im like perfectly safe for every other modules im taking for exam except for this one module bro its so theory heavy i cant

I want to aim for an A and i roughly estimate I would need around 70~/100 for the exam, i did my exam sample papers and the first one went well i got 70/100 and the second one i did horribly bad like 40-50/100 like i dont even know what went wrong

seniors of this module pls offer any advice on how yall ace this module cause i need this so bad bruh

my friend was telling me about tlou the other day and i thought it was just a pretty nice show that ill check it out after my exam but curiosity got the best of me and i went to watch a video of a gameplay of tlou part 1

at first i thought itll be just another meh as always since my friend quite literally has a horrible taste on a lot of things he shared with me but this time round i guess i underestimated him too much

i kinda stayed up late and now till exam starts in like two hours so ill need to take a nap of about an hour or so before i have to wake up and take my final exam later, i think ill be fine since i had studied beforehand but i hope i wont get screwed over my lack of sleep

please wish me luck and send me blessings because i really need it, but god damn tlou is so fucking good i genuinely got hooked the moment it started like idk i think somethings wrong with me

i was recently introduced to a gambling website by my friend, we initially started small like 30 dollars as minimum deposits and cash out when we can double it. it was all just jokes and fun, we would go to live casino dealers and gamble, doing some fun talk with the dealers and saying funny stuff

however, i recently got hooked onto the winning feeling, i tried gambling for the first time and then i won big once like 100, the feeling felt amazing and i just kept on going, at one point i was up 1000 and i was over the moon, i was able to fully pay off a debt i had, ever since then i kept going and going and well you can kinda expect what happened next

im now down 900 all of the sudden, even though i have been betting small, it eventually accumulated. now instead of betting 30 slowly i just kept on going all in and when i lose i just redeposit, now i have some debts to clear off because of this problem

i tried stopping like restricting myself for one week but it didnt work and i just got myself right back in, i tried getting myself banned by lying that im a minor and all but they still wont ban me, i think the trigger happens when i want to relieve myself and chase back my wins but gradually i just lose more and more

i tried going to work but as a student myself, my schedule is pretty packed with school and i cant really find time to work, i dont really know if ill also get the temptation to want to gamble again because i was able to work and clear off some debt that i now have

im quite afraid that if i dont stop this, i will eventually spend my hard earned savings that ive kept away for a while and plan to use to pay off college fees etc, i want to avoid actually getting worse and gamble my savings to chase back my losses

i dont really know what to do, my debt isnt urgent as i lend it from my friend, i felt like if i use my savings to also pay off my debt it might feel too easy for me and ill just want to gamble more since i have not much debt

I live with two other siblings (older brother younger sister) and a single father, my parents has been divorced a long time ago. Recently however he married to another person so now I have a stepmother alongside his daughter so older stepdaughter as well and also a son so younger stepbrother

at first everything was just like how you’d expect when you meet someone new, I didn’t talk much with both my new stepsiblings and stepmother because we never met before after all. I decided to just let things be since I was doing my n levels soon and I wanted to focus on my exams to get into poly

however as time progresses, I didn’t really got time to talk to my stepmother and step siblings since I was busy working and when poly started I wanted to take my time studying to maintain my gpa so that I could get into reputable local uni

Meanwhile however, my older brother and younger sister did manage to get closer with my stepmother and stepsiblings, they have some pretty common interests so from there on they were able to grow their relationship, I didn’t really have anything common with them however so I just didn’t really bother talking to them and I thought maybe itll just be fine if i just stayed quiet

However that was until i got into a big fight with my older brother, we fought about something really sensitive so I just left the night and went to my friend house so that I can study since I had exams soon too

I came back the next day eventually and I thought things had calm down between me and my older brother. at first i was ready to settle down and just move on but then i overheard the conversation between my two stepsiblings and my younger sister, they were gossiping from what i fought with my older brother and really sided with him, they then proceeded to criticise quite literally everything about me from my hobbies, how i act and the type of friends i have made. this to me was really crossing the line to me because my stepsiblings and my younger sister as they have nothing to do with what happened to me and my brother yesterday yet they gossiped and said a lot of negative and false things about me

what made it even worse was that apparently my stepmother has also been secretly judging me too, often time saying how the things i said to my father were offensive when they were all jokes and my father is fine with it btw, but they kept it within themselves and made it look like im the worse

i eventually confronted them afterwards, only my older stepsister talked back but the younger sister and younger stepbrother stayed quiet. eventually my stepmother saw me confronting them and though she did take my side for this time round. it didnt help make me feel any better from this situation

its been a while since this had happen, i no longer view anybody of my siblings and step siblings as family members but strangers. i still talk to my older brother sometimes to discuss about matters like poly since we are in the same poly. but never really talk to any of my other family members other than my father

im fine if things continue this way as well since i have so much better things to care about like school. the only thing i worry is my relationship with my dad. though im sure everything between me and him will be fine. i think he knows that i dont go well with any of the family members at this point but he also doesnt have time to like fix this issue since hes busy with work. i know hes worried because if this doesnt get fixed soon it could be a pretty big issue in the future

i tried to sometime engage in conversation with my stepsiblings, siblings and my stepmother but they never really talk to me much about anything. i dont even feel safe as well to be fair whenever i want to talk to them, what if they were just ready to pick up what ive said and gossip me again. i really dont even know what im doing wrong

im sorry if the story sounds unclear, i can clarify in the comments if needed, but id like to hear some advice on how i can overcome this issue without letting it affect my studies
