I managed to sign up for my classes on time, didn't drop my spaghetti studying with this girl, and now I"m more or less free until I go drink with my friends later tonight. Feels fucking great, my karma's finally coming around

I'm dropping out after spending last 5 years studying a 3 year degree. All I had to do was to finish the damn thesis.

>>36599530
That's not how karma works,faggu

>>36599686
Maybe karma's not the right word, but I've had an unnaturally shitty week, and now a bunch of good things are happening close together. Fate or whatever is turning around for me

>>36599254
feel really guitly every moment i spend not studying but im studying so much i burn out and ive got a constant headache
and i still dont understand any of my course

Finals are next week and I burnt myself out this week. And fucking KEKS think they can show up all of the sudden and infiltrate my secret study spot that I've been going to all fucking semester, because now every seat is taken but I'm too attached to that place so I don't want to find anywhere else so I just sit on the floor until someone gets up to leave REEEEEEE

>>36599888
You're not retaining anything you're trying to study, if you're constantly keeping yourself in that state of mind. Take a whole day or two off from studying, spend all the time you would be studying meditating/napping/etc. and then on the second or third day try again

Why can't I make myself sit down and study? I can't go 20 minutes before giving in to the urge to do anything else

I got an email about a "floor meeting" for my apartment that's really a dorm in twenty minutes. I haven't had a single floor meeting this semester but apparently it's mandatory?? What do

>>36600189
dont go laddo

>>36599888
im in the same spot man, just came back from the library - did 13 hours today

if im not studying i feel guilty about not studying and start panicking that im not gonna pass

>>36600378
i dont even go to the library any more because i feel like the walk there is a waste of time, havent left my house in like 5 days

>>36600481
thats hardcore man respect, how much time youve left until the finals hit?

>>36600527
it is in theory but i just get distracted so easily that i dont spend enough of the time actually working, which is why i need to maximise the time i have
ive still got a couple of weeks but i basically did no work all year so im learning my entire course from scratch

>>36600611
>>36600481
I hate the library too, I'm always distracted by all the silence and sometimes there's other people being loud that's equally distracting.

>>36600189
it's not mandatory

>3 hour Latin exam in a month
>still haven't started studying

JUST

>>36600611
best of luck dude you got this

>>36600686
I'm here

It's weird

Once you have done a couple of hours leave and treat yourself to fast food or something you really enjoy eating, this is how I carry myself through education.

If I'm in my dorm room I won't do jack shit but play vidya and shitpost, I can't shitpost on /r9k/ i the library so it forces me to work.

You don't need motivation, just a routine like this that you can drag yourself to and eventually the work will get done.

>>36600759
There are a lot of people at my school coughing now. I'm scared I'm going to get sick just in time for finals.

Why can't they cover their damn mouths!

>>36600759
take a day out, email your tutors and drink lots of fluids faggot

>>36600896
I know that feel too fucking well. All these people with their weak fucking immune systems sniffling and coughing every five seconds. I feel so unsafe at times that I have to breathe through my shirt. I don't know what got me sick but I bet it was them.

>>36600178
>>36600824
This is how I got through my final year despite being an archetypal absent-minded INTP, except I drank Ribena instead of water.

>>36599609
Why are you giving up so close to the end?

>>36600318
>>36600686
>>36600755
ALRIGHT so just got back. definitely wasn't mandatory.

we had gotten an email earlier this week about our move out policies, and it was literally two RAs i never see or talk to reading the email out

plus they made us do a shitty icebreaker at the start (who does icebreakers in fucking april) by making us pull a question from a box and answer it. jfc i'm excited to leave

College is a meme. Its about who you know, and how good you look. Unless you are god tier in your subject, or top of the class, you wont get a good job.

How do normies let a girl know they're trying to court them and not just be friends? My department is as full of beta orbiters as it is couples but they seem to act so similarly, hanging out and going on lunch dates and whatnot. How do you know if you're becoming a "thing" or just being a friend, I want to get out of being a wizard but this is so confusing

>>36600824
I'm going to do it this weekend. It's gotta be better than telling myself I'll get something done and playing vidya and shitposting all day

I remember you from another thread. How did it go with the girl?

>>36603418
It was nice, we worked on homework and talked shit about how poorly the professor taught it for an hour or so before we had to leave for more rehearsals. I'm pretty terrible at this sort of thing usually, but I think the vibe or whatever was solid. I expect to get shot down but I'll at least attempt suggesting we do something more date-like eventually

>>36603762

Who else here /studyabroad/? I'm leaving this Sunday to study and work in a hospital in a third world shithole.

I can't study any more, my brain is broken. I'm sleep deprived, behind in my classes, and have exams beginning on Wednesday. I can't imagine trudging through until my last exam, but that's what I'll have to do. My motivation is running on empty after these past 2 whirlwind semsters.

How much difference does 3 credit hours make? Next semester I'm taking 16 credits instead of 19 which I have had for the past 2 and hated.

Hey, just want to get a resemblance of public census here.

I don't where I've seen it but I heard spread out studying and doing homework instead of condensing them is better for material retention, does that sound crazy?

Guys I'm now friends with a girl in my dorm how do I escalate from "friends" to "friends with benefits" (i.e. sex)?

>>36605100
Get a job and spend any free time watching anime/reading VNs. That's my plan at least

>>36605205
I want to next year. I was too poor to do it this summer

>>36605819
Iktf too well. I feel like a fraud sometimes.

>>36606004
Just watch out for that shit man, two people in my dorm became friends with benefits, got into a relationship, broke up, and they still had to see each other every single day, it was pretty awkward.

>>36606692
I still have yet to encounter material difficult enough to warrant studying more than 2 days before the test, and usually that's only reserved for the times when I skip lecture so I don't actually know the content.
I tend to:
>Skip lecture, do not know content
>Don't give a fuck until exam comes up
>2 days before exam swings around, teach myself content using textbook
>day before the exam spend the day doing practice problems
Has a 100% success rate so far.

The difference is that normies escalate the intimacy. This opens them up to both rejection and commitment. Sometimes she says yes, sometimes she says no. Orbiters don't escalate and remain friends because they're scared of facing rejection.

Talk to her a little bit. Ask to hang out in your room. Ask her in person to be fwb. Make sure to lay out clear ground rules and stick to them.

>>36607887
Thats fair. Do your best for finals, then drown yourself in alcohol and vidya when they are over. After a week or two, stop vidya and sit in the shower with a beer for like 20 mins and sorta meditate on it one time. When thats done, do something with a friend and you should feel better.
