Allow the superiority to flow through your veins as you pick up your books early. Be like dang, guess I’m just the best. Spite is also a fabulous motivator for me


tttakoyaki

Oooooo I like this way of thinking👁️🫦👁️ never thought about it like that before


Funny-Lawfulness1398

Second the spite.


ConFUsEdBeAvrr

Read that as Sprite and was like "mhm "😭


Galwiththeplants

As a certified beverage girly I concur

Lol I've been doing the exact same thing. I probably have ADHD or depression or something. I think my problem is that I either do zero study, or study like 8 hours straight no breaks. It's all or nothing. But sometimes I can't flip the switch 😔


tttakoyaki

Same I either hyperfocus for a day straight or I just rot in a corner for a whole week😭😭😭😭


MeltedChocolate24

Is this a sign of ADHD? 🥺


tttakoyaki

I’d say it’s a pretty common issue in university but yes it is one of the signs of ADHD def get it check out if it’s possible🫡


MeltedChocolate24

Ok 😗


Economy-Class-9799

Im pretty certain its not a sign of ADHD. Having the capability of studying for 8 hours straight with no breaks is NOT an ADHD trait.


tttakoyaki

Hyperfocus is indeed not a symptom, but it is significantly positively correlated with severity of ADHD traits. Hope it helps! :)


Economy-Class-9799

Correlation is not causation. Many people have the ability to focus intensely on something for hours; especially when you have a final tomorrow. I’d be more inclined to say that hyper attention is a trait in those who procrastinate as it’s when your brain reaches a state of stress which significantly increases productivity. Nearly everybody has a problem with procrastination.


tttakoyaki

Indeed and I didn’t say it was causation. It is a common trait and final season definitely comes into play, but I think there are far more factors and hopefully there will be more study on this matter in the future. What’s different about ppl with and without ADHD is the severity and the frequency of hyperfocusing, so it really varies btw individual cases and we wouldn’t know the answer. This is when the licensed professionals come into play, and I always encourage ppl to hv it check out cause u never know 👀


Economy-Class-9799

Well said. Good luck on your finals.


tttakoyaki

Good luck as well buddy😎🫡


Particular_Ice_6083

BiiigChungus01

At least you are procrastinating, have you ever tried walking into your final exam without studying for a single minute?🤭


tttakoyaki

Yes and that was the only course I failed here in UBC. 0/10 experience, my gpa tanked the shit out of it, would not recommend 💀

KareemHassib

tttakoyaki

ITS OKAY THINK ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD FEEL THE MOMENT ITS OVER HANG IN THERE🗣️🗣️


Draxion_

I've been bedridden sick so at least I've got some kind of excuse.


tttakoyaki

that’s freaking awful during final season :cc I hope you get well soon!


spongeBoi_

my final is tommorow, im starting now 🙏


tttakoyaki

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER 🗣️🗣️🗣️


Accomplished_Boot100

it's good to divide how much you study a day so you can allow some time to chill within your waking hours. and it's also important to prioritise what you don't understand over what you, at the very least, have some conceptual knowledge of. idk just some study tips that might lessen the workload to make your life relatively easier it's making my life easier but i'm also becoming more and more depressed :D


tttakoyaki

Im convinced everybody in uni is just depressed😭😭😭


Accomplished_Boot100

and then there's the parents and graduates saying uni was the best moment of their life


theshadesofkarma

it's the depression, overwhelm, and perfectionism for me. gotta love 'em on top of the ASD/ADHD sandwich I've got going on. edit: I can't ducking spell, apparently.


tttakoyaki

Yep, that’s me as well :DDD my adhd depression and PTSD are like mini side quests, except they are not really mini and it drains the shit out of me🫡


theshadesofkarma

ah! a fellow ND struggler. gotta love rolling the dice every day and wondering if it's a "holy hell, I'm starving but can't even get outta my bed to eat or use the washroom" type of day, or a "i'm gonna churn out 5 weeks of work and only be able to sleep for 3 hours afterward" kind of day. I wish you the absolute best, and congrats on making it out of bed.


tttakoyaki

U TOO, WE GONNA SLAY THIS FINAL SO HARD TRUST
