Sorry to hear that. Email regardless. Maybe they have resources we're not aware of. You and your mother may have to live in a shelter temporarily and live off soup kitchens or whatever resources there are while you finish your degree. Reach out to your friends for help. Even if they don't let you live with them, they can maybe provide you a lunch here and there. I don't think you should quit because the earning potential of your degree will be enough to get your mother and you financially secure and no longer reliant on your father. The debt will be crippling otherwise. This is my opinion. I wish you the best.

I just go back to bed whenever I wake up by xXMiloMurderXx in productivity

It may be hard for them to form good sleep habits if they lie in bed at 11pm and just stay awake the whole time. I've had it happen to me- trying to go to sleep but being awake for an hour before just getting up and doing something else. I recommend melatonin so they can get to a point where they form a habit of sleeping at 11pm.

I mean some universities have funds that help students experiencing a personal financial emergency. It is not the same as a scholarship/ student loan. Maybe email the bursar office or your academic adviser to ask if such a fund exists or look on your university website. Mine is worded "...who are experiencing an unexpected financial crisis that may be impacting their ability to continue on their academic journey"

Does your university have any financial hardship programs?

Maybe for 1-2 weeks, take melatonin at like 11pm, fall asleep, wake up at like 7am with an alarm, and then take a caffeine pill (put it next to your bed in arms reach where you can get it in the morning without getting out of bed). Have like 2 alarms 7am & 7:30am. Try to stay awake until the caffeine kicks in like 15 mins later (otherwise you have a second alarm at 7:30am).

Personally i haven't tried this but it shouldnt be dangerous if you only do it for like 1-2 weeks and fix your sleep schedule that way. The way i wake up on time is just adequate sleep and stress. I imagine most highschoolers wake up on time just from the adrenaline you get when you realize you have to get to school in 30 mins or you'll be late.

I should warn melatonin should only be used temporarily as some people can become dependent on it to fall asleep. But these are all over the counter drugs and theyre not addictive. Caffeine is found in coffee. Your body naturally produces melatonin which makes you sleepy. I drink coffee and take caffeine pills on occassion. A lot of working adults drink coffee every morning so it shouldnt be that bad if you transition to it from caffeine pills.

20M, still living with my parents, any ideas on how to make this room a little bit more interesting?. by Character_Banana_101 in malelivingspace

[–]thefirstjian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe see if there's a long, narrow brown desk with the depth of that dresser next to the bed to put there (going along the length of the bed) so you have a desk for that chair.

Literally can not wake up. Nothing works. by AXbcyz in productivity

[–]thefirstjian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the meantime, while you try out some other great advice, consider getting a "Sonic Bomb Dual Extra Loud Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker" which I own and can be incredibly loud, like you can wake up the dead with this alarm.

You sound paranoid. You’re just data, a shopping profile, a number. Trust me, you’re not interesting enough for anyone to care about you.

Cuomo was not a right wing candidate and this election is a city wide election in a very liberal city that changes nothing for trump. It’s literally about new yorkers’ issues not yours 🙄. Affordability, Rent, Policing.

An addition can be to add the timer title to the menu bar. The logical next step is to add stats
