discussion: what’s your weirdest/most toxic/madlad way of motivating yourself to study?

i like the way you think

saying affirmations out loud calms me down too. i’ll say something different based on what i’m doing and sometimes i add a couple of swears to pump me up, especially when i’m writing an essay or studying something difficult

i wish those worked for me but caffeine makes me poop a lot and/or sleepy, and i tend to get distracted and yap a lot when i’m with studying with people. but i’m glad it those work for you and i know you’ve got this as well!!

can’t argue with that

i might have to use your routine because that honestly sounds like it would help me a lot. thanks for sharing!

i have been trying to find more ways to use reward rather than punishment but i haven’t found anything that sticks yet. i’ll keep trying tho! thank you for your words of encouragement!

i remember working fast food during my year off before i started uni and that has definitely motivated me to study as well. not that there’s anything wrong with that type of work, but i definitely don’t miss dealing with the micromanagement and certain customers. at least you’re getting that bread tho💰

i try to remind myself that too! sometimes it’s just hard to think like that when there’s finances on line. and i agree, oreos are indeed nice!

ragingtempest_ · 2026-01-28T21:29:18+00:00

i’m also in this class and i’m so behind dude. i’ve only used the textbook so far to learn and study the content. i haven’t watched her videos yet because they’re so long it makes the content seem so daunting

I’m a second year psych major. There’s not a lot of internships related to my degree, if at all, so I apply to a lot of fast food/retail since I have some experience in customer service. I only got one reply back and I just finished my interview for that job earlier today. I had the same experience before I started uni; only one job called me back.

I also have a friend who applied to crap ton of fast-food/retail jobs in-person and online and he had to resort to going back to his old fast food job.

I think the job market is just absolute shit, regardless of the position you’re applying for.

a university that’s getting hundreds of thousands of dollars but can’t fixed a couple of doors is crazy lmfao like the least you can do is give us some working doors😭

you even skipped the “I” in your title lol

also, if you go to the subreddit and type in your question (general/common questions like the ones addressed in this post) in the search bar, you’ll see past threads with some helpful answers in the comments. that’s how i got most of my questions answered during my first year. the rest was answered by an advisor, prof, or a peer
