I have ruined my highschool life and I want to improve.

I am a 19M, and a medical aspirant. With my year final coming up next month, I feel that I've wasted my whole college life. Not studying properly, not having any form of ECA, not learning any new skills, or not improving whatever I do currently.

My sleep schedule is my biggest nemesis. Calling it messed up would be an understatement. Because of my home's chaos and disturbance, I stay up till 5 AM nearly everyday to soak in the calmness and wake up late at 12 PM-1 PM.
Sometimes I'm late for classes because of it, and I lose potential hours of completing HWs of school/home tutors. Arriving home at 6:30 PM, it takes me an hour to change/shower/defrost from the tiresome day. But considering my tutor coming at 8 PM, I don't get the time to complete studies then either.
Even on some days when I fall asleep at 12AM, my alarm might wake me up at 7-8, but I always turn it off and sleep in until noon. As if my conscious mind has no control over it. My sleep-filled subconscious mind does it and dozes back off.

This is visibly ruining my life.
Some days I avoid sleep entirely just to be a bit more productive; but the following day becomes hell.

I can't properly engage in recreation or any ECA because "I don't have time from studying". I want to learn digital art but don't get the time. I want to have a better diet and have time to workout at home to get in better shape but I lack time. I want to earn some pocket money to save up for a guitar but I don't know where to begin with or when to do what.

I want to break free from this endless loop of suffering. I want to be better, but I can't seem to succeed despite trying to mentally prepare myself.

Help me please.

earning pocket money as a teen.

I am a college student at the moment and have turned out into liking a lot of things. Eating good food, travelling, gym, music, traditional drawing, it's a handful.

But being from a middle class family doesn't allow me to always fulfill every wish I have and I feel quite embarrassed to ask for money from my parents for hobbies as they already put undeniable effort for me. I've always wanted an electric guitar but it's too expensive for my parents to bear the cost of and then cover up regular bills as well.

This got me into thinking about earning methods which can allow me to earn a few bucks a month without hampering my studies.
I think getting 500-2000 bdt a month is a realistic expectation but I don't know what to do or where to start from.

If you guys have any suggestions or similar experiences, I'd appreciate if you'd share some.
Thanks!

good shawarma places in dhaka.

I've been looking for good shawarmas in dhaka for a while now. There's a restaurant/hotel in mohakhali called ghoroa; and personally, their shawarma is the best one i've ever had in my whole life. But I want to discover other places too.
I tried donerci's honey mustard and i liked it.
Zafran's (a place in uttara) shawarma is quite distasteful.

If you are aware of places that have good shawarma or places that sell shawarma exclusively, kindly share the places' name (and the item name if they have multiple).

I have my finals in 50 days but I only finished botany and zoology syllabus.

I still have physics, chemistry, math, and IT incomplete. I am studying all of them but I can clearly say that I am not studying enough given how little time I have. I wanna go to med school so I regularly study biology and general knowledge but I feel like I'm lagging behind in other subjects.

My tutor says to make flashcards for biology chapters but I can't seem to manage time after reading a chapter. I move on to the next one for the sake of completing the syllabus and when it's exam season, only then do I go back to those finished chapters to revise them. But doing so doesn't help me grasp the concepts of the topics.

I really suck at making routines as I sleep too much. No other day of mine is like the previous one because of my sleeping habits.

I want to be more serious in studies but I always end up on my phone scrolling or texting. I saw people here posting their consistency, goals, completed task, focus, session length, session numbers using academync but I can't navigate towards that same UI.

If you guys have any suggestions on how to be more productive and get better results from studying and build a routine to keep everything consistent everyday, I would appreciate it.

My significant other will be moving out of the city in an unknown time in the future and we'll be in an ldr then.

So, I'm planning to make them a gift myself that'll be centered around their favorite things in life and the best moments/photos of our relationship. TLDR; a gift that is of their theme and a reminder of our relationship.

  1. Music
  2. Anime
  3. Flowers
  4. slightly gothic typa clothes
  5. cutesy characters, especially sanrio vibes
  6. clay crafts
  7. cats

I have no idea on what to make that'll have everything I mentioned along with a couple of photos of us together and maybe a handwritten letter.

If any of you have any suggestions on what to make or have any experience similar to this, I would appreciate if you could share them.
