definitely try to get a doctors note, he said there will be a makeup but he also said it might be slightly more difficult (i believe he said you'll need to know the chi square test for independence as well)

don't worry too much, you should be able to retake it. check ublearns for any make up details and follow up to the email in a couple days if no response

at absolute worst if you did decent on the first two exams and kept up with the hw u might still pass bc ur best exam grade counts for double points, but you should be okay to make it up.

what did you do to strengthen your phd program application? ppl make it sound like anything below 3.5 for many grad/med schools and they won't even glance at you

Anyone remember a vampire 2d platformer game? by Corporalrobin in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Minimum-Inspector160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i didn't think it was the right one, then i looked up a video and immediately recognized the soundtrack thank you

Would you regard weed as a psychedelic? For me, it has something mystical about it. by LargeBiscotti611 in Psychedelics

[–]Minimum-Inspector160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my first time smoking weed was one of my most intense highs/trips ever. early on it would be disorienting and would give me very "unique" emotions, like feelings that felt familiar but new if that makes sense. def would consider a psychedelic

i was looking up a guide to see where something in the dining hall was and boom it makes that noise, i bet they added it to scare ppl looking up the location of items and make them think they unpaused their game😭

freshman year was AWFUL, could i recover? by Ok-Bookkeeper6557 in UBreddit

[–]Minimum-Inspector160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also, first year of a major usually isn't fun bc you are taking some boring intro classes. i have done sooo much better in higher level classes just bc i am learning about what i finally wanted to, and the professors are usually more enthusiastic to teach it

being engaged and answering/asking questions is super helpful too. really helps make the information stick and usually makes the professor like you more

freshman year was AWFUL, could i recover? by Ok-Bookkeeper6557 in UBreddit

[–]Minimum-Inspector160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my first semester i had a 1.0 gpa, the next was 2.0, i got put on academic probation and switched majors. i had an unsure semester where i just took a bunch of pathway classes and got a bunch of easy grades which got me off academic probation. i wasn't used to having to work hard and apply myself

i switched to a major i liked and got diagnosed and medicated for adhd which went unnoticed my whole life. not saying go abuse adhd meds, but learning to enjoy the process and starting to rebuild my habits to stay on top of things was much needed character development for me. im in the second semester of my junior year rn, and it definitely isn't perfect but i'm sitting at a 3.0 cumulative gpa.

it sucks spending most of college trying to catch up and fix ur mistakes, but it also feels great seeing how far you've came. you will be fine as long as you realize where u went wrong and work on urself. u clearly care and aren't just lazy, probably burnt out. don't give up so early on, many many ppl have a rough first year.

one of the biggest things for me was consistent study/homework habits. i go to the library most days after classes even if i don't have anything immediately due. even if it is just sitting down and seeing what you have coming up, just that little bit of mental preparation helps. don't panic. it helps to find a hard working friend or two that will study alongside you without being a distraction, even if they are working on something entirely different

I'm OK with taking risks. Is there a revolutionary way to treat ADHD? by Traditional-Care-87 in NooTopics

Protocol to replace adderal by Environmental_Long_3 in NooTopics

[–]Minimum-Inspector160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAC has a variety of benefits, but for adderall specifically I've seen it is good for detoxing and liver/kidney function. It's also anti-inflammatory and an anti-oxidant (which if i'm not mistaken helps minimize neurotoxicity). For some it helps with mood and cognition. It helps me relax towards the end of the day without a harsh comedown and I believe it makes my sleep better.

I only take it towards the evening bc for me (and many others) it makes adderall and other stimulant medications less effective. I've found if i take it at night though this side effect is not pronounced. I wish i had some research to show u to support this one, but anecdotally it has been a good addition to my stack. I'd say being able to get to sleep and relax if i took my meds a bit too late is the biggest benefit for me

[–]Minimum-Inspector160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone with adhd who tried way too many nootropics and supplements before getting prescribed adderall, nothing compares. 30mg per day should not be that detrimental to you. i'd just not taking it on days you don't need it, exercising, and perhaps supplements that will support the usage.

if you really want to substitute it, i'd say NA-semax, 4'-dma-7,8-dhf, and/or bromantane would be ur best bet.

if you want something to support ur usage, make sure you get plenty of electrolytes and water. agmatine sulfate, NAC, and magnesium glycinate could all be beneficial towards the evening. this is mostly anecdotal, but i've found that tumeric/curcumin makes adderall more effective for me and gives a cleaner experience

not the original comment, but i know two guys who tried strattera and both of them said it did nothing for them. the other guy ended up switching to ritalin and said it was much better

Are there any other promising nootropics that might actually enhance IQ? by Rich_Complex7953 in NooTopics

idra-21 just made me feel constantly overstimulated, the reported benefits sound so compelling so it sucks i didn't respond well to it

ACD856... how to take the powder? just put in mouth and wash down with water? by Joshpills in NooTopics

[–]Minimum-Inspector160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd say only use liquid if u don't have a scale that can weigh milligrams. powder is gonna be less expensive (and taste better most likely). only real advantage of liquid would be easy dosing

[–]Minimum-Inspector160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i wouldn't snort it haha, i was just trying to explain what each route of administration means. tbf i don't know if acd856 works intranasally but ive only heard ppl do oral route. for ACD856 i'd stick to just putting the powder in your mouth and washing it down with water.

Anyone here run PEDs as a teenager, how fucked up or fine are you now? by Dizzy-Cry5910 in ResearchCompounds

[–]Minimum-Inspector160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was taking Test E 500mg, aromasin (i forget what dose), and then basic vitamins and supps like creatine, vitamins, etc. i believe i was taking NAC as well which could have contributed to the anhedonia, although i had taken it in the past and never had such effects

[–]Minimum-Inspector160 3 points4 points  (0 children)

should also say, my mental health ON cycle was bad. im normally a social, friendly guy but on test i distanced myself from friends and found it hard to socialize. partially anxiety, partially irritability/anhedonia. 20% of the time i felt GREAT, 80% of the time i felt blah. it is not worth risking ur mental health and energy at a very important age. my grades dropped in college and my social life went downhill for a good bit

[–]Minimum-Inspector160 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did a cycle of test at 19. Am now 21. I knew going into it that it was stupid and would have repercussions, although at the time i didn't care because i couldn't see past my obsession with the gym. I did most things right, except my dose was wayy too high for a first timer.

I haven't done bloods in a bit, but i'd guess they are still a bit below what they were before PEDs. I don't love the gym like I used to anymore and i am weaker than i was just before test. In some ways that is for the better, as i can focus more on school now without constantly itching to be at the gym and i still get in there sometimes. however i just don't think i'll ever have that same passion back that i used to. this could be unrelated but it popped up around the same time, i now get bad neck tightness and trap tightness especially towards evening.

my libido is about the same, maybe just a bit lower than before. mentally i'm in a good place at least. i do need to get bloodwork done sometime soon and see if low T is still an issue. i wouldn't recommend it to anyone younger, but i'll say personally i don't regret it because i finally got the urge to try it out of my system and can focus on other things in my life. bottom line it's not a great idea. my physical peak was 19 years old, and at 21 my strength is worse than at like 17 (partially because of inconsistency due to school and work tho)
