Thanks, but who says I'm sane? I've gotten to the point where years of 3-4hr/night of sleep has ruined any attempt at normal sleeping, and I can function surprisingly well on no sleep.

Last year of this nonsense, then off to find a job.

I have to start my MAE senior design project next semester and i still have not established good study habits. You'd thinks after 180 units i'd get my shit together. lol

[TimbyMaTombo]

Usually, just doing the homework is enough studying for me, but I have a hard time with that too....

[Bimmerman325i]

Ugh, tensors.

[lambo]

I've been through 5 years of undergrad, 2 years of pharmacy school, a year earning a masters of science in clinical research, and I'm back in my 3rd year of pharmacy school with 1 more to go. Fucking burnt out as hell... then the ashes soaked in lighter fluid/rocket fuel and lit again. Just trying to trudge through the rest of it to tell you the truth.

But as far as studying goes... I'm a pretty visual learner. Making study guides help (even though I quit doing that and now just read my notes). It helps to write it down once, trying your best to thouroughly understand the material. Once that's done, breeze back through it a couple times and your good. Get some sleep, any sleep at all helps your brain to organize your thoughts... never down play sleep the night before the exam. Get up in the morn and go back over your guide again and you should be good to go.

I've never been much on study groups because I'm alwaaaayys cramming last minute. But, if you get your shit down ahead of time, it's good to work in a group b/c you can explain what you know to other peope reinforcing what you've learned.

If you've fucked around and find yourself with not a lot of time to study, just do the best you can. Don't worry about it, worrying doesn't do shit for you. Any little bit of info you gain will help you. That's how I do it lol

Bump for finals.

Anyone else getting brainraped right now?

[gearheadE30]

Yep. I've gotten a whopping 2-3 hours of sleep a night for the last weeks, tops. Then drove an hour and a half to sell an engine, trans, and exhaust (I need money, so it was important) then back to school to study. 2 finals Tuesday, one Wednesday, and two big finals projects due on Thursday. Hooray...

[Andy348]

Two finals Monday, one Tuesday and one Wednesday.

Not enjoying this first year of University.
