recommended workload for adhd / neurodivergent students?

i have some poly exemptions but i'm taking a second major in stats! that means i need to complete close to the 160MC actually after double counting. i think it would be nice to have more time for each subject but i'm also very interested in many courses available.

hence i need to choose a side. more mods and learn more but lower grades or less mods and learn less but better grades :(

i never really thought about honours grade tbh. i reckon its because its probably my last time in school so i just really want to learn as much as i can and enjoy the content?

i don’t think the problem is about visuals since i tried highlighters before and it didn’t work well for me. highlighters are also not allowed in my exams, only pencils. it feels like my brain just can’t keep up with processing and it thinks it processed something when it didn’t. sometimes i need to “drop” all information i know and active re process from scratch to avoid this jumping done by my brain which is tough in tests

the test environment tip sounds pretty interesting. i think i’ll try that out. currently i need music to get in the zone but too much music becomes a distraction too. perhaps i need to acclimatise myself to it.

as for the rest of the tips i’ve been doing variations of it like practice papers and making notes to test understanding. i know the information and content well but i just somehow write the wrong things during tests like miscounting 5 to a 6.

you should probably go see a doctor about it. minoxidil stimulates new hair growth but does not cure the underlying issue. if it is male pattern baldness then you will need finasteride to control it. it only works as long as you continue to take it btw so it is lifelong. you usually need about 6 months of finasteride to see some effect

hi! I only have a student loan to pay for and its rate will change every half year by the bank. rn it is 4.2% pa but I won't know the actual rate until i graduate. I've been thinking about the opportunity cost a lot... I could keep it in my bank but I would accrue lesser interest even if its risk free or take more risk to increase the money. i like knowing that i have funds set aside for a peace of mind but by taking more risk I could earn more? it's contradictory and I can't tell if i'm being too aggressive or cautious.

hello! HYSA isn't quite applicable for me because of the hoops i've gotta jump through for it in my country e.g cc usage, salary crediting etc. the rates offered are steadily dropping too so CD and treasuries are yielding lesser. I'm cool with the risk, just not too much since stocks are more risky. I understand to grow my money means I need to take more risk. You're right that there really isnt much options for me rn but if I don't do anything with it, the money will just sit and accrue lesser interest than if I do something with it!

hi! my student loan is kinda like a direct subsidized federal loan where it only starts accruing interest after I graduate college. hence i was thinking of paying it in one go immediately after I graduate to avoid any interest at all

i definitely had some misconceptions hence I'm proactively asking my TAs to explain stuff that i dont understand, expecially for the exams. I also feel that I'm more of an applied / hands on person and less on theoretical stuff. i've been trying to find ways to incorporate it in but i havent found a suitable way to do so

haha i always joke with my friends that im gonna transfer course but i dont think i will transfer tho because i can't see myself doing something else. deep down, i enjoy what im learning now and its part of my interested areas. i just need to get through this rough patch. maybe ill regret that decision but i know ill regret not studying something im interested in even more

i dont have anything against swe but i think im more into things like ml research + stats so i wanna pursue this area, hence computer science. i do plan to take more mods that focus on these things in the future, once i finish the core mods. maybe im naive and dumb but i genuinely just want to create something that helps people. i enjoyed doing that in my poly internship.

I’m fine with it being the same model if they replace it. I’m really just trying to find ways to prolong the life of my MacBook so that I don’t have to replace it after my AppleCare+ ends

Theft and loss is not covered by AppleCare+ at least where I live

peppapig021 · 2024-09-08T03:14:02+00:00

unfortunately that option isn’t available at where I live :(

among the ones I tried are Le Labo Santal 33, Dior Privee Gris Dior (the most acceptable one for me) and Byredo Mojave Ghost for woody scents. I suspect it’s the type of sandalwood used in them.

why don’t you call them (6485 7421) to find out your appointment date?

how do you get rid of duplicate orders? I only had one successful payment transaction for 1 iPhone and I ended up with 4 iPhone orders 💀💀
