guys this exam is so long I think I might have gotten carpel tunnel

Went to simply double space a document on my iPad highlighted the whole text about 4 pages in length (not a lot I know) then the app spazzes out and deletes everything. Undo button in the corner is gray, can’t undo, not in my clipboard to paste. Just gone? App proceeds to crash. Why??? Why??? It’s 3AM I’m losing my shit.

Just wondering how y'all dealt with it, cause I get this pressure from my teacher and I'm also somewhat of a perfectionist so thats kind of a bad combination...

Stop demotivating yourself and take energy away from yourself. For example, you think that you did not have time. And what did you have in the same period? You think you were bad at something. But maybe was there something good? Focus on strengths and successes. For what you can say thank you to yourself, where can you be proud of your results, ceasing to devalue them? Remember when you did what you like. Or when you set realistic goals and come to important results. Increasing motivation depends largely on your ability to see opportunities in any situation. This is not only a run from one task to another. This is a celebration of small victories to come in time for more. The questions above are helpful in this. They are important to ask yourself regularly for at least several months. By the way, join new interesting subreddit: r/college_buzz/

As a student would you pay to get in contact with expert working professionals in an industry you want to work in who will help you get your dream job?

At my college, the canteen is take-away only. One option is an outdoor tent, thats normally full of fox poo. Option 2 is to eat in you classroom. As an animal management student, we are not allowed food in the habitat where our classrooms are. This means our only alternative is our cars (if we drive) or to sit on a curb.

Not sure if I’m supposed to talk about this but I just want to say when I was in highschool. I was a good student barely passing and struggling trying to keep up with my classmates from elementary school and I was so close until I got called to the office. The principal wanted to talk to me and he say me down in front of his desk and he asked why I’m still here? I was confused at first and so I answered his question with well I want my diploma and he said not good enough. He was looking through my classes and how many credits I had left and I was a pain in the butt student at the time. He just told me to go drop out…

I said have a good day and walked out his office holding my tears back trying to gather all my things from my locker. I got all my things and never came back.

After college started I somehow got to know about the club and I heard it is really nice.

So I just went ahead and gave the interview and after 3 rounds I got selected. These people make UAVs and go for a competition in the US.
This club has a really good reputation. Around the world they rank 10th when Harvard ranks 19th or 20th every year. In 2016 this team came 1st position also.

I learnt a lot from this group and got a chance to have hands -on experience on the most expensive equipment I had never imagined I could work with.

The members of these clubs get jobs and internships really quick because they are well versed with current technology.

Soon it started becoming really important for me and I think this is the best club in college.
But, let me take you to the internal experiences in the club in which I have worked for around 4 months now. From the start whatever task i have been assigned it has been completed with perfection and i had a quarrel with 1 guy thats it. This has come to a notice with a guy from senior (he is just 1 year elder to me but i feel he is more arrogant to me than to others, he is basically handling new recruits and probably going to be the team captain when the current team captain and other seniors leave) the other seniors who are years elder to me are really nice and they are helpful in nature.

1 month back i was brought into notice that i don't mingle with people a lot. I have a few set of friends with whom i prefer to work

I was assigned to assemble a drone and that has been completed but everytime they assign people to the team it would be almost the same people. It is not just me but He also admits there are multiple sub groups in the team. But from the way he talks it feels he is ok with a group being there and not ok with me being in (which i feel i am not)
In total he doesn't want any groups.

My problem is that for my future endeavors to join Harvard or any ivy league college in the USA for my MBA they generally ask what extraordinary work you have done in your life that we should accept you to our college.
This is the reason why I want to stay in this group and I am sure I can do wonders. But the frequency isn’t matching.

This guy is threatening to remove me from the team next year if I show “Attitude problems” but then he said if you can prove to me that you can work with everyone I will take you in the team.
Is this kind of politics normal in college and clubs?

How to tackle them?

What other substitute ways do I have to continue to achieve what I wanted?

Hi, so just saw this community and I just took the chance to write this to rant since I'm having a not-so-good day.

Growing up, I've always been raised to be a perfectionist and someone who's always at the top of everything they need to get done. When I used to get sick when I was younger, I was forced to come to school despite not feeling well and clearly sick (I know, it's bad. It's so bad) and as a result of that, became a workaholic and restricted myself to any sort of fun until my dues because I get so stressed about that.

So this week, we have a lot of group work due and it's been stressing me out a bit because I feel powerless since there are certain tasks you can't do alone. I feel like it's so unfair. I need my group members rn to help but one's barely doing anything unless I tell them to, the other is on a long trip today and I'm on the brink of a breakdown because I'm suffering from hypothyroidism lethargy and I've been pushing myself to take on more tasks lately so I can quell the anxious thoughts in my mind. Sometimes my body won't cooperate with my brain and I just sit for hours doing nothing productive.

I really hate how I was raised like this, it feels like I'm dying and I'm the main reason for it. But I just can't stop lol.

Remember kids, Adderall and related substances are NOT a replacement for sleep

1. Exercise. This not only energizes, but also improves health, improves mood and helps to sleep better.

2. Eat well. The worse you eat, the faster you run out of energy and the less power you have to do.

3. Drink coffee, only when you need to concentrate and recharge your batteries. With frequent use, it ceases to act.

4. Avoid caffeine 4-6 hours before bedtime. That is how much it is in the body after consumption.

5. Drink more water. It improves metabolism.

And what are your ways? By the way, join new interesting subreddit: r/college_buzz/

Two of my flatmates (f) say that when my boyfriend comes round he should pay some money for showers and electricity etc. (even though our bills are at a fixed rate) and that the money should be used for shared items such as milk and washing up liquid. He only comes round for max 2 nights at the weekend. Is he staying round for too long or is this a fairly reasonable amount of time. I'm not sure if I should just go along with this or whether I should just buy my own stuff instead and put in 20p or something for showers.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Ok so to start this off let me say I never proofread my papers. Partially because I know I’ll hate myself if I do and partially because I procrastinate so much I finish and submit the paper a min before it is due. Anyways I was revising one of my essays (for a future essay) that I turned in two weeks ago and realized that three paragraphs of my essay are a different font color starting at a quote I know I typed out by hand. No idea how this happened, but if course now I’m panicking. I absolutely did not plagiarize, but I also have no explanation for the strange color change. What do I do if my professor says I plagiarized?

...and I've only got that much because I do some mystery shopping. :o I don't know what happened. Well, I do; I have a fancy spreadsheet and a budget, and I regularly exceed that weekly budget by £10-20 and 'treat myself' every so often because I've got such a great budget and I'm so obviously going to have some money left.

Also, I did some student-ambassadoring for my university's summer school and my manager forgot to submit the payment forms, so I'll be paid end of September instead of end of August. He did inflate my hours a bit to make up for it, but still. :/

I share a house with nine people, though only three others have moved in so far. Three are neat. One complete arsehole manages to leave crumbs absolutely everywhere, orders takeaways and leaves the wrappers lying about everywhere, does empty the bin BUT then leaves the bag next to the bin instead of taking it outside and thinks he's helping by taking the bins out but takes them out on the wrong day, despite the poster I put up from the council with the right days on it, and too late on that day anyway! So even when he does try to help, he screws up. I am so frustrated with him. I'm tempted to start chucking something of his in the bin every time he screws up, but that is childish and petty and also leaves my own stuff open to retaliation.

Have any of you ever had a teacher that got are just intrinsically intimidated by? I have that with my calculus teacher. Everyone loves him and says he's a great teacher and I see that. But I just get so awkward whenever I have to approach him to ask questions. I have no problem asking for help in most classes. Teachers are there to help right? Everytime I approach him however, it's like a barrier goes up and my anxiety shoots me in the gut. I worry because I completely suck at timed exams. I can never clearly communicate what areas I need help with, it's like my brain scrambles the ideas before I get to them. I'm generally a >3.75 GPA because of the occasional B or C. He expects a 5 from every student when we take the AP Calc Exam. Oh my gods, end me now. I'm pretty comfortable with my other teachers. Shucks that I'm not with my calc one. Ok, rant over.
