got my marks i got 7 math 8 physics 12 chem /40

[calm tide]

I did one from 2018 to 2021 in IT

[thorn pilot]

is it risky ? like if u do it would u get a job immediately?

[calm tide]

risky in what way? So it technically it's a job contract that also incudes you going to school (Berufsschule) once or twice a week. So what I'm trying to say is that in some way it is quite a big commitment because the Ausbildung will take 3 years for most professions, however there is quite a long time of "Probezeit" (I believe for me it was 6 months). So the Probezeit is a time frame that pretty much treats your contract as a trial time. So within that time eihter you or the company you work and learn in can say "Nah this doesn't work out between us". So if you don't like it you are not stuck for 3 years in that job, you can simply leave, without having to give a reason or without a deadline (you can leave within a day). So in that sense it is not risky because you can just give it a try without much consequence, however past that trial time you are more committed and if you start to dislike it after that it get's a little harder to leave as there are some legal things to go through. About the job: yes, you are part of a team with tasks immediately from day one, however there is of course a long period of time where you get to learn how things work first, before you start taking responsibility yourself. So you don't have to worry about performing right away as the whole point of the Ausbildung is learning a profession. You will have someone responsible for you who is always on your side and who can aswer your questions

[thorn pilot]

thank youuuuu

[calm tide]

if there is anything else just dm me, I'm happy to help

[thorn pilot]

ofcc thanks again

Hey guys, im planning to enter college overseas but im finding it pretty impossible to write my personal statement. Any tips or advice would help, appreciated!

[desert pine]

what are you applying for? and where?

[slate hare]

Either comp sci or cyber security, havent decided yet

[desert pine]

you could try and do something unique

with that IT in mind

look if you had read any books or smn

[finite urchin]

You guys could try forest. Especially the desktop version is really nice and sync it to your phone.

[outer surge]

hey guys, i have my finals coming up in 1 month and ive been suffering with clinical depression for 8 months now and it has gotten worse and its hard for me to study even for abit, was wondering if any of yall have any advice or tips to help me out even if its a bit. thank you guys yall are the best.

[north zenith]

Hi, I might not be experienced, but I would say try studying like you teach someone, or have someone near you who could keep you motivated, or try replacing the thoughts by the examination pressure thoughts.

I hope it might help

[desert pine]

heya!

Get meds. Really. I was "against" meds to, but they helped me A LOT. To prevent from stressing for your results, getting meds can help you focus and get some work done. Reach out to your care-giver and I hope they can help you further!
You are not alone.
Take care of yourself

[outer surge]

thank you for the advice Ali, ill make sure to follow them

[outer surge]

thank you so much Gilles, I'll try to ask my doctor for suitable meds for my condition and take them, genuinely appreciate the help...thanks again...i hope life will treat yall well✌️

[north zenith]

Hi, I am a 12 grade student, I gave my 11 board exams the results of which are going to be announced soon, the pressure is real because I am in a state of very tough competition, no matter what I try I can't take myself out of this competitive environment then I realise it's necessary to be in competition cuz it makes me out extra effort, if anyone has a tip to share to overcome competitive thinking.

Another highly important thing is I wanna think logically and critically, I had always been doing what is in the syllabus, never going out of that, but now I feel like I am way behind whenever I see asking high logical questions and I keep thinking how one can think about this. If someone could also help me develop this skill

[desert pine]

what do you mean by "logical"

like actual logical mathematics

[north zenith]

I mean like you are having a lecture and one of the students asks very high conceptual questions that require you to think logically , I mean like going out of the syllabus to understand the concepts, I tried to made it clear

[desert pine]

I woudnt say "logical" its more a metaphysical point of view

it is a way of thinking where you look at the system as a whole and not just a specific chapter or point if you see what i mean

and you will use logic, indeed, to state these questions

but they get into a MP-pov

i have shit professors, in a sense they dont even answer those questions, or say they dont get it, in order to not answer

so cant help with that mate

[north zenith]

You understood what I was tryna say, and also thx for considering

[lofty jolt]

guys so m an english major and rn i need to fiinish an essay but i can't find many of the books m looking for , i used anna's archive , z-lib nothing works is there any site u could suggest

[north zenith]

Tysm, I will try my best

[reef mauve]

Hey guyss if I'm like not even a begginer in coding and stuff what and where should I learn it?

[zealous prism]

programming is one of the most common things that people self-learn

i don't have any resources on hand, but... i guarantee you'll find a ton of resources or even full tutorials by just asking google or looking on youtube for a tutorial for a common programming language such as python

[young umbra]

Hey guys,
I'm doing a project / research about Studying Abroad. and I need your help!
My hypothesis: The process of completing a learning agreement and going on a study exchange is too complicated; therefore, fewer students are studying internationally and the small % of students who are going, find themself having difficulties with the process.

If you care about helping students, this survey is for you! (It takes approximately 2 minutes and 28 seconds to complete.)

[cedar phoenix]

Heyy guyss!!!! Very out of the blue question but how do y'all discover new songs or genre...... (Not the trending ones)

[zealous prism]

i let youtube algorithm play automatically 😂

you can try to listen what other people listen to in #music-recs-without-context or any other server you're in that might have a music channel

[safe grove]

on spotify, i listen to discover weekly, and if theres a song i like, i click on the song and go to song radio

thats how i find out more songs from that genre

[cedar phoenix]

Okkaayyy I'll try that

Thannkkk youuu

[cedar phoenix]

Well I have done this but yt don't have good recommendations for me yk, that's why I asked

[cedar phoenix]

Alrighttt

[strong saddle]

it's just a shuffling option

like on any given playlist

[safe grove]

oh the shuffle with sparkles

[strong saddle]

yessir

[safe grove]

I used to like that but I was just tired of hearing some old random songs in my playlist

how do you guys avoid procrastinating and just wasting time, i got an exam coming up in around 2 weeks I’ve done 1/6 chapters, I jus end up lookin at YouTube or playing a game or looking through reddit, would love to know what works for you guys

[zealous prism]

that reminds me that i have an exam coming in around two weeks

personally, i make it so that accessing the things that i would rather do is not an option

i don't have much of an issue avoiding youtube or reddit, but for video games for example, i just don't have games on my laptop

none on my phone

make your environment so that you end up so bored that you have no option other than to study

[storm fjord]

honestly sounds great but I’ve tried it and i do end up studying a couple hours but after that i get so damn bored i just start scrolling or something

that’s how I finished one chapter at least haha

it is a pretty big exam though and i just tell myself i still got time

i might just pull the plug and go full offline

but a part of me is just begging me not to thinking of boredom

[zealous prism]

being comfortable with being bored is definitely among the top ten things i've been able to discipline myself to do

[storm fjord]

Yeah everyone tells me that but i just havent had the courage to

how’s you manage the boredom at first? Just pushing through it and it gets better eventually?

[zealous prism]

to be honest, i never really had a boredom issue to begin with
i never had social media, never had much to watch on youtube, nothing i was really interested in scrolling or watching when i was younger
so i never built a dopamine reliance on that sort of stuff

i played games, but tbh i've played those same games so many times it's gotten more boring playing them than it is to just do work instead

in every day life... instead of looking at my phone during my downtime, i like to just observe my surroundings, look out the window
not much to say about that, basically having a curiosity about the world replaces staring at my phone

when studying... that's a bit different, depending on whether you're doing deep work or doing regular studying like pomodoro
if you're doing deep work, you're probably pretty invested into what you're doing, hence you're inherently not bored
if you're doing pomodoro, then make sure you're taking breaks long enough for you to recover a little bit from focusing, but short enough that you don't start looking for your phone again
those breaks are extremely important to keeping you refreshed at the start of every study block, they're what really carries you to studying for a couple hours

[storm fjord]

honestly I’m really glad you havent been on social media much, it’s really so…idk

toxic

makes your brain feel so off and weird

brain fog or whatever

[storm fjord]

thanks a lot man sorry for replying late i was just busy with something

[storm fjord]

this sounds very refreshing honestly

[zealous prism]

maybe, but i think most people would find it boring - if you don't force yourself in some way to not take out your phone during slow moments in life, you're never going to develop that discipline

either way i think not having my phone in my face is a good thing, there's a rise in hateful behaviour and crimes and i'm starting to feel unsafe pulling my phone out and giving it long periods of attention on the bus or waiting for something

[zealous prism]

that's the feeling of your attention span slipping away 🤣 jokes aside, yeah, i avoid that stuff because there's no use rolling with the pigs in the mud
if it's about staying connected with people, then if someone who really wants to talk to you then they'll find some way to reach out and stay connected with you, otherwise they were probably not worth talking with in the first place

[fair ibex]

How do yall start your study session, from scratch? Say you have an exam coming up, how/with what do you start your sessions so you don't just read slides? Much appreciated!

[blissful kelp]

For me, I scan the problems first, then review it simultaneously with the notes and attempt the first problem. Then practice another similar type of question without referring at all. More often or not the problems cover the important points and learning outcomes you need to know. And you gotta engage with it by physically writing with down, not typing.

After the session, you can do what they call active recall/blurting/ spaced repetition stuff. I still kinda struggle with that but those are my tips in general.

[proper compass]

Hey guys I need help
like alot
of help
I have a question is there a study guide on here
Like a guide for study tips
cuz like i did really bad last year

[storm fjord]

Yeah I really agree I actually deleted instagram last year, and like a couple weeks ago, I downloaded it again just to see if anyone msged me or something, and holy hell the videos felt soo unbearable, I had no idea how I used to watch that, it was honestly shocking how someone using it has no idea how terrible those videos are

and i deleted my account right away last month

[undone pecan]

yeahhh

ppl should avoid short form content in general tbh

tbh, like just doing nothing for an entire day

like straight up nothing

no scrolling or watching netflix or even studying

can help u improve ur attention span

[prime rivet]

Hey, what should I do now...? I'm a senior in high school and I’ll be taking my uni entrance exam next year. I spend the whole day sitting at my desk, but I can only actually focus and study for like 30 mins. This has been going on for 6 yrs. I know I’ve got a lot of mental health stuff (ADHD, depression, past trauma, ...), but I really wanna change so I can get into the uni I dream of. I’m willing to do whatever it takes. Pls help me 🙏

[desert pine]

any idea how i can enable the lofi-bot?

[zealous prism]

i'm not sure if you know this, but a majority of people on this planet can only focus for 30 minutes at a time 😂 you're perfectly normal

you spend the entire day sitting at the desk, i'm curious how you're spending that time

one very popular and successful study method is the pomodoro technique where you set a timer for 30 minutes and just focus only during those 30 minutes
once the timer rings, you drop everything and go take a break for 10 minutes, and then come back and do it again

this takes advantage of your 30 minute focus limit by only making you work for 30 minutes and then you go eat something or take a walk, clear your mind and do it all again

if that's not what you're doing, i really suggest trying it

most people can only focus up to 30 minutes, you need to take advantage of that time and then give your mind a rest

[rancid magnet]

this is actually so true

[ebon lichen]

hey yall, i was just wondering if someone is experiencing the same issue with obsidian. i have all of my notes connected using icloud but recently it has been updating too slowly in real time, so it creates copies of the current note i am working on and it gets annoying because i have to then delete the copies.

[arctic canopy]

nah bruh

[ebon lichen]

o k

[meager kiln]

hey guys, i needed a small help, i have my uni work, in which i have to submit 10 books photos (front , back and the spine of the book) - photos of these. needs to be hard copy of the book

and then its study and thesis. so can yall send me front back cover and spine of the books yall have which has unique typography in my dm, i really need to submit it till tonight

[stuck sun]

why not using obsidian's app storage?

I feel like using your device's storage is just useless and may cause issues even worse than this

it depends on what you connect your notes with (external apps)

but if it's necessarily, then you might need to check the files settings of your vault

[sullen flame]

Does anyone studies or works in the field of mycology ??? I need urgent help in a question. ‼️

[vapid narwhal]

Hello I have a question about uni programs. I am interested in software engineering at waterloo because it is the best uni with connections to top US companies. The problem is that it is extremely competitive especially the CS and SE programs. Computer engineering and math would be much easier to get into so I was wondering for Softwar engineering career would CE be better or math.

[tough jewel]

is anyone pursuing or has already finished a post bacc program (specifically for med)? id like to ask a few questions pls dm 🙏

[frank oasis]

Hi everyone so currently studying for neet prep and i genuinely need help getting off addiction of the yt and chess.com but I have all my classes on my tablet so in my case I just can't quit devices any help would be beneficial

[crisp scaffold]

I feel like CE would be a lot better. A ton of people go into software engineering with CE majors, i cant say the same with math.

[vapid narwhal]

thank u

[crisp scaffold]

Ofc, just be a bit careful tho cuz at least in the US CE degrees have the highest unemployment rate. Also CE is becoming very competitive now since people who otherwise wouldve applied comp sci are going to CE

[vapid narwhal]

Aw damn. I saw that graph too. CS is up there too though. But this is the worst case scenario. I think i have a shot at going into CS or SE.

[crisp scaffold]

Yeah (disclaimer I’m also in the process of researching unis so i’m going off of what I heard)

But apparently part of the reason for the unemployment is that everyone is going into those majors and leaving college without knowing how to code. If you can get a high level understanding of that you’re probably fine

Either way the job market is fucked regardless of what you go into

[vapid narwhal]

yeah

i heard you gotta grind and if not youre cooked

like grind outside of your uni work

leetcode and projects

Hey guys I'm going to start a server on Discord on Phenomenology if anyone is interested

[young umbra]

good morning

[strong lantern]

Hey everyone,
I’m a US citizen but did all my schooling + bachelor’s in India. Now I’m looking to do my Master’s in the US, and I am confused about the application process for my case (Aiming for Spring 2026 intake). I have narrowed down my list to the universities I would like to apply on my own since no study consultancy is ready to help me for career guidance.
Are there things I should know as a US citizen with an overseas degree? Any tips, personal experiences, or resources would be awesome.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

I’m in the process of shortlisting universities for my master’s in finance and would love to connect with current students to get some genuine insights about the programs and campus life.
Here are the schools I’ve shortlisted so far:
Rutgers Business School, NJ
George Mason University, VA
Arizona State University, AZ
UMass Amherst, MA
Florida International University, FL
If you’re currently studying a business or finance course at any of these universities, please feel free to reach out. Thank you so much!

[split hinge]

did you submit it?

[proven lava]

stay away from ASU

[strong lantern]

oh, why do you say that?

[ionic apex]

Hey everyone, I've been struggling to stay productive and on track with my schedule lately. I sit down to get work done, but then I get sidetracked by YouTube or other stuff and completely lose my focus. It's tough to break out of that cycle, especially when I keep waiting for the 'right time' to start.
Has anyone dealt with this before? Any advice on how to stop procrastinating and actually stick to a schedule? I'm open to any tips you've got!

[vapid narwhal]

Yes i dealt with it

You have to download a website blocker like freedom on your PC and use the locked mode and block websites like youtube reddit etc

i also use pomodoro timer which helps a lot and i say to myself i can not stop working or get distracted no matter what until my time runs out and i get my five minute or ten minute break

[elder kettle]

What time scheme do you use for your pomodoros?

Also does anyone have any tips for making a simple to-do list?

[zealous prism]

yea

just write it

TO DO
*[day/time] - what you need to do

you can think about making it fancy once you've built up the habit of actually making the list... actually writing it down is the most important thing to get down

[zealous prism]

nothing personal in my schedule this week, so here's my to-do list

just write things down

[opaque oxide]

You have interesting handwriting

[zealous prism]

[forest isle]

Hey y'all I've been waking up at 3 am and studying till 12pm with 50/10 minutes intervals, I actually haven't had issues with that but It's really difficult to stay awake till 7pm because of the lack of energy, does someone have any for that?

[desert pine]

study less mate

for if you have to, study as much, but divide into 2 big chuncks with a bigger break in between

drink tea instead of coffee, eat fruits

[zealous prism]

you know how people go to work all day, come home and have no energy?

yeah that's you

you're basically working 9 hours with an accumulated 1 hour 30 minute break in between

as previously suggested, study less if you can afford it, my suggestion, set an alarm for an hour and just take a nap

ideally do both as needed

[sudden raven]

does anyone knows where to find the "leaked" consulting reports from Gartner, GigaOM, BCG for free 🥲

[forest isle]

Ty for the advice, and yeah, I drink a lot of green tea

[forest isle]

Ty, I'll try your suggestions

[desert pine]

any time! have fun mate

[sharp ginkgo]

anyone have any tips for not losing pencils lol, i bought a rotring 600 and i lost it on like the second day of school lmao

[young umbra]

just keep sure to keeping track of returning the things that went out of ur bag and make sure once and twice it's there
as someone who lost alot of pens & pencils in school
i can assure u this the only way
and not having too much options too
like just have 2 pens and one pencil only with u
dont bring more than that daily

[sharp ginkgo]

gotchu chief, i bought a rotring 800 as a replacement and it’s like 3 times expensive so i’m kinda worried to lose it again

[young umbra]

u wont hopefully

[zealous prism]

that's a good ask

i've never had issues keeping track of my gear

if i were to think on why that is... it's probably just as johan previously suggested

if something is coming out of my bag, it's only those few items, they stay in my line of sight, and they return to the bag when i leave

if i need to like, go to the bathroom and leave my bag in the classroom, whatever i took out which is valuable either goes back into the bag (and the bag zipped) or into my pocket

i daily drive fountain pens that cost like 2x the rotring 800 and they're treated that way, either they're in my bag, in my hand/in my view, or in my pocket and at the end of the class, they're returning into my bag

[sacred sapphire]

how do i make friends senior year when i've been nerding out all of hs?? i know everyone but i can't find myself interested in anyone enough to befriend them and have fun talks and all

[oak cedar]

Ok I have a small question

Watch some anime
Or
Watch a lecture and Learn something

Here's the thing

I can't sleep coz there's a really loud gathering of people right outside my house and the noise is keeping me awake

[oak cedar]

Anyone here just tell me one thing to choose from this

[young umbra]

lecture ofc

[meager raft]

Hi, im new here. Im from Spain. Hope we get on well 😁

[thorny swan]

Hello

[visual meteor]

are there any chemical engineering transfers from cc to uni i can ask questions to 😭

[shut nexus]

can you use your phone?

[ruby shore]

Hey ,I have a question that's very out of context but if anyone is willing to help kindly reply to me .

[shut nexus]

go ahead

in the meantime i have a question too, how do you guys plan your day? do you use a notebook, physical planner or just an app on your phone?

im trying to find the right way to do it

[desert pine]

normally i use a self-made planner or a checklist, but i picked up the planner from james. its actually very nice!

highly suggest it

[ruby shore]

How do I know if I'm being scammed by the counselor that I'm connected with for my college shortlisting and application process for study abroad?

[shut nexus]

i think we will need to know more but just for what you are saying if you feel like that there is a reason to be concerned

[ruby shore]

I have used both notion as well as physical dairy and i prefer the physical notebook as it's just the way my brain works best with ..if you haven't tried both ..give both of them a try for alternative weeks and see which one your brain corresponds with the most

[shut nexus]

ty

[ruby shore]

I know right... appreciate your input

If there's anyone here preparing to study abroad and have some knowledge on this matter ..do help okay

[onyx marlin]

Any tips on studying more effectively so I can spend time doing things i want to do.

[silent shoal]

I'd suggest learning how to focus more and training ur focus

(just heard that in a james vid and am going to do it so good luck)

it was like 2-3 yrs old

title: how to study better (by a study tryhard)

he also mentioned a few more points so i'd suggest you watch it cuz I'm a terrible explainer

[silent shoal]

yo also found this while randomly checking james' website faq
studying:
how do I study better?
practice. you have to approach it like learning a new skill. push yourself slightly above your upper limit consistently and you will get better. if you push yourself too hard you will burnout. there is a balance of pushing yourself too hard and just hard enough to get peak improvement. I have had a lot a lot of practice. I also have a video dicussing this topic.

best thing I found about this topic honestly all the other ppl just say "you have to approach learning right" but personally I think most ppl just have a problem with focus not the way to memorize or understand stuff

hope all this helps

[onyx marlin]

Thank you, man, I appreciate it.

[shut nexus]

Is there someone here interested in learning spanish? I can help with that in exchange for helping me with my pronunciation in English

I’m doing my associates at a community college cause no local uni offers a program for it so hopefully I can transfer out of state with the program they have here

I’m genuinely being cooked by it right now the course load for an associates is wicked

18 credit back to back semesters

At least I’ll be able to transfer pretty much as a junior for university

It’s such a drag though especially with working 35 hours a week

We’re gonna prevail though

[silent shoal]

Hi there friend:) I use forest, focus friend and pomocat when I study. Ive mainly been using forest recently though because I feel more focused when I study with others. Focus friend has a fun point system but no way to study with others and Pomocat has a pomodoro timer and a study with friends feature but its not very well known. Hope this helps

[valid vessel]

Hi Hi! A few quick tips off the top of my head i've used personally. Some of these you may or may not have heard before

1. Before presentation- Practice, Practice, Practice. Practicing in a space that mimics the environment you'll be presenting in is preferable because it works as a kind of exposure therapy. Its ideal to be standing, speaking aloud not in your head, and with another person - friends, family, your pet (if they can sit still long enough), or even a crowd of stuffed animals. practice, practice, practice. memorizing the main points or a script for the first 2-3ish mins is also very helpful since your not worrying as much about the content as much as the audience watching

2. During Presentation - I've found it quite helpful to have something small in one of my hands while presenting. It could be an eraser, a ring, a pencil or a presenter remote if your using one. Anything small or discreet should do. Give it the occasional fiddle or squeeze throughout your presentation, like your own personal stress ball, to help reduce your nervous energy, improve your focus and keep you grounded while presenting

3. Last presentation tip is to make eye contact (I know it can be difficult, hear me out). Eye contact helps connect the presenter to their audience by mimicking 1 on 1 conversation. if direct eye contact throughout the audience is too difficult (it still is for me), you can still create the illusion of eye contact by looking around the room and focusing on an object nearby that persons head, looking at their forehead or the top of their heads. If they are at a distance they wont be able to tell the difference 🙂

These have helped me through the countless presentations I've done solo over the past few years and I hope they help you as well. I'm rooting for you!

[little rock]

thank you, helps a lot!

guys how do u keep going when u have self doubt and all u did in school previously was procrastinate and fail ? I wanna believe I'm gonna pass however I don't have evidence of that due to my negative experience previously, I'm so demotivated but I want to study and not believe my thoughts fhwrgfiwgfiegruiegfwief help

[young umbra]

past is gone already , u cant be living ur past again and again
what happened in the past did already happened u cant change it , but what u can change is ur future , & ofc u did some mistakes in the past and indeed u will fail if u keep doing them too , but indeed if u kept doing ur best and kept moving forward with always being accountable for ur mistakes and kept fixing what's going wrong u will 100% succeed
so self doubt will just be gone when u just keep moving forward and at least it wont exist when u already know that u give all ur effort with anything
all the best !!

[edgy crow]

thank youuu

[young umbra]

ur wlcm
and just to know
u will keep doing mistakes and it's okay to fail but always remember u dont have to be harsh on urself , being patient and being there for urself will be always helping u to keep moving forward

[edgy crow]

I have this tendency of always putting high expectations on myself and I often struggle with an all or nothing mindset. thos

this led to severe procrastination that genuinely harmed me and my academic path

and even tho I have a low self esteem in the moment I'm gonna keep going

I sometimes forget that I'm a person too and I always feel like I could've done more , I could have done more tbh. but Ig I was unconsciously proving the belief that '' I don't deserve success" and "being successful will get be bullied and harmed" which was true in the past but today is no longer the case

I gotta change how I perceive success in relation to myself

[young umbra]

that's perfectionism
try to give any book abt it a try , did read joy of imperfection by Damon Zahariades was a good one

[edgy crow]

damn , that seems good , I'll give it a read

thank u so much

[young umbra]

failure is part of the journey tho , and u need to know that ofc it happening is a possibility but that possibility keeps decreasing since u r moving forward and doing ur best. what happened in the past already happened dont keep remembering what could've done but work on what is on ur hand and remember, u actually deserve success just like anyone else, the past doesn’t define u anymore. success now means growth, peace and proving to urself that u can , not something to be scared of

[young umbra]

ur wlcm !

[edgy crow]

yeah I do fucking deserve success and it's all between me and me. fuck everyone else who harmed me it's all about today and growth (srry for cursing I'm just kinda angry but in a good way lol)

[young umbra]

lol no worries
u have got thhis !!

hell yeahh

[young umbra]

Just need any tips how to stop it

[sullen crag]

Oh well I’d say that really specific to what you day to day looks like it’s really personal

It’s mostly about recognizing patterns and where those lead you.
On days you binge, are you eating enough during the day?
Before binges, is there something emotional you’re feeling that you’re trying to suppress?
What kind of food do you typically binge on? (That you may not be allowing yourself to eat within reason)

Just acknowledging what triggers you and what you can do to block it. For me, big triggers were… feeling stressed, large bags of snacks (that I deemed as unhealthy or “healthy snacks” so it was okay to eat more in my head but it still made me sick), and of course body image issues. So my ways of helping it was noticing how I’m feeling and trying to catch myself before anything happens, less food shopping of just junk, and more deeper healing on body image issues

It’s so difficult to give advice when I don’t really know what you go through unless you had a specific question

Does anyone have some good resources for studying both the SAT and the ACT?

[onyx marlin]

Y'all, how do I study maths the right way? Like, there are so many different variations of sums of a single concept, and a chapter has like 5-6 new concepts. How do I study, bro? Like it's so tough to remember all those variations - just understanding in depth doesn't make me learn it forever. I practise maths a lot too, but I am not improving. Any tips?

[steel bridge]

is anyone here from cambodia

[peak plaza]

Personally I found it better for me to remember complex topics such as math better when I tried explaining it to others. For example I got better at Calculus II when I tried teaching those concepts I was learning to other people because you are using active recall to remember what you actually learn and you are actively testing your knowledge when teaching it to others. That way instead of just remembering you actually know what you are talking about and are verbally able to explain your though process. And Constantly teaching it reinforces it in your brain to the point where you could possible remember it for a longer periods of time. This is called the Feynman technique and it personally helped me out a lot and I feel like it would be the best case for yourself as well if you want to dive deeper into it.

[gleaming hollow]

Keep a list of definitions and theorems, anything technical or math focused should get added. Every week go over the list, cover up the definition and try to remember what it was about, before checking it. Then do it again until you can think it or say it fully. Once you learn the vocabulary you should be able to express what you mean and understand what you read about math more clearly.

Hey everyone, hope you all doing well, I was wondering if there is any computer science student's here ! I want to learn about ai but actually I don't know from where to start ? And I if anyone knows where to find some free certificates in this field or python or any other language I will appreciate it .
Have a nice day 😊

[craggy tinsel]

Im also interested but don't know where to start

scam

[wanton quarry]

@drifting pagoda I think google has an AI course that is short but could give a solid start. I think AWS has a certified AI Practitioner. As far as learning I would just research more into Machine learning, Deep learning and the difference between LLMs and Generative AI. If you are interested in a project I would recommend doing a self hosted AI or learning how to create an AI agent. I'm currently not an expert in AI but I'm doing offensive security so looking to get into AI red team to expand my knowledge.

[drifting pagoda]

So we could have a plan to study together if you don't mind , m a little bit lazy 😅 so finding a study partner could help

[drifting pagoda]

Thank you so much Zach , I really appreciate all those informations . Now m going with python and i wish i'll attend pandas soon so I'll study ML and DL. That's the plan for now , idk if it's the best but let's try😅 .Hope you all the best in your studies mate , thank you again 😊

Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle of what to do with my studies. I just got to Junior level CS classes but I'm feeling very disillusioned since I couldn't get a single internship interview. I've considered switching to nursing since it seems like a much more linear path to starting a career but it brings me sadness when I think of giving up all the hard work I did to get to where I am now. Thoughts?

[desert pine]

One piece of advice: never give up

Junior is just the beginning

[blissful arrow]

I might have just pushed myself too hard. I did take a condensed calc 3 class this summer

[zealous prism]

unless you hate CS or love nursing to the point where you believe future you would regret not chasing your dreams, do not switch

particularly because the skills overlap between CS and nursing is... there's no overlap, meaning you have zero advantage over anybody else when you switch
not to mention that imo, nurses get paid basically nothing to do some of the most intensive, often traumatising, and long hours of work you can find in a modern society

for every hundred interviews, people often only get like three responses, that's entirely normal and you just have to keep trying

[blissful arrow]

I do really love CS. I really do

https://tenor.com/view/linux-tux-super-tux-kart-supertuxkart-stk-gif-2388075204735431428

[zealous prism]

that's excellent, then absolutely don't swap off
i'm not sure many companies look for low level junior CS students for entry level or internships particularly because of how many people they have to choose from
it doesn't hurt to keep trying, but you should definitely keep getting your skill and experience up through studies and personal projects for your portfolio while doing so

[blissful arrow]

you're so right! thank you!

[desert pine]

Did the same thing with physics. Gave my very best the first year and dropped out after. Switched and still have some regret till this day. If the fire in you is strong enough, keep going. If not, there is plenty of time to get back to it later 😉

Best of luck on your journey

[tender basalt]

Hello! I’ll be starting university to study physics in a few weeks. I was wondering if anyone has tips on studying, time management, or any essential advice in general for first year students. Thanks!

[fathom kite]

Studying: aim for 100% for every exam cause why not, if you fail doing that you will do well regardless. Speak to professors, lecturers and other smart people. It will make the learning and networking experience more fun.

Time management: This depends on what you want from life tbh. If you wanna grind and focus on your career your social life will need to be cut down a bit and you would need to manage things wisely. Avoid cramming for exams and make sure to study every week. I personally spent 2 weeks grinding the entire semesters content and then doing light revision throughout the semester coupled with extracurriculars and social activities. Maybe use a calendar like notion or something to plan your time.

If you aren’t sure what you want to do career wise in life don’t worry. Join societies , be confident, unapologetically yourself and find something that interests you. University is a place you go to learn how to learn, to meet great people and accelerate your career. Don’t skip lectures UNLESS you have test proven them to be useless, some modules may have better lecturers than other so be wise and choose when it’s appropriate to go and when it isn’t. Be smart with your time and honest with yourself. Enjoy your life also and don’t get caught up with career opportunities, dont follow the crowd, do what you love.

• Also definitely apply for internships all the time lol.

any tips?

was like horrible before in school bcz i didnt study before (got like 48 percent) but gonna make an academic comeback no matter what : DD

[blissful arrow]

Create resistance so it’s annoying or more steps to start scrolling than what you want to do. Like Malek said, unhook is good for restricting YouTube

and please don't pin it cuz if you pin it it's just easy to clickity click on it and disable it

[chrome meteor]

Hello! I am trying to get my shit together and actually study. The issue I'm facing is that all of my life, I have been able to get good grades without studying. The issue I'm facing, is how does one study efficiently?

LIke, I have no clue..

[pallid briar]

same

[wild ridge]

Quality and focus of your study and that’s it pretty much

For me the most efficient way to study is to focus with the professor during class, write down notes and highlight important bits
Go home, start making notes and flashcards in remnote (takes about 45-60min/chapter)
do 100-200 flashcards per day, load depends on if I’m near an exam
then a final review before the exam which takes roughly 30minutes/chapter, if there is a difficult concept I’ll review it several times to drill it into my heads

The key thing here is to start early and not cram things

Once you cram things ugly things happen

Also for exams it’s good to look at the syllabus and see what objective each chapter has, the questions will come from there

[wispy willow]

I have two advice to give, depending on your objectives. Either achieve a good understanding of the topics and develop knowledge or have good grades on exams.

If it's the former, then the ultimate secrets are curiosity, consistency, and organization. Curiosity allows you to dive deep into a subject, search for answers where no one is looking, and keep a "healthy" relationship with your studies. Studying becomes a process where you genuinely want to look for answers and build knowledge.

Consistency helps you cement information in your mind. It's better to study 2 to 3 hours every day than 12 hours once a week. It helps tremendously with memorization, but also to build discipline. The secret is to show up.
If curiosity is the door, consistency would be the lock; therefore, organization would be the key to it. You need to be organized to make progress. Whether it is while going through lessons, writing notes, watching lectures... etc. It helps a lot with recalling pieces of information, and if you want to come back to certain notes, then having them already at hand is always helpful. But make sure your notes aren't two long, they should contain keywords and the main point of what you've gone through.
And to do all of this, you need time. So you'd better start early.

If it's the latter. Then I will give you something that works amazingly for me, which is to start with the actual exams. What I usually do is that I search for old exams and gather them in front of me, then I highlight the questions that are asked every year. I then proceed to make a list of what is frequently asked and the lessons the professor tends to focus on. It's like doing the work in reverse way.
Only then do I start studying the material. My mind naturally focuses more on what came up the most during exams. And when I'm done memorizing them, I can then try to go into more detail.
I generally start this a month prior to exams.

The best would be to start the semester with the first method, and the second when exams are near.
Good luck!

whatever i do i cant study

i sit at the table i cant complete tasks

From my assumption, It’s because of social media

Don’t use social media

Precisely, short form content

what's the main reason? do u go on ur phone in between?

if so then i recommend just putting ur phone on ur bed or somewhere far

I think brain fog might be linked to burnt out. Was very burnt out a few months ago, couldn't think straight or even efficiently complete my tasks. Meditation, diet, exercising and taking breaks might help some of y'all.

In a shorter form: What do you do when you feel like you’re really stuck in life?

[desert pine]

Such a wonderful question

[desert pine]

In short: there is no such thing as being stuck, without there being a being free

So you end up doing things that do not cause suffocation

Small steps, but steps

5min of "air" is better then none

Life is just a big fucking dialectual movement cuh

Sometimes we just have to be embodiments of the term "chill"

[mental storm]

journal

[young umbra]

So one who feels stuck has forgotten the freedom within? I should let go of everything and start again, and do that process all over again

Mentally I mean. Actually letting go of things that one has worked on and wish to grow might not be the best, but to understand how it is a choice (freedom of choice) to do everything

Not sure if I understood that right. I should journal

[young umbra]

I just keep myself busy, like I distract myself with studying or stuff

As much as i want to sleep well and early, i just can't
i do try to hit the bed at 10 PM,
only for me to not sleep until after mid night,
mind so, i don't use phone, and i just lay like a log till i feel aslim

[young umbra]

Just move, as lively and widely as u can until there’s no movement left. Use ur corpse to inform the brain that there’s nothing to solve anymore for today, only goofiness. For me that works, or choosing a really boring book beside the bed, which usually gets me to sleep before it is even opened

Wanted to know how people usually decide what they wanna do after school ends, (ques. for Indian students but other people can answer too :)))
I'm currently in 11th grade PCB (physics chemistry biology) stream, and everyone in my class is,ofcourse, preparing for competitive exams but I'm clueless- scared or whatever you wanna say. I need genuine advice.

[prisma patrol]

Basically , majority go for jee/neet as u said too , u can follow up ur passion too if any , but as ur from India , so ig u also know that coming up from an Indian family , if they r middle class ( mostly ) , so they expect that u earn good , which is mostly possible after getting a good clg , Talking about me , I don't wanna share it here what I aspire to do , but u can dm me up☝️

does anyone have any advice for going through personal issues during a busy semester? ive been studying super hard and staying on top of some the hardest classes in my major this semester

and im in an accelerated program, so im taking about 5 to 6 core classes every semester

but recently i went through some stuff and missed my first day, does anyone have any advice for kind of getting that study flowstate back after losing it for a day or two

[proper epoch]

sybau

noo no not that s

[desert pine]

2 days missing is nothing mate

Keep going? Idk what you are worried about

[still rock]

im so annoyed,, does anyone have any tips on how to get into flow state while studying i cant figure it out 😭

[uneven prairie]

Literally 0 distractions. That's the most important factor

As little context switching as possible, some is fine don't be perfectionist

The right music / stimulation - Brain fm has free tracks on yt, highly reccomend. ASMR also works really well, I like rain sounds. Nintendo music playlists also work for me

Love the work - A flow state is a drip feed of dopamine, dopamine is the wanting and happiness chemical, you can't do it if you hate what you are doing. Change your perspective, romanticize it, make things prettier and more atmospheric beforehand, get excited

Know what you are doing - Flow lists or checklist beforehand

Love your pfp

aaa I’m scared my alarm won’t wake me up tomorrow! I’m tired of sleeping in and I want to get alot done tomorrow ): how do you guarantee that you’ll wake up without snoozing

[zealous prism]

if you're worried about hitting snooze, then set multiple of them and make them inconvenient to get to so that you force yourself to get out of bed to hit snooze

[chrome meteor]

Also, if possible, put your alarm really far away or use a qr alarm app, so you have to stand up to turn it off.

[wind phoenix]

Is watching a lecture in 2x speed really worth it? Or could you just get AI to make a summary of it?

[blissful kelp]

for me 1.5 works best with pausing and summarizing it yourself after each section, AI might miss out something you don't know off, use it for flashcards / self-quizzing. I can't really understand with 2x speed

[hollow falcon]

Depends upon the topic I think. For me, if it's a practical subject or a topic that I'm really interested in, I'll watch the lecture. But if it's something that I just need to get done, I'll go for AI summarizations.

[peak swan]

I would suggest 1x is better rather than 2x. I mean u feel that youre actually learning or understanding the lecture but what u learn during the 1x u remember but u have to eventually put in the same time in revising
I would suggest go with 1x and try to revise using Anki flashcards

I used to do 2x but now I realise 1x would feel slow but you'll retain that information for longer period time

[zealous prism]

because my school has suddenly shifted from in-person lectures to prerecorded video lectures, the time that our teachers try to cram into our predetermined lecture blocks has also increased
for example, a course that might have had 200 minutes of total lectures on my official schedule during which the teacher typically includes a 15 minute break in the middle, has 240 minutes worth of lecture without the usual break
in my case i have five other core classes to get through, i can't not watch my lectures on at least 1.5x speed 😭

so i get the need to rush, but i suggest setting a speed to something you can actually understand on a per-teacher basis
some of my teachers talk really slowly, i can manage 2x
some of them talk really fast, i can only manage 1.25x or 1.5x

[wind phoenix]

If time does not allow, do you think it is more of a priority to do flashcards for an exam (anki) or to understand the material and form connections (obsidian). I imagine if time allowed that it would be best practice to do both?

[lavish flame]

Are practice exam or past papers available for your exam? If so that would be my go to

While flash cards are good for active recall i think that would just prepare you for your course in general

For a better exam score, especially with less time, past papers will get you primed and familiar with the exam. You can spot out trends, repeating questions, etc., and land a higher score

My personal approach is to tackle past papers first and if i have time left i go through the course AFTER so i can spot out what parts of the course are actually important when reading them later and mark them (this depends on your program mine is law so it works for me)

I recently started to study by myself, and I have come across a wall in the form of not having a structure to my learning.

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to know if you guys knew about any videos James made or just generally a very helpful advice regarding eye strain and stuff, cuz sitting and studying for long times is catching up with my eyes so yeah.
Thanks 🙏❤️

[cunning nimbus]

for me blue light fitlers worked

also try the 20/20/20

every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds

[hollow geyser]

Much appreciated ❤️
I'll be sure to try that out for sure

[gloomy zinc]

surei can do it ?

[blissful kelp]

For me what works:

• Occasional hydrating eye drops without medication if it's finals week (but don't rely it too often cuz it has preservatives and long term usage has bad effects)
• make sure you get your updated glasses prescriptions (blue light filters etc, sometimes you dk the power has already increased)
• if I really have to work for long hours I would keep some physical printed copy notes with me for a particular section (i find it I can engage and rmb the materials more)
  Just my general tips, hope it helps

[blissful kelp]

If anything serious do consult the doctor first before getting the eye drops, make sure after 28 days you discard the old drops after using

[hollow geyser]

Appreciate the tips 🙏❤️
I'll try to implement em, thanks!

[kindred stag]

Hello. To be honest, I have never studied anything in my life. Throughout my school years, I copied everything from the internet. Now I am 16, and I realize that this cannot continue. I am faced with the fact that I have absolutely no understanding of how the learning process works and how to do it most effectively. I would appreciate any help.

[lavish flame]

Maybe try reading ur coursework and explaining to yourself like what the content is, then try active recalling them and attempting practice questions

If you dont have like practice questions you could make some yourself or through AI dou dont get too dependent on the latter

The main bit about studying is understanding the concepts, retaining them and then applying them

Anytime i feel like im just reading and not understanding stuff, i start by dividing them into seperate statements and paraphrasing them or putting them in my own words or my current go to translating it from english into my native language and that kind of forces my brain to actually understand whats written

[wraith junco]

Hey guys, has anyone have good websites to learn things, skills, etc ? Whatever the subject I love to learn everything (art, sciences, philosophy, tech, business, political sciences, etc.). For now I know learnanything.xyz, tryhackme, geeksforgeeks, tutorialspoint, learnthingsfree)

[zealous prism]

if all you've done is copy off the internet and haven't studied a day of your life, honestly, forget using AI as previously suggested
do not trust for a moment that you won't use it to cheat, don't give yourself the opportunity

it will only bring bad habits into you

there's a lot of resources on "learning to learn" - in fact, you should google that keyword, might bring you to a lot of resources on google or youtube or even a free online course
i just skimmed through this video but i think it covers the main idea in how you should approach actually learning something https://youtu.be/Z2N5a7XZWg8?si=Y4H0rteXvR2ckns5

you might be missing core fundamentals such as the patience to sit down and work through something until you come up with your own answer, or the discipline to practice often in the interest of spaced repetition, or holding yourself accountable to studying
the lucky part is that practicing learning is the easiest thing ever, because the practice is literally just learning
change the way you approach doing your homework, don't sit anywhere near your phone or computer if you can help it and just use the knowledge you have to figure out what's in front of you

[kindred stag]

Thank you for your help and detailed response

[meager hawk]

does anyone have leetcode premium here?

[peak swan]

Does it ever hit you you’re sitting here studying, trying to stay focused, and meanwhile your friends are out there enjoying life? Then old bad memories start flooding back, and suddenly your mind spirals. It’s like feeling left out of your own story, and it ruins your whole morning especially with OCD in the mix.
And then I feel that I neither enjoyed my life properly nor did I studied properly and it feels so so bad 😔

Pls help me guys

[zealous prism]

yeah
every day i'm studying alone while my friends are sitting in a vc playing games

aside from "seek therapy" there's not much you can do about it

what are you gonna do, give up studying so you can go partying?

you made the decision to study instead of play and it will feel absolutely terrible in the short term, but hopefully you don't regret doing so in the long term

chances are, some of your friends probably chose to play instead of study to feel good in the short term, but the chances of them feeling good in the long term aren't high

understand the trade that you've made with your time

[young umbra]

Wise

[peak swan]

Yes right Ig I got this habit of seeing things for short term and sacrificing long term goals

Thanks man but then people say u should have a balanced life

What do u do if all those bad memories come up and it spoils the morning

It happened with me this morning I was reading and I wasn't able to focus properly while reading so I thought I should take a break exercise for some time and then study

But what if this happens before exams what do I do at that moment?

[sinful shore]

you can take a break for just a few moments and some deep breaths to ground yourself again

i know time in an exam is precious, but just that small brief break could make a huge difference and allow you to sustain focus again for the rest of the exam

you can do other things before the exam too, if you have time, like just going out for a quick walk. i think walks can help to remind you* that despite how important studies are, it's not all there is to life

[gloomy zinc]

Does it ever hit you you’re sitting here

[spice pine]

hi! this isn't what the server is meant for so i will be removing your message. please be mindful of things you share.

[frigid vine]

Okay

[peak swan]

Yeah I'll do that Im going to read the WHO'S stress management pdf once

Yeah what I did I was exercised for 2 hrs and later I felt better

Journaling helps too , to some extent but u have to face it no easy way

[sinful shore]

i hope the pdf is helpful for you! i struggle with test anxiety and i’ve found that slow and deep breaths have helped me. i usually do three of them, then i just focus only on the problem in front of me.

that’s good that you exercised too, and i’m glad that you felt better afterwards. it can definitely make a huge difference and i would do it regularly, if you don’t already.

you don’t have to do 2 hours everyday either, it could be an 1 hour or 30 mins; just stay consistent. that’s part of having a balance with studies. a healthy body means a healthy mind after all

[sinful shore]

maybe you can try journalling the night before an exam or on the morning of the exam? it could just be writing a few sentences, just to help you get those thoughts out

ultimately what you said is true and that you have to face it, but you don’t have to face it all at once. i don’t think you can anyway. we’re human and we can only deal with so much all at once. sometimes “facing it” can mean just doing one small thing today. that still counts

i don’t know your specific circumstances but when and if you can, let yourself and give yourself a rest. that’s important too. i know some people don’t have a choice, but if you do, then use it to your advantage and use it wisely. go out, exercise, journal, etc. studying 24/7 isn’t sustainable in the long term, but again, i don’t know your personal situation

[gentle knoll]

@zealous prism @smoky tundra

[zealous prism]

oof

[gentle knoll]

It's sad

[zealous prism]

it's doubly sad

[smoky tundra]

nvm found the pic here

[zealous prism]

this is one of those that you can't disassemble easily

[gentle knoll]

Yes

[zealous prism]

parker glued them shut

[gentle knoll]

Yes exactly

[gentle knoll]

Ikr

And I can't glue it back

[smoky tundra]

the same shit happend to me ahhh

[gentle knoll]

I don't have the materials to repair it anyways nor the skill

The rubber makes me sad lol

[smoky tundra]

its a non repairable one but i think there is one method

that i know

i mean its a gambel

[zealous prism]

if you've found this video already, never mind, but it should talk about how to disassemble and reassemble it https://youtu.be/OjL5VSWitA8?si=cKNkF50Tb9-KdhTc
otherwise, you're better off buying another or using a cartridge instead

[gentle knoll]

Yes

[gentle knoll]

I was thinking of buying the current parker vector pen

The cheapest parker pen they've got probably

[smoky tundra]

you can do one thing

its a 50 50

[gentle knoll]

And since it has an ink bottle system it works for me(I have ink bottles in my storage)

[smoky tundra]

either the pen will be useless or

will work like normal againn

[gentle knoll]

Lol

[smoky tundra]

cuz that thing is stuck in there

add boiling water instead of ink in it

https://tenor.com/view/ferass18-gif-7869831930024597864

cuz boiling water will remove its stiffness

but idk if you know how to do it

i did it twice

it works

but not recommended

in most scenarios

[gentle knoll]

Wait

[smoky tundra]

especially with these pens

[gentle knoll]

How can I grease the barrel

I mean

The rubber

In case I do take the barrel and piston apart

[zealous prism]

the issue is that even if you get the gasket back on the piston rod, it's probably going to come off again
converters are lubricated with sillicone grease inside, and the main reason gaskets come off is because they're no longer greased

[gentle knoll]

Whatt

[zealous prism]

put some sillicone grease on a toothpick and smear it around the side of the gasket, then just put it in

[gentle knoll]

What other grease can I use?

[zealous prism]

you don't need to lubricate the converter walls itself, moving the gasket back and forth will transfer the grease onto the walls

i don't know, i've only ever used sillicone grease

[smoky tundra]

fr try it xd

[zealous prism]

be careful if you plan on experimenting, because some lubricants may break down rubber

[smoky tundra]

the stifness of the piston will reduce

[gentle knoll]

Well

Seems like there's nothing better than silicone grease

[smoky tundra]

i mean just look at the atmosphere of south asia

[gentle knoll]

Stiffness is needed tho isn't it?

[smoky tundra]

it reduces

it

not removes it

technically its a cheap and quick solution

it'll make the rubber a bit soft

near the ball thingy

[gentle knoll]

But it'll still drag onto the barrel walls

So it might come off again

Mosquitoes are so irritating

[smoky tundra]

ahhhh

[gentle knoll]

Well let me think about it

[smoky tundra]

u can think

[gentle knoll]

I do wanna take off the barrel rn

[smoky tundra]

try it if the pen offers it

i only use parker pens to sign documents and stuff

i prefer cheap pens for daily use

or chinese pens

[gentle knoll]

Yes

[gentle knoll]

I don't use it now. I used to use it before

It's like I found the pen again

And I wanted to use it again

[smoky tundra]

i dont like parker cuz of the price

[gentle knoll]

It was a gift

So it's fine

20 years ago

Lol

[smoky tundra]

we southasians truely respect gifts

[gentle knoll]

Like cambridge pens?

[gentle knoll]

Yes

[smoky tundra]

nah those non branded pens with chinese written on them xd

[gentle knoll]

It was my first fountain pen

And it was good while it was there

[gentle knoll]

Ooh I've seen them

[smoky tundra]

they come in a plastic wrapper xd

instead of a box

[gentle knoll]

They were a trend in school for a year

[gentle knoll]

Ohh damn

Cheap production

[smoky tundra]

pens are so exciting to use

[zealous prism]

if you do end up finding sillicone grease and disassembling it, this video is a good guide
basically he just pulls it apart, actually simpler than i thought but definitely scarier than unscrewing something to disassemble it

[gentle knoll]

Yes yess. I love stationary

[gentle knoll]

Yess ikr. When I saw the vid I was like it's that easy?

[smoky tundra]

they betray you in organic chemistry and algebraic calculations in maths

[smoky tundra]

his hands were so huge

[zealous prism]

guess friction fit is just that easy, but i can't help but feel that it isn't designed to be done that way 😞

[gentle knoll]

Really?

[gentle knoll]

It isn't but it's worth a try

[smoky tundra]

for me yeah

[gentle knoll]

Than seeing the sad rubber

[smoky tundra]

my hands are so tiny xd

[gentle knoll]

Idk if I can buy silicone grease tho

[gentle knoll]

Lol you find it hard to write them ?

[gentle knoll]

I see

[gentle knoll]

Kinda same

[zealous prism]

you should be able to find silicone grease at some hardware store, make sure it's 100%
the issue is... at a hardware store, they usually sell big tubs that you probably use like, a single toothpick-point worth of, a single time 🙃

[gentle knoll]

Bigger than most girls tho

Lol

[smoky tundra]

yeah cuz my pens arent ment for like so much pressure

if i press them too hard

the spring breaks

like it twists

not break

[gentle knoll]

Yes ikr. I need like the amount shown in the video

Just a tiny bit

[gentle knoll]

Use lighter handwriting strokes

My strokes are so light the pen will seem it doesn't have ink

Lol

[gentle knoll]

Damn

[smoky tundra]

You are in college tho

Lol

How's your studies going?

[smoky tundra]

i mean

like at the last

years

[gentle knoll]

It's true. Simpler the thought. Better the maths

[smoky tundra]

avg

[gentle knoll]

@zealous prism thanks for your help

[gentle knoll]

Ooh is something up?

[zealous prism]

happy to help

[gentle knoll]

Kk

[smoky tundra]

kinda

i tried focusing on other skills

learning some weird shit

regarding aviation

and aero physics

[gentle knoll]

Ooh

[gentle knoll]

Weird shit

[smoky tundra]

just trying to learn so many stuff

i just need money ahhhh

[gentle knoll]

If it hampers what you are doing you might wanna restrict them a bit

[gentle knoll]

Find something easy then

And less time consuming

[smoky tundra]

i just got done from studying like 20mins ago

i mean

[gentle knoll]

Oh enjoy your break then

You study a lot anyways

[smoky tundra]

i was about to tell that

i dont use my breaks for like

[gentle knoll]

Hmmm I gotta do that too

[smoky tundra]

I use them for these weird stuff

[gentle knoll]

It's fine

It's good

[smoky tundra]

it keeps u productive

[gentle knoll]

Yea

[smoky tundra]

like im learning how missiles and rockets work

[gentle knoll]

It's just that I want to do something fun

[smoky tundra]

and role of physics and chemistry in them

[gentle knoll]

But I need to do other stuff

[smoky tundra]

u needa go to texas then

[gentle knoll]

Damnn

Missile man

[gentle knoll]

Why lol

[smoky tundra]

[gentle knoll]

Wow

You should go there then

[smoky tundra]

https://youtube.com/shorts/Vp96Q_Sz2ao?si=Sl8HsrNr_cku_uce

[gentle knoll]

Nice nice

[gentle knoll]

Sure

Remember you don't need to clean everyday

[smoky tundra]

yh

fr

[strong grove]

why does Celcius energy drink turn yellow after a while when left out open?

[smoky tundra]

@everyone this is a scam dont fall for it

[dusk gyro]

My multivariable calculus notes 😔 gone

This always happens my notes always get deleted 😩

Spent $40 on anki flashcards eternal

[stuck sun]

Who invented trigonometric identities?????

this gotta be the hardest topic on math tf

[smoky tundra]

Trignometry itself is not friendly at all Ahhhhh

It fucks you up even if u study about time in it

[bitter arrow]

Really? I find them to be quite intuitive considering it can basically all be derived from the original functions

[polar viper]

guys whats better long term transport and logistics or comp sci expert software development? im 20 and got apprenticeship offers from both fields

[twin igloo]

if you're fine with being glued to screen all day , have back problems , sore eyes , doing everything and still feel like shit , have a seizure everytime someone mention AI will replace you . Choose comptuer science

I mean if you still wanna do it cuz it sounds fun , go for it . You can overcome all obstacles if you are consistent with the effort

[restive pollen]

@stuck sun you should try deriving them yourself at least once, it'll make remembering them easier.

[young umbra]

hi

[boreal wyvern]

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScKyRik8p0z5sQO_SWEO2wvhtaE8w_NXduf1avb_gHst1a6pQ/viewform?usp=dialog
can yall do this for me for ap csp

[loud dagger]

people should really stop glorifying this 5am larp

wake up, study for a couple of hours, then do whatever you want, sleep, repeat

it ain't rocket science

[smoky tundra]

Whats wrong

With that

[loud dagger]

with what

[smoky tundra]

With this

[loud dagger]

because it makes no sense for the average person to wake up this early

if you've got a job and you have to travel far then sure

but almost no one does this crap

you're gonna go to sleep at 8-9pm everyday?

🤣

[smoky tundra]

In the old times people used to wake early

Its our moderen generation that'll Watch ai Slop rather than doing some real work.

[loud dagger]

they woke up because they had to work in some old dirty factory for 12 hours per day

[smoky tundra]

That was the industrial era

Before that people had jobs like trading

[loud dagger]

now people have the luxury to actually have a life outside of work

[smoky tundra]

Merchandise

Farming

[loud dagger]

yes, physical labour intensive jobs

[smoky tundra]

Fishing

[smoky tundra]

So what?

It pays you back

[loud dagger]

dawg all you have to do is make some practice questions for an exam, it ain't that deep

[smoky tundra]

Just because ypu have a degree doesnt mean you have the skills

[loud dagger]

the whole 5am study routine larp is just a distraction

[smoky tundra]

Skills are learnt when u do something

[smoky tundra]

Its better than scrolling at night

[loud dagger]

it feels good seeing other people do productive stuff if you are introduced for the first time

[loud dagger]

you can do both

stuyd and have a good time after that

[smoky tundra]

What does scrolling benefit you?

Does it give You Dollars?

It just fucks up your brain

[loud dagger]

?

you can't measure all benefits in life to whether or not it brings you money

[smoky tundra]

You needa find internship after that

[loud dagger]

are you productive every hour that you're awake?

[smoky tundra]

Money brings those stuff

[loud dagger]

no it doesn't, having a diploma does

[smoky tundra]

If you love watching movies you cant just watch them for free

[loud dagger]

and when you start working you will be so tired that you won't bother to wake up at 5am everyday

[smoky tundra]

You needa invest the money to get the happiness you want

[smoky tundra]

Be consistent

I get your point

Some people do this once

[loud dagger]

that's a pretty sad view on life if you unironically believe this

[smoky tundra]

But still theyre some people teally doing it

[smoky tundra]

Its not sad

Its the truth

[loud dagger]

yes it is

[smoky tundra]

We humans need to accept it

[loud dagger]

you're just beating yourself up for nothing

as I said it ain't that deep

[smoky tundra]

It is

Just depends who the Host is

[loud dagger]

wake up, study, do fun things, get a degree, get a job, boom.

[smoky tundra]

Depends on the mindset

[smoky tundra]

Getting a Job Aint that easy

Especially a stable one

[loud dagger]

it is if you go to a good uni

[smoky tundra]

What fun things

[loud dagger]

and do something useful like stem or law

[smoky tundra]

That requires money yk
