Hi, I am a degree math student and I am struggling with passing my exams.

It's not that I don't study, or anything like that (I study a ton and learn the material perfectly), but when the exam comes around, my abilities suddenly plummet.

To give an example, yesterday I took a theoretical-practical analysis exam and I messed up very stupidly in each of the parts.

In the theoretical part I was doing the proof they asked me for and at one point you took two points x, y from a closed interval and you had to use the fact that their difference was zero, which you could do simply by saying that x = y.

Well, for some reason, my brain couldn't grasp that it could be like that at the time, and I went in a completely different direction, which wasn't right. Anyway, I messed up stupidly, and after the exam, I remembered what I should have written.

And then, in the practical part, I had to calculate the sum of a telescopic series, very difficult, to be honest, but I know how to calculate telescopic series, but at that moment even the initial step (decomposing into simple fractions) didn't cross my mind and then, after the examen, I was like "No way, I knew how to do this"

I've had ADHD diagnosed since I was 7, so that might have something to do with it, but I've never had big problems with it before, academically speaking, so maybe it's related with math?

What may be happening to me. Help.

Hi, good afternoon

I'm planning visiting the south of France (specifically the regions of Occitania and Aquitaine this summer with two friends (all of 20 years old), so I wanted to ask for advice.

We want to travel as cheap as possible, but with some considerations, like avoiding Airbnb and tourist flats in general (for ethical reasons), and tourist traps.

So, summing up, what advice would be useful for us?

Thank you

I'm trying to do a social media detox, mainly because certain things that are happening (like this hantavirus thing) are causing me a lot of anxiety.

But I have a problem: my culture is internet culture (I mean, I was born in 2005, I'm a child of my time), my sense of humor is Twitter humor, my musical taste is partly based on the emerging artists I see on my TikTok feed, and I love posting photos on Instagram.

However, I'm experiencing what many people are going through: ever since big corporations have tried to be like everyone else (obviously performative), the internet has become a much more hostile place.

Any suggestions for how to fix this?
