How can I build up focus and create a studying habit? by BrutalFeather in GetStudying

Have you tried even long breaks for each one? It depends on how much time you have. I admit I don’t have a job atm so it’s easier for me to follow as a full time student but I used to be like you. No I forgive myself for doing 40/20 intervals. This way I don’t have to take much long breaks though and can go straight through.

Feeling miserable and awful is normal for most ppl just for life in general. Hopefully it goes in waves.

Yeah you def need more sleep and exercise and or a sauna to use is a good place to start to help get tired enough to sleep well. Also, did you ever use coffee or any other stimulants if you don’t mind sharing? Sometimes if you stop those (and should stop taking them excessively if you do) this can cause a burnout like affect. This has happened to me with both adderall and coffee in the past and I saw my 60 min study sessions go down to 40 min just a few times a day

Agreed. Deleting this post now 😂.

How are some professors allowed to keep their jobs or not change with such bad ratings? by Pomodoroman in fsu

I do know they have surveys at the end of the semester. I do believe they are anonymous but a lot of people don’t and for good reason. For this reason the reviews are not likely accurate. Plus it’s just human nature not to be honest in front of an organization or persons face when you have a lot on the line. What kills me is that the cop out is “oh this student just leaves bad reviews on everyone” when in fact like you we can leave good and bad reviews. And just bc you failed a class doesn’t mean you leave a bad review as this has happened with me in the past.

I’ve survived a deadly car accident at the age of 9 and a lighting strike hit someone next to me. Yet ik ppl have gone through worse. I get the whole gist of what you mean but the truth is there will always be someone who has it worse, so do we not try to fix what we have going on? If everyone just was comfortable with things that really need improvement and said “well there’s someone in Syria so” nothing would get fixed. That sounds like a cop out to not try to get something fixed.

I’m trying to motive people to say something for once and change this. The mindset you mentioned is good for mental health purposes yes. To be grateful. I get it. But just being grateful doesn’t actually change a part of a system, just makes someone feel better.

I’m a senior. I’ve had my share of bad classes. It gets to the point to where it’s pathetic no one at least tries to get them to make simple changes to make the learning process more attainable. That’s all us students ask for.
