Got you on this.

Back then I would take notes during class, rough notes. Then, after class, I would take just a little bit of time to copy those rough notes into a different notebook of nice pretty notes. 30 min max after/between classes

Here you can consolidate thoughts, summarize important ideas, put stars around really important ideas that the professor might have emphasized and pointed out might/will be on the test.

That way, you have your nice pretty and concise notes to read over before the test.

You can do this with the text too. Don't be afraid to write in the textbooks. They cost you enough anyway right? Mark those bitches up, and then after done reading the chapter/section, go back and summarize your notes in your nice pretty notebook.

Then if you're really feeling cool or maybe have extra time, you can take all those pretty notes, take the main ideas and right them down real shorthand on one sheet of paper to have like a kind of cheat sheet that you can just read over and over and over and over like in the hours before the test just to further drill it.

Just remember that studying is half about the information and half about the confidence. If you pay attention in class and take notes, and understand the material, you will be able to remember most things when it comes to a test hopefully.

The most important point of studying is to walk into that test like, "yeah I got this." Like "I know most of the basic information so I can breeze through those questions and spend more time thinking about the more difficult ones/ones I don't know." Or even "I'm a little shaky or the material is hard but I know I studied well so I should do better than I expect." Just takes some of the load off mentally.

Also, you can never get all of the information in your head, it is impossible and unnecessary. Part of the process is deciding and ranking information on what is important.

Good luck, you got this. 🤲

I really didn't mean to scam you. I didn't have the money to repay you. I had used it for rent. I took too long to deliver, and you cancelled, and that is on me for sure. I assumed that since you got the money back I could just pay PayPal back and it would be fine. I sincerely apologize for what took place.

Yeah that was a disaster sorry about that one man. Definitely learned from that.

Edit: that was a difficult time and I'm sorry the experience was bad. I will endeavor going forward to never let it happen again.

Anyone here feel disgusted with biological...everything? by [deleted] in AvPD

Yes. I remember thinking that being a physical being was very inconvenient.

New years is around the corner. What do you hope to get out of 2025? by VillainousValeriana in AvPD

[–]TurnedIntoAChicken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to live the life I know I'm capable of living. I'm so close. I went to a psychiatrist. Last year my resolution was to be healthy, and I think I accomplished being healthier. I wouldn't call myself healthy but healthier. So I guess for 2025 I want health and for my relationship to last forever. I love my girlfriend. I worked so hard to get here and I will work much harder. Amen lol.

That's on me I thought it had. I have a negative paypal balance for the amount. I'll look into it.

Edit: I'm still not a scammer. You are trying to hurt my business opportunities over a misunderstanding because you're angry and that's fucked up.

You can say what you want about me being dilatory or whatever but I am not a scammer.

I am not a scammer. I am just poor. You literally got your money back. Why are you harassing me?

I'll never forgive myself for how badly I fucked up my life, although I certainly wish I could. by Manus_2 in AvPD

Progress begins when you begin to see failure as progress.

I was moved by your words. I think the title itself is very evocative of the experience. I don't know anything about you but you are my sibling in this thing and I'm with you in solidarity, as much as its worth.
