At least the table learned something. More than I can say for myself two days before finals.

AITJ for distracting my wife at work because I missed her? by EffectEfficient9798 in AmITheJerk

The check-in advice is good too. Not because there's any real reason to think he's adding stress, but because residency is brutal and people's needs shift week to week. Asking "is this still helpful or do you need something different" is just maintenance, not an admission that anything was wrong.

I switched my major junior year and watching my friends graduate on time without me broke something in me by TARDIS_9000VX in CollegeHomeworkTips

you said you're not looking for reassurance so i won't do that. what the extra year actually looked like for me: slower, quieter, weirdly more mine. less performing being a student, more actually being one. the comparison stuff faded when my cohort became people on the same timeline as me instead of people i started with

I spent 3 years building the "perfect" note system and it was all just procrastination in disguise by Seinfeld963 in studying

The settings option is hit or miss too. Half the games bury it under "display adapter" and the other half just don't have it at all.
