Welcome to college.

Do you have the possibility to postphone the harder exam? Because in one day, it is next to impossible to do this.

Don't be so defensive, guys. Think about it: you can fail in your objectives and still have a wonderful and supportive gf by your side. That shoud give you hope.

>>2424333
Nope. Next opportunity would be in September, but if I start failing these exams that month could become a living nightmare.

>>2424288

You should probably protest that you are somehow being discriminated against. It's fucking bullshit that students in the STEM field are expected to be able to program/design a structure that wont collapse/operate on someone without killing them!

>>2424288
Worrying about shit won't get the work done. We've all been in this position before and I've asked these very questions myself, but all you can do now is stop dicking around on 4chan, focus, and get it over with.

t. cell biology and neuroscience degree

You don't know what stress is kid. If you think studying for some exams is stressful you're in for a shitty world.

Can you take some relaxing time with your gf?
Dont get me wrong, I believe you that it will be hard. But too much pressure can literally block your head, so this is no good.

>Studying
>Stressful
>Implying STEM is anything other than a meme and you're not just wasting your time to compete against dirt cheap chinks and poos

The real world is going to chew you up if you think that's stressful.

Hell, I had to write multiple small books for my undergrad for political science. But I got through it with ease and never studying ever other than for sources before I loved the material and discipline.

I can tell that you don't love your area of study because it's that much of a burden. That's where you fucked up to begin with. Don't fall for the junk degree meme. If you have the passion for it and the drive, you will make money doing whatever the fuck you want. Do what you love and do it well and it will pay off. STEM is meme tier buddy.

t. Political scientist who got fired from/left every non-poli sci job I ever had because I hated them and didn't care about them so I said fuck it and started my own consultancy with only a laptop and custom website and now I rake it in because I do what I love.

Buy modafinil you fucking idiot

>>2424288
Can't you go to those uni sponsored study sessions where the Asian kids tutor you for free?

>>2424288
i put in a fuck tonne of effort during my last year of college, basically became a hermit for most of the year. there isnt really any other way around it, you just have to put in a billion hours to succeed. remember that this will be the only year in your life you'll have to do this shit so you might as well sacrifice it for the greater good

i only studied at night and not in between classes, so my head was not full of shit from what i just learnt. most of my final year was consumed by design and research projects but they arent too bad as long as you formulate a plan early on

also i never studied on the day of an exam, and took it easy the day before. this reduced my stress levels significantly for exams.

normie get out

Alright man ;) keep living the dream.

My GF is away for 3 months. After the exams I plan to travel and spend some days with her, but right now I'm completely alone.

>I can tell that you don't love your area of study because it's that much of a burden.

True in some ways. I'm studying a Chemistry degree. During these years I discovered I love biochemistry, biocomputation and analitical chemistry, but hate organic chemistry and physical chemistry. I easily passed all the subjects I love, but the ones I hate are difficult as fuck. Maybe I hate them because they are really difficult for me, I dunno.

>>2424771
There isn't any of that in my uni. I will have to pay for private lessons in Summer if I want to finish my degree in 2017.

>>2424790
I also spend my days at the library until two weeks before finals, when it gets so cramped up that studying there is a waste of time. That's what is stressing me so much, because I have no life beyond studying and it isn't working as well as I thought. Thank God I decided to go to the gym in my free time in order to stop being a fatass, that has paid off.

>>2424932

If you don't love it, don't do it famiglia. That's all I can say. I was an education major before I swapped and I fucking hated it. Made me wonder why I wanted to teach ever. So I just went for the degree in the subject I'd like to teach, and it blew my mind just going for the source of what I wanted to do. So much better.

>>2424961
If I could travel 4 years ago I would get out and study something more focused on what I discovered I love, for sure, but now that I'm balls deep and close to finish this terrible experience I only want to get my degree printed on paper and get the fuck out of uni.

Friends?
Hobbies?
Job?

You need to get pressure off, one way or another. There is no much point in learning for 10 hours straight if you cannot wrap your head around it.

How about splitting it in 2.5 hour - segments of focussed learning? At the beginning, even this is hard - but it will work after a week or so. Also try to avoid eating shit and cook fresh food, fast food only one/two times a week. Vegetables / fruits to get you over the phases of munchies. Lower your sugar consumation after this period of exams (NOT BEFORE).

It is also a good point to start some sports. Not gym but simply a bit jogging (in the sun --> raises mood), a bit of activity will push your endorphines a bit.

All in all you will not lose much weight or gain much muscles with this, but it will help you to concentrate better. Helped many of my friends which were struggling with their studies.

(Only assuming ofc that you are not actually doing all of this. In this case, you should consult a professional, as this could point to a burnout.)

>>2424932
If you need help with studying more effectively, try the pomodoro method. Basically set an alarm for whatever time you can fully focus on studying, somewhere between 20-40 minutes. Don't do anything else but study while the timer is running. No phone, no 4chan, no nothing. Just focus. When the alarm goes off, you can reward yourself with a little break, maybe 5 min, then do all that stuff that messes with your attention. When the break is over, set the alarm again and focus. You will be way more effective since you are not wasting your brainpower switching between tasks.

Give it a try, this really helped me while writing my thesis. Good luck anon.
