Apologies for the long read in advance but if anyone can help or point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it :)

Currently doing a practise task which requires me to write a report for a hypothetical company. I am given a spreadsheet (which includes errors and duplication etc) and I have to normalise it from 1NF to 3NF in clear steps which has to be shown. Then I have to import them into Microsoft Access and create an ERD

There are 36 columns included in the spreadsheet
Columns:
ExportRowID, PONumber, POLineNumber, PODate, RequiredDate, POStatus, Priority, SupplierID, SupplierName, SupplierContact, SupplierPhone, SupplierEmail, SupplierAddress, PaymentTerms, PurchasingEmployeeID, PurchasingEmployeeName, EmployeeDepartment, DeliveryLocation, ProductID, ProductName, ProductCategory, UnitOfMeasure, QuantityOrdered, UnitCost, LineAmount, ReceiptNumber, ReceiptDate, ReceivedByEmployeeID, ReceivedByEmployeeName, QuantityReceived, AcceptanceStatus, DeliveryCondition, InvoiceNumber, InvoiceDate, InvoiceAmount, Notes

My attempt (7 tables):
Supplier (SupplierID)
Employee (EmployeeID)
Product (ProductID)
PurchaseOrder (PONumber)
POLine (PONumber + POLineNumber)
Receipt (ReceiptNumber)
Invoice (InvoiceNumber)

Does this look right? I'd also appreciate help with the Access side (relationships and importing from one flat sheet into multiple tables).

Honestly, don’t know what to write here so
A little about me :
I love and enjoy playing and watching sports. Hiking, biking, anything outdoors really, long walks.
Going down random rabbit holes on true crime or history.
Would love to travel and explore the world.
Bilingual

I value someone who’s understanding, respectful, honest and can hold a conversation. Would want someone who has that spark, someone who makes you check your phone in excitement and you can’t get them out of your head. Would love to see where it goes, where the conversation takes us and where we end up. Maybe we become each other’s favourite notification 🤔
I’ve got too much male friends so would like to change that up a bit
Preferably female and 20+

I’ll try to keep this short so I’m sorry in advance if it’s long

Second year uni student, second semester, studying Accounting. Passed all my classes up to now. Honestly though, beside the odd in class test, I’ve never really studied. Every class I’ve had until now I would just study the last 2 weeks or so before final exams once we’re told what weeks are actually being tested.Which was basically me learning from scratch and doing practise questions but it’s got me through so far.

This semester feels different to all the ones before it. Some classes have in class portfolios with unseen questions tested weekly, so you have to be ontop of the work or at least understand it at a base level to not just stare blankly at them.Some have group presentations too, first time I’ve done that in uni. In general the work just feels heavier, more content, expects you to already have previous knowledge going in (which is assumed) You get the idea.

This semester I’ve really understood that I need to study weekly, be ontop of the work and just understand what I’m doing for that class in that week, so I don’t walk in completely blank and with 0 knowledge at all. And being honest I haven’t done that to a full extent. On the days I have off, I wake up or the night before and make a plan like “okay let’s do this and this class tomorrow.” But I end up wasting the whole day, I do nothing, or do the bare minimum which is like 2 sentences or dotpoints of the start of the chapter and that’s it. I open everything I need, textbook, OneNote/doc, subject webpage, and then doomscroll on my phone instead. Or I’ll work on it for a minute or two, pick my phone up again, put it down, do another minute, pick it up again. Or if I don’t pick my phone up I’ll work for a minute or two then get up and go to another room and doomscroll or watch something there instead. Telling myself “I’ll do it later”. Almost like I lose interest and motivation the second I actually see the work.

And if I do end up studying, there’s a difference between studying and remembering. I could give you a brief outline of that week, really basic stuff, but ask me the formula for something or what you need to calculate it or even a more complex theory question and most of the time I couldn’t tell you. It’s like I study but blankly, just typing and not really thinking about the why or how. More of a “yeah let’s just get this done.”

I have the motivation before I actually open the work and I understand myself that I really need to study just to know the work even at a baseline level and to walk into class with at least some idea. And then I end up not studying 99.9% of the time. Not anxious about it while it’s happening, but once the day’s wasted the guilt hits, that feeling of “damn, I’ve fallen behind and I don’t know this weeks work for this or that class” Not stressing or panicking exactly, just feeling behind. And it repeats pretty much every week for every class. However the further the semester progress the more it starts to feel like anxiety and not just the feeling of being behind. I’m not a person who gets anxious or stressed easily so this is a new feeling for me too (beside of course final exams)

I’ve read through this subreddit and other posts and beside the obvious, put your phone in another room, study techniques, study schedules etc. I haven’t found something that actually works. Although I admit I haven’t tried most of these things properly.
I’m more of a sit down and just do it, finish it in one sitting type of person when studying. With the occasional toilet break or stretch your legs in between. But I lose focus really quickly and my mind wanders or I pick my phone up.

I don’t have other commitments that affect my study availability. Classes are spread across 4 days a week but Tuesdays are completely off, same with Saturday and Sunday unless I’m going out somewhere, and even then I could still fit in a study or two. Before classes I have a few hours too, which I would hopefully use to just review the work for the day.

I take notes online but I’ve been wanting to switch to paper since it’s supposed to be better for retention and feels more productive, but that would take way too long. Even now when I’m taking notes I’m not sure what’s important or not so I end up writing most of the chapter down, something I need to fix.

I’m just lazy and how do I fix this? Any tips? Anyone been in a similar situation?

Honestly at this point any help would be appreciated
Once again apologises if it’s a long read

TLDR: Never really studied in uni, just crammed the tested weeks before finals and it worked. This semester’s heavier (weekly unseen-question tests, group presentations) so I actually need and want to study weekly now, but I can’t make myself. I plan to study then doomscroll or leave the room instead. Even when I do study it doesn’t stick, blank on formulas after or theory. No real commitments in the way. Feel behind every week. How do I actually fix this
(Feel like this is a really bad tldr so I recommend reading the whole post to get a good sense)

Long story short, I am a second year accounting student and would like to add a major to my degree. I have two options and cannot do both together (due to not having enough credit points available). My major options are between

1. Taxation
2. Financial Planning

(both major information pulled from uni handbook)

Taxation
It qualifies you to register as a tax agent with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) and toward registering as a Tax (Financial) Adviser (both subject to relevant work experience)

Financial Planning
Meets RG146 knowledge and skills requirements for the financial planning profession, and satisfies FPA (Financial Planning Association) accreditation requirements. Pairing it with the taxation major isn't required, but qualifies you to also provide tax advice. (however I cannot pair it so it is irrelevant)

I am wondering which one to pick
Which major would provide better job opportunities and/or job security (if any)
Which skills actually matter more
Could you pivot from one to the other later down the track or does the major ''lock you in''

Thanks in advance
