kills the apetite hardcore. You can go to the doc and maybe get a perscription. But i am sure there are tons of people around campus selling it. There are a bunch where i am at. I seem them around for $3 a pop. Luckily my roommate has a script and i get them for free. Defitnately help though
