/adv/ I need you
this might sound really basic but im having trouble in school
Im a senior in electrical engineering but im trapped in mathematics, I took calc II 3 times before passing with an A, and now im in calc III and I got a 54 on my most recent exam (69 and 70 before that) and need an 81% on the final (30% of grade) to pass but ive never gotten an 80 on any of the other exams and every time I sit down to study either I forget the material an hour later completely or I cant focus for shit and ADHD overtakes me. it feels like the exam is all new material half of the time, like I only saw one side of a coin. Hours and hours of studying are equal to about 30 mins of material, and I cant get it on the exams.
I cant change my major because everything else I REMOTELY find interesting or fun seems like pleb tier work where ill never make anything of myself or find fulfillment.

What do the fine people of /adv/ do to prepare for an exam? overcome focus problems? learn math? I need you senpai

Here's what I do.
>Drink coffee/energy drink of choice
>Abuse your study help thing if you have it. Ask so many questions that the people there will think you're retarded.
>Unplug that computer and toss it somewhere. If you really need to use it, block internet/unnecessary sites
>Learn from a different source
>Get a friend/group to study with
>Look at past exams
>Study concepts, not facts
>Print out shit and tack it up everywhere like a psychopath
>fap/have a smoke/etc.
>eat/drink enough water
>sleep enough
>break up study sessions with SHORT breaks
>reward yourself with small rewards in the short-term, waiting for that big reward in the distance causes procrastination
>>
anon honestly go talk to your professor or ta.
tell him that you're struggling with studying for exams and ask what successful students do to do well. these people are more understanding than you may think.
try to understand the purpose of each concept and do tons of practice exams if you can. not only will this increase your skill, but also decrease testing anxiety.
>>
>>17814633

+1 to this, most important things are:

>Block internet/shit sites
>Study in a group
>Study concepts, not facts
>Sleep enough
>Break up study sessions, I personally do 30 mins study, 5 minutes break

Can't emphasis the importance on concepts > facts enough.

Hey adv i'm trying to lose weight.
As it stands I eat 500cal for lunch daily and then 1000cal for dinner.
I'm 18, 6'2" and 215 pounds. I want to get to 195 pounds (healthy weight). Some online sources tell me maintaining my weight would take 2500cal, so I'm pushing it about as far as I could with a 1000 calorie shortfall...

Will this work? I've been at it a week. I feel tired.

Space out your calorie intake so you do not become lethargic in between meals.
>>
>>17814529
Mantaining your weight depends on what you do during the day. So 2500 is random and means nothing.

>500 lunch
>1k dinner

Why?

Trying to sell some of my artwork (prints) for the first time, and while other artists have told me how to price, a lot of them seem to overvalue their own work and don't seem to be making frequent sales.

My girlfriend (the first I got) is two years older than me, but she explain me many times she really loves me and I play an important role in his life because her ex (the first she had) cheat her
She says me I'm everything she was searching and I'm really feel glad of that but...

When I was child, I see how dad cheat mom with a woman of his work, she forgive him but always exist certain kind of insecurity from mom with Dad. I raise up watching all that and, sometimes, when gf don't answer the phone, messages don't come to her or she get out with their friends (womens) I feel something burning inside me, killing me

I said womens because she hates the people, she's not social and a exist two great points

1. we think the same things relationated with cheating; we see the cheating as the a real devil

2. she told me a lot of times she never be able of cheating me


How can I deal with anxiety?
In what point I should really feel scared

Thanks /adv/

I'll outline the problem and question real quick and then give some context.

I've shared the bed with my cousin a few times now after she's claimed she's had nightmares. Should I tell her parents or am I being paranoid?

>Finishing last year of studies in Australia where a number of family members live
>Have ended up babysitting my 10 year old cousin
>Unspeakably adorable. Aryan, glowing eyes, perfect amount of manners and mischief to make it never feel like a chore
>Because she's not a chore to be around I make the effort to not just sit in the guest room and work.
>Started watching movies with her namely, Spirited Away and Watership Down
>They creeped the fuck out of her to the point where I decided to just go with younger age group stuff
>So on both nights she slept in the guest room with me

I wanted to show her Lord of the Rings but her family is pretty straight laced so I figured the age rating thing might be a problem. I remembered those two films were creepy, but kid friendly so it felt perfect for 10. Clearly I was wrong.

Which LotR? The animations or the PJ films? I watched all of them at around 10 and don't recall having nightmares. Although, if she's getting freaked out over Spirited Away then I wouldn't recommend you let her watch LotR.
>>
>>17814479
>Unspeakably adorable. Aryan, glowing eyes, perfect amount of manners and mischief
That's not the best way to describe your 10 year old cousin, nor does the topic require her description at all unless you want us to tell how it went beyond "sharing a bed".

>>17814542
It's people like this that make me sick of our culture, all he did was describe a child accurately and the first thing you assume is foul play, fuck off.

I'll make this brief
>2.5yr relationship
>Everything is perfect except this 'problem'
>I've already attempted to get her to diet and go to the gym with me. At first she did but for the past few months she finds every excuse not to go so I've just been going by myself. She also went back to eating how she used to
>I'm getting fit and feel great but I really want her to do the same

Is there any way to go about this or do I just have to accept that I'm becoming less and less attracted to her? The last thing I want to do is body shame her/make her feel bad about herself, which is why I haven't said anything explicit yet. The diet and exercise thing was done under the pretext that I wanted to get fit and I wanted her to be my gym partner.

>>17814427

unfortunately unless you flat out lie about you're inevitable break up she will feel body shamed and bad baout herself. and even then unless shes retarded she'll know the truth.

you can try agian but there is no magical option that will help her see the light of day.

the healthy approach is telling her you want both of you to get better, not just for each other, but for yourselves. and if she can't stick with it, you're afraid for your future together.

but it will likely lead to a fight mate.

Tell her that you're interesting in joining the gym and you want her to be your partner. I don't think there's an easy way to tell her to go on a diet.
>>
>>17814436
>the healthy approach is telling her you want both of you to get better, not just for each other, but for yourselves. and if she can't stick with it, you're afraid for your future together.

I have to leave out the last part though. I would feel like such a shithead giving an ultimatum to the tune of "slim up or I'll dump you" - I just want her to get in shape and have more confidence in herself. I admit it's mostly for selfish reasons, but regardless, I know she would feel better about herself. She has always been self conscious about her weight so that makes things even harder

visit them as often as you can, send them letters monthly, check up on their families and offer support to their mothers and siblings, be the figure that is missing from their family, And in general be an overall stand up guy. Doing this will have you known as a brilliant friend and overall reliable man. hang in there bud

>>17814362
With minimal effort, just send a care package every few months. Have it full of sweets and chocolates, a good book and 20$. This is if you care for their well being.

If you really love them, pretend to rob a bank, get napped, and squad up in that bitch.

Femanon here.
Started an arts masters, theres this guy in my class im kinda into. He's kinda strange, always dressed in black, multiple piercings and long hair but also really shy and quiet sits in the back of class. His sketchbook and project work however is all pink and frilly, he seems to love the sanrio characters and i noticed a little charm of the twins on his backpack the only thing with color he uses. No perverted stuff in the drawings like the common weeb tho only cute and innocent.
Hes also into pokemon. Do you think this whole hyper cute thing might mean he's gay? I love the drawings but im a bit on edge because of that...

From what I understand you were driving a large truck without a CDL. That is a ticket by itself. You were also speeding in a school zone. That is another ticket by itself. Your lucky he didn't have a DOT inspection on the truck to rack the tickets up.

What's up,

I started studying medicine about 3 months ago.
Some background info: I'm from Germany and I have a degree with an average of 3,2 which is preeeetty shitty, and normally I shouldn't even be studying medicine with that average, but I got pretty lucky (imo) with the test I had to do to qualify to the university. I never really lerned before that and mostly was a lazy shit. Before I started studying I worked about 3 years as paramedic, so I have some practical knowledge in that field.

BUT

I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I have to learn. I'm not saying this in a "I didn't know I had to learn much" way, but I kinda have the feeling that the other people in my "class" tend to understand and remember things much better than I do, with fewer work.

I have to say I never really studied for school etc. before, which makes things hard for me. After class I mostly sit and study for 7 hours until 0:00 AM and then go to bed, and I still don't have the feeling I have learned much in that period.

While studying I experience a lack of concentration, and I tend to read things without actually processing WHAT exactly I'm reading. And I'm really trying hard to, but it just won't work properly. Same goes for the classes.

I can say with certain security that I don't have ADHD or some sort of thing that could have an influence on my learning behavior.

Do any of you guys have some tips how to "learn to learn"?

Thank you guys in advance

Just out of curiosity.

How the hell do you get to study medicine with 3,2 average?
Mine is 3,3.
I want to study too..but 8years waiting time is a bit too much for me
How did you do it?
What university?
>>
Also I get what you mean.
But don't worry..I'm pretty sure that most of your class isn't that much better.

I had a friend who was perfect in school.
1.0, 1.1 or 1,2 average she had when she finished school.

She has been disciplined before university and also during university.
she studied hours on end for medicine but threw it after 2 semesters because she couldn't go on anymore.

Maybe it's not really about how good you are but rather how your endurance is like.
I think it's nearly impossible to pass each test.
You might have to repeat some exams several times or postpone them to the next semester.

Also your learning capabilities and memory will improve.
Get a system
Mnemonics or something like that
>>
I'm studying at the Paracelsus Medizinische Privatuniversität. They have a university in Salzburg and one in Nürnberg (not gonna say at which one I am though lol).

Cool thing is they don't look at your grades. Bad thing is you have to do a test to get in.
I'd recommend you take a look at that university. Although they require you to pay a relatively huge amount of money to study there, they have several programs to help you or even take over the costs if you can't afford it. I for example use such a plan, whereas I pay a certain percentage of my future salary back, until I paid it off. (It's a fix percentage, so they can't/won't rip you off, and I've spoken to some people in advance who also told me it's not a ripoff, although you have to pay some interest, of course)

I'm moving 1,000 miles away at 18 without a job lined up beforehand. The city I'm moving to has lots of open casual jobs (retail mostly) that I saw when I visited that I could do during school but it may take a bit to lock one down. I have $700 in the bank (I know I know), but the only expense I'll have is groceries and paying my friend $150 a month. And gas for my car but that's not a big deal. I live pretty lightly, don't spend much on useless things. I'm going to try and go to college but OOS tuition may be a bit much at first. I do make about $100 a week on selling things online, which is a small amount but I'm cheap as hell so it's enough.

Anyone have any financial pointers for living on a tight budget, even if just for a month or less before I get work set up? Cheapest recipes that don't get old, cheap alternatives to necessary items, entertainment/hobbies that are nearly free, etc. Thanks!

Don't buy stupid shit. When I moved I drove through 8 states by not carrying any furniture at all in my car. It was just old clothes and kitchen stuff and my PC.

I bought a $150 mattress and then IKEAd the rest. Except it wasn't Ikea it was some Chinese off brand Ikea shit.

Buy a shitload of frozen and non perishable food so you don't keep going to the store, and walk a lot more than drive.

If you can't live comfortably like this, find a less expensive apartment or a better job

>>17814298
I'm just gonna sleep on her couch, it's no difference really. Planning to get some furniture from Craigslist free and spruce it up, maybe some from thrift shops. I'm not taking big things, just my personal belongings, she has most furniture/silverware/appliances/etc already. I mostly eat vegetables, pasta, meat and typical breakfast foods so food isn't a huge expense, but I'll keep in mind not to splurge on fresh things often (canned pretty much always tastes the same IMO)
>>
I moved 6200km without a job this summer, I'm comfortable and doing well now.

Once you're there, don't buy food out. Make stirfry with beans and beansprouts and beef heart and cheap stuff like that. Nutritious and cheap. Mushrooms, lentils, etc. Experiment.
