>he thinks he can beat chad at anything
time to leave la la land my dude

This is my worst fear. I fried my brain on prescription drugs, alcohol and mania. My memory is terrible and worsening. I haven't been in school for over four years, I'm 25, and going back to school next spring semester.

I want to suceed and I know how hard I'll work but I'm terrified that I'll have to bust my ass just to keep afloat.

I'm pretty convinced that having an active social life is a key part of actually learning effectively.

>implying you put up those 12 hours up to good use
>implying that guy wasn't good before he started university.

So you finally took the ultimate redpill that not only are normies more socially ept and happier than you, but they are also smarter and more productive than you; and all of it is effortless to them.
Welcome to fucking hell anon.

>>38758544
this too.When you are surrounded by people who study the same degree as you it can be extremely beneficial.

>That guy who cheats all semester and barely comes to class or studies and ends up passing
It was me all along. I could have an active social life but I just lay in bed.

>le smart but lazy man

>>38758418
Literally at school right now doing my usual "complete the assignment 3 hours before class starts and then study for the rest". Pulling 92 average, and on scholarship. Genetics are a godsend.

>Be normie
>Party like mad between exams
>Take Adderall a few days before midterm
>Get 90%+
>Bang out 15 pages single spaced in 3 days for term project
>Go back to partying

>>38758702
They dont even need adderall most the time, they can just simply motivate themselves to sit down and do shit. it's fucking mind boggling.

I need the answers to these. Every so often, I can lift my head high enough to know what it feels like to be efficient and productive but it's such a rare occurrence and I don't know what sparks it. But it's amazing when it happens

>>38758974
Well in my case it's from alcohol abuse, antipsychotics, extreme stress and OCD. Obviously what's worked for me won't work for you, but some general advice:

>exercise on a regular basis physically AND mentally
>eat well
>drink only water and lots of it
>have supportive relationships and sicialize frequently
>get enough sleep

>>38758418
You're just retarded mate, but you have good working habits which are more important

>>exercise on a regular basis physically AND mentally
tfw every time i try to exercise i do it for a day or two then lose all motivation and eventually quit.
>>eat well
tfw extremely picky eater, have eaten the exact same meals for pretty much my entire life
>>drink only water and lots of it
tfw hate the taste of water unless extremely thirsty
>>have supportive relationships and sicialize frequently
this ones not even fair
>>get enough sleep
tfw sleep for 10+ hours a day but still feel exhausted

>>38759059
Not being able to even one of those things can fuck you up mentally. If you can work on improvinh even one thing im your life you'll notice the difference.

Time for the rope my dude. Or you could stop being a little bitch boy and impose yourself these things and stop finding excuses for everything.

>>38758867
Basically this. I enjoy lectures though.

>that guy who studied for only a few hours and still managed to get over 80% in his exams despite having an active social life and was in a relationship

Me except for the social life and relationship parts. That time was filled with vidya and work.

>finish exam, leave the room first
>get 95%

Genetics, my man.
Unfortunately being good at engineering has only attracted gold diggers, so I remain celibate.

You kinda did newfriend. It's okay though. I'm confident with this valuable site cultural etiquette you'll change your posting style though and we won't have any more issues.

People with social lives and good health/physique have a lot more mental health than losers that post here and are happier overall, which means they can get more done in less time because they're more motivated.

Only gullible people believe that intellectual ability isn't affected by social isolation and lack of exercise. The "nerdy skinny yet smart kid" is just a Hollywood stereotype, it doesn't exist as much in the real world and is only popular because it feeds people's egos in telling them they don't need to exercise and put some effort in being social if you are "smart", which is something that can be extremely relativized to the point you can believe yourself smart out of thin air with no accomplishments at all.
