I really don't know why. I'm entering my thrid year of university and a good chunk of me getting poor grades is due to me just staring at something during exams. Even if its a course I'm extremely prepared for, I end up getting bad grades. Either I stare at something or I doodle. Or i stare at the paper and doodle. Every single paper I have is filled with doodles. And then time slips away and i end up rushing through the paper. It really sucks when I have to take courses that are exam heavy (basically 90% of the courses I have to take for my degree). It just feels embarrassing saying this out loud especially when I answer a lot during tutorials/questions. In fact a lot of the times I am the one explaing the concepts to my group if someone's stuck. And then I end uo with the lowest grades. And before someone says to try accommodations, I will mention that I'm in a bit of a tricky position. I am not officially diagnosed and Im not allowed to get one either ( I have gone to a therapist in my uni and they basically agreed about having adhd.) So I cant get accommodations without an official diagnosis. I don't know how to explain this to my parents. They're the typical conservative old fashioned, strict people (also extremely religious) and I just feel really stupid and stuck.

WHY ARE THEY SO FUCKING FAST. WHY WHY WHY WHY. AND THOSE CREEPY ASS LEGS. AND BODY. WHY OH WHY. INSWEAR TO GOD THOSE CREEY ASS MFS WERE TAUNTING ME WHEN I COULDNT CARCH THEM. NOW IM SCARED. I CANT BE IN THAT ROOM ANYMORE. WHAT IF THERES MKRE HIDING. WHAT IF THEY CREAWL INTO MY FACE WHEM IM SLEEPIMG. DJSKDKSUEGAJQJSNSHEGEW FUUUCKKKK THEMMMM. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

im entering into my third year of university (science degree) and my first two years of study were not good to say the least. I had a really difficult time trying to study and adjust. (HS was a breeze for me) No matter how much I tried i only ​ended up studying the day before for my exams. This summer break i went to my university's counselor and had a long chat and basically came to the conclusion that there is a hugh probability that I have adhd. Now I come from a South Asian family and my parents are extremely strict regarding studies and stuff and they don't believe in the whole mental health shebang. I tried talking to them about this and they didn't really believe me (basically said I'm not trying hard enough, I'm lying etc etc). I can't also go to an actual psychiatrist to get a diagnosis or medication because they wont allow it. (also entirely dependent on my family for finance. Cant get a job). My parents want me to go into a masters and PhD. As im entering my third year in cant really afford to get bad grades anymore because it'll affect grad school. Anyone in a similar situation have any tips/advice on how to study, get good grades and not burn out? I tried all the usual stuff- active recall, anki flashcards, pomodoro, mindmaps, and none of them stuck or worked out for me. I try really hard in the start but mid way through I just sort of lose motivation. I've just lost so much time and my motivation is at an all time low. The pressure of a test used to force me into studying but now the extra pressure does nothing but give me a migraine and then i have no choice but to sleep. I went to the doctor once for it and i was just told to drink more water and be less stressed. But this is kind of a vicious cycle because there are days where I just literally forget to drink or eat anything for a long while. I tried alarms, reminders and a lot of those fancy tracking apps but they just never stick.

So plsss I'll appreciate any help. I just cant do this anymore 😭.

URGENT- I lost my only mask on my way to campus as I was biking. I have classes until 3 and I don't want to die (jk but my lungs are already shitty enough)

Kind of a stupid question, but the midterm is in the usual lecture building during class time right?

My appt was at 6.45 and it showed up as full. IS it the same for everybody else?

title^

Still hasn't come back. My roommates are away for the summer and I'm only here to take my final exam today. My luck there is no power (I need the internet plsss 😭😭)

Has anyone taken this course before? Is it manageable? Or has experience with the prof?

Can anyone help me with choosing psych courses from the list- Which ones are the easiest?

To all the people who thrift, what are some good thrift stores not too far from campus? I'm looking to thrift a couple of things (mostly clothes), and I don't know where to start. Help a girl out plsss.

I wasn't able to find any info on that. Also, was it offered in 25-26? I'm planning to take it as one of my requirements for Course List A. Are there any other courses from that list that are easy?

I'm looking to volunteer and I need a professional reference and I low-key don't know what to do. The organization said it could be any of my teachers/profs or coworkers. Problem is I haven't worked before nor was I close to any of my teachers. (or my profs for that matter). Wtf do I do? I really need this volunteer expexperience gang😔

I haven't really explored anything outside of campus and since I'm taking some spring and summer classes I wanted some places outside of campus to study. Give me some places near campus thathave good wifi and seating area

Anyone here has taken a midterm via child's math before? Im taking stats 2b rn and I'm low-key tweaking out over this. Its always so fuckkng confusing giving the right answers 😭.

Does anyone know what they ask? Or how the first appointment goes? I want to book an appointment but I wanna know the process before that.

If anyone's had her, how is she like. And the tests?
