Yeah..I've fallen behind college so bad it's not funny and it's like high school all over again. Except I can't change schools this time.

I'll have to take five classes for 16 credits (out of a max of 18 credits per term). Then a minimum of 4 classes for 12 credits for the rest of the terms.

the amount of truth to this is ridiculous

for the past two years, I'd been something like 2 + (1/2)1 + (1/2)3, but now I've managed to completely eliminate 2 from that equation, and I'm paying for it dearly this time of year

Just make sure that you don't fall asleep during the exam. Eat mints and/or drink water while taking the test if you start to nod off.

Or take a 5-hour Energy.

just a quick side note that I learned in Psychology last week: If you pull an all nighter for school related things your brain doesn't actually comprehend almost everything that you are studying. Also a psychological brain analysis has proven that a student taking a regular exam with sleep showed alot of brain functon and got a good grade on the test. The same student was then told to pull an all nighter to study for the same type of quiz and showed almost no brain function at all. As the analyist said it's as if you are stupid for the day. Just something you don't want to hear I know but it's true lol

**rushyrulz** · 12-15-2010, 12:52 AM

Ahem, something to keep you awake:

**eurostud4** · 12-15-2010, 12:53 AM

but then the problem is that you're not prepared for the test. So sleeping will maybe increase brain function, but it doesn't help that you don't know the material for the test, haha.

of course, for that reason, it's best to study a little bit every day instead of cramming last minute. But who the hell does that?

I was comparing the different combinations according to this logic, and it's so ****ing true, hahahahaha.

**cry4eternity** · 12-15-2010, 01:02 AM

I have two exams in the morning - Music Theory I and Discrete Math. Just got done cramming. Good luck on your exams.

yeah bro you're 16

**eurostud4** · 12-15-2010, 01:52 AM

hahaha you'll be in for a surprise once you get to college, where you realize high school's a complete joke. Play video games as much as you can, my friend, you won't have much time for it once you're outta there.

also, I just got distracted by tetris for the last hour, I have a problem

**foilman8805** · 12-15-2010, 01:59 AM

i will admit though that i haven't yet pulled an all nighter and i'm at the end of my undergraduate career. i've had my fair share of VERY late nights, but i've never gone without any kind of sleep. i'm clearly not as bad of a procrastinator as the rest of you guys are.

**TheSaxRunner05** · 12-15-2010, 02:01 AM

I recently pulled an all-nighter for a 10 page paper that was due the following day at 10 am that I hadn't started yet. Finished around 5 am and took a nap

**eurostud4** · 12-15-2010, 02:21 AM

@foil: probably a good thing.

Are you guilty of giving up choice #1, young man?
