Just a tiny rant blog:
Been cramming for about ~70 hours with 2 three-hour naps in between, and currently have been awake for over 30 hours. Exam is in just a little under 20 hours, and still over 200 pages to go... Coffee stopped working ages ago, and I'm unfortunately out of adderall as well.
This sinking, choking and just absolutely terrible feeling has been eating away at me, knowing I'm fucked no matter what. Best case scenario is just a mere pass at this point. I absolutely can't fail this exam, because parents will see the results and cut me off if I mess up since I've sufficiently pissed them off an ample amount already.
So mad and disappointed at my own severe procrastination, I just feel so hopeless.
I'm crying a little. Fuck my life.

Get some sleep. Drink a litre or 2 of water then get a good 8 hours sleep asap. you will wake up feeling refreshed and then you can focus on the last 200 pages in the 12 hours before the exam.. or 10 leaving 2 for food and getting to the exam. Trust me, sometimes sleep is the only way through it... there's only so much caffeine and other stimulants a body can take

What are you studying for o0?
|
Sounds like you kinda put yourself in this situation (as you admit), but there isn't much you can do about that. You've got a good chunk of time left, maybe sleep and then work on the last bits? I think sleep would likely do you well, rather than just cramming mindlessly against your will.
|
And yet you've spent time posting this on TL.
I'm sorry if I came off as a big douche with that line, but I'm just stating the facts. :I
I guess all you can do at this point is bite down, and do your best.

Relax. It will probably be okay.
If it doesn't go well, it's not as though life ends. I remember obsessing over an important test and my brother saying to me "If it doesn't go well, will you care in a few months?"
Stay calm. Focus. Good luck.

Sleep for 8 hours.
the emotions you're going through are 100% because of your lack of sleep
|
theres no way your going to learn in the state your in anyways, sacrifice some studying for a good 8 hours of sleep and a nice meal then study hardcore for the remaining time
|
I had maturity test and I had to write work/read a whole lot of books in 1 day. I was tired, unshaved and all in sweat but I did it. Sleep for 6-8 hours, stop panic - read. Good luck and have fun !
|
Don't just read everything. Pick and choose what's relevant and focus our study effort into the important parts. You know you can't get everything so minimize your losses.
|
I think you should go sleep. Seriously, you are not being very efficient like this anyways. Might as well get some rest and get up and study a bit more.

why the fuck would you censor yourself on teamliquid

hahaha yea this post was worth the crying and stress

Yeah, you need to sleep, and quickly.
Use the remaining time to take care of the rest of the work. Otherwise, you'll just completely break down...studying on drugs without sleeping can also be bad if you choose to go sleep, so I don't know :/

Like others have said, get sleep and your body will work much better, I promise. Be smart about this. You're going to be a lot more energetic and much more efficient if you can get some rest.

yea man
if you know you're gonna be fucked either way then just fucking go to sleep lol
though you can't change the outcome. you can at least admit that you're fucked. and if you REALLY admit it then you will be able to just relax and let your body pass out as it probably wants to.
don't hope for anything and trying to sleep at the same time or the anxiety will prevent good sleep.
just let it happen
and when you wake up. THEN CRAM!!!!!

Dood, if you're not used to this kind of cramming, you really need to stop and get a full 8 hours of sleep now. Stuff you are reading is gonna go right through without sticking anywhere in your brain.
Sleep and MAKE SURE SOMEONE WAKES YOU UP so you have time to finish you last pages. At this point that 8 hours still won't be enough obviously, so you won't be in prime studying form. I highly recommend that you read aloud to yourself or at least review the end of each section by talking it through to yourself, as that tends to help make things stick when you are really tired. Then eat before going, or you will feel ill to your stomach from lack of sleep and too much caffeine.
Lastly, though I do not like doing this cause it makes me sick-- stop eating and drink a lot of energy drinks if you really really need to stay awake more. With only energy drink in your stomach you will absorb the caffeine very fast much like alcohol and get a quick burst. However this will make you sick to the stomach and your body generally will feel like crap for the next week. (I'm sure it already does, but who wants to be throwing up/nauseous on top of that?)

You need to sleep. Youve already wasted time if youve been up for 30 hours. When you lack sleep for that long you dont retain any memory and therefor information. I know it sucks. You need to sleep to even be able to think.
|
Just get the big picture. Rereading your textbook from start to finish is stupid. Just restudy the big ideas and you should recall a lot of the details. If you don't, over the summer get a good book on memory development. Harry Loraine has a great book on Memory.

dude, just end your life ahaha
