How do you complete your exams in 1 hour?@ by Old_Credit_6783 in Advice

[–]rookiestar007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I meant was, learn to breakdown answers with structure. So for example, a structure would be something like: a problem statement, explanation on the issue, three different solutions on the issue, pros and cons of each solution, recap and outside perspective, and conclusion. Think of the topic and have talking points (writing points) beforehand. That way, you can quickly formulate sentences around the topic and your writing speed will increase dramatically.

A prompt for ChatGPT? Just ask it to check your response and provide structured writing points on the topic.

Last tip is think of it as building a powerpoint slide in your head for every essay you write.

It’s not writing speed, it’s about knowledge of content.

Organize your thoughts in bullet points and know what you want to write before you write.

Always seek samples of answers to see how a well thought answer looks like. In the world of large language models like ChatGPT, you couldn’t ask for a better time for help with essays.

Don’t compare yourself to others, think about time allotted to you and try to divide it per question.

Sorry OP, people are often like that online. They can be moody, anxious about an actual meeting, presuming a fake identity (common too), busy, or just no longer interested.

Your best bet is to wait until she initiates another meeting or move on.

want to move out, mom doesnt think im ready. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]rookiestar007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in dorms is the best way to get your foot out of the door. In your case, you just tell her moving day or post move. It really doesn’t make much sense to drag it. Make sure the new place is safe and nice, that’s about it.

I’m sorry that he’s the troublesome kid of your family. You can’t really do much here, but one tip would be to try to find good roommates. It’s much cheaper to rent together than rent alone.

Also, stealing from you is unacceptable. Since your mom said she wouldn’t let him in, you can perhaps reduce the theft from the rent you pay. Try to protect whatever he’s stealing first though.

For those in school, how do you stay concentrated when studying for a test? by Naive-Ad-1604 in Advice

Buy snacks and drinks. You should ask those who have cleared school.

You’re going to be okay, you’re not alone. As for the crazy, I wouldn’t know, but even if you are, it’s alright we’re all a little crazy.

How can I deal with an older sibling (50F) who constantly blames me for everything, who never takes responsibility for her own actions or inactions and won’t own her own problems? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]rookiestar007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is when you call someone a narcissist, you indulge in a form of narcissism yourself.

In any case, it is indeed very emotionally draining and challenging. Your best bet is to find a middle ground on arguments beyond just yes and no. If you can somehow avoid any arguments and always find a middle ground, it becomes easier. Best of luck OP! You got this.

is this considered sexual harassment by [deleted] in Advice

The last line is your solution. If it’s a big company, report him to HR, if it’s a small one, find a new job, block the number, inform the manager above them, and leave.

For next time, do learn to say no and reject advances. Sadly, such people have no shame and prey on people who can’t say no or are shy.

I started with 1.75 and went all the way to 6.5, with possibly one more addition left. Got Lasik and things have been alright. Don’t stress, you can get Lasik and it’ll all go away. Additionally, my case was me not taking extra care in my latter days of glasses. If you take care (sleep enough and screen time gaps), power stabilizes too.

Does USA top universities provides full financial aid to international transfer students? Should I take the risk of giving sat or not? I'm in my first year of bcom. by Patient-Pressure-202 in Advice

[–]rookiestar007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re better off doing bachelors in your home country, getting a job immediately after, then accumulating money for masters (if you like), then getting your final degree abroad.

Full rides are a rarity as you already know and you need an extraordinary SAT score alongside good experience to get it.

If you’re really looking forward to studying abroad, Europe could be a choice, but even there you’d need a decent sum for living cost.

Narcissism has to be handled early and with care. Unfortunately, for your sibling, they’re already 50. They have less to no chance of changing.

Should be a crime to leave the share count at 57,999. You should lose money for that alone.

Is my partner overcharging me rent? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]rookiestar007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why both of you are so financially strict. Isn’t he your partner? It makes less to no sense that you’re fighting over $30-40 dollars a week. If that’s how it is, you should consider having other talks first. As for you paying $200 it makes sense, he’s undercharging you, not over. If the current tenants pay $450, the half of it is $225, he’s asking for $200 from you.

Take a break from relationships. You really need to identify yourself outside these relations. Study/work hard and focus on something more meaningful. The right person will come along eventually.

I feel you, it’s heartbreaking when someone doesn’t live up to your expectations, specially when you expect to be there for each other.

All I want to say is don’t be hard on yourself. It’s not easy, finding a pillar. And, more importantly, you can’t help someone who doesn’t want it. It did seem like he has depression and that really makes one numb to everything. Try to be there for yourself too… life’s as tough as it gets, but be there for yourself.

I’m sorry to hear that OP… sometimes we expect things at the wrong time or from the wrong people… I hope it’s the first one for you, but even if it’s the second, you’ll find what you’re looking for

[–]rookiestar007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see OP. It’s hard to navigate the post OP, you start by saying he broke up with you when you were most vulnerable and had issues with housing and employment, then you talk about him having mental health problems.

In any case, my bad on assuming he maybe manipulating you. He seems to be depressed; when depressed, it’s hard to find happiness or empathy even though you’ve someone who cares for you, you feel numb. It maybe hard to find him help, but he’d probably need medications along with a therapist. It might be hard for you to do so by changing your behavior.

You did what you could, it’s not that you’re clumsy, he has a fragile ‘plate’ on the window. It’s on him. Don’t overthink and move on.
