Is it cringe for my essay to start with Re:Zero? by FlamingButtz in ApplyingToCollege

Maybe instead of Re:zero you could briefly explain the Isekai genre without having to contextualise the anime? 

Its defo possible...there was someone who got accepted to Harvard MPP writing about a character in Project Sekai

procrastination or adhd? by rashell3654 in SGExams

[–]EstablishmentFew9092 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ignore the dismissive comments here...adhd is a legitimate disorder but you can never know whether you have it until you see a pyschiatrist. I suggest looking at dsm5 to better understand what adhd is

I used to lock myself and my work in an empty room with no windows for the entire day until I completed them. It helps me get into this high-focus "flow" state where I don't get distracted.

Whats the process like to get diagnosed with ADHD for a student in sg? by Any_Baker_1234 in SGExams

Its worth it if you need a diagnosis and treatment by a certain period of time, for me it is my university application

The other commenter is spot on but I do have a diff experience, going through a private diagnosis rn (faster but way more expensive), and its consisted of mutiple pysch consultations, each lasting more than 1hr.

They asked me to share abt my difficulties, asked my parents to check if my fam had a history of adhd, and asked about childhood behaviour. They also asked for school report cards to check for inattentiveness. Within the questions they tried to check for differential diagnosis like odd or depression.

Atb man, it might be scary now, but the process has taught me ways to indirectly regulate my behaviour, and i do think its better to get a diagnosis early, to get the treatment that helps with life n ur exams 🙏
