I think I have ADD

[michbich]

Avianrave: missed your earlier post....I agree, when I came into college I thought it would be different(isnt that what they tell you in highschool? Thats what I was told) "high pressure, fast paced....blah blah blah" its slow paced with enough busy work you dont realize how little you are actually learning because your too busy spitting out BS to fill the requirements.

and then there is the arrogant professor who thinks they are too good to answer a simple question....the one who purposely uses wording to make students feel insignificant. This is they guy I feel like socking in the jaw...

I have fun when teacher evaluations come around....at first I was nice, now I'm honest....bad professors get horrible reviews, because it is what they deserve. It just sucks if you happen to have that same professor for 2 more classes the following semester...

I'm in my third strait semester with a teacher. The good thing is, you know how they structure their exams.

yeah like you would have us believe that you read the articles in playboy.

Get reading your worthless bum I know you're smart you always post back good info to all of my threads. Could always get adderall though, Playboy had a good article on it but yeah tons of people take it but most are lazy who don't want to do work so they take addy and then it makes them want to so...

yeah goodluck and go do your homeowork even though I'm a hypocrite cause I entirely put off doing my math test tonight.

Public Service Announcement:

If you're not planning on going to graduate school, no one really cares about your grades in undergraduate work.

Now, if you are thinking about graduate work... then poor grades can and will come back and bite you in the rear end.

To a degree. A 3.0 vs a 3.5, probably nobody cares. A 3.0 vs a 1.42, people are going to care. That's what, a C-? Maybe higher education isn't for you...

I dont even really consider undergrad higher education....more like additional education required because our general education system sucks that bad. Over 50% of my undergrad courses are general eds....thats not higher education. Higher education should dedicated to your field of choice....not spread out over all kinds bs courses so you can finally choose your major after 2 years.(sorry undecideds, but I should not have to take the same classes as you if I have a direction I want to follow when entering college....hell I knew I wanted to go into engineering in 6th grade)




Bob: You see, what we're actually trying to do here is, we're trying to get a feel for how people spend their day at college... so, if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?
Me: Yeah.
Bob: Great.
Me: Well, I generally come to class at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way the professors can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour.
Bob #2: Da-uh? Space out?
Me: Yeah, I just stare at my desk or do a sudoku; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, class work.


But you know, Bob, grades will only make someone work just hard enough not to fail.

Hey,
Im right there with you guys.

AO, myspace, facebook kill me anytime i turn on a computer to do something for school.

I hate that I have been a junior for 3 years. hopefully this is my last.

I have been at this 4 year engineering program for... well 4 years, but the part that sucks is that I had an associates degree walking into it. What good that was.

Now I know people who I consider little kids who are almost DONE with their "4" year degree.

yet here I am working on the same old sum of forces, free body diagrams, and instructors who love to show you how smart they are, but dont care to share.

[Hilltop Customs]

I avoid facebook and myspace, because I realized how big of a waste of time it is. Almost as bad as text messaging.....first we had the phone, a really efficient communication medium, and then we F'd it up with text messaging, and were willing to pay more to send lines of text typed out on a tiny awkward little keypad.....I really dont understand people.

I like coming on here because you get to hear opinions of people who you generally might not associate with because of different locations, different interests, different ages...whatever. People I associate with at school are boring and seem almost afraid to say what they think....on here you can just say just about anything you want as long as its not too political lol


BTW does anyone know if ADD/ADHD can lead to insomnia? I would think it would, if your mind constantly jumps around how would it ever be able to slow down for sleep.

I got AGD

I've had AGD for the past 13 years....dont think I will ever get rid of it

even if I'm exhausted, it takes me a good hour to fall asleep. i just keep thinking about crap and running hypothetical scenarios and ideas through my head. i also like the episodes i have where i have nothing to do but homework, and i just sit in front of it and do nothing for a reason I'm still not sure of. i work best with music playing or in an environment with a lot of noise because it keeps my mind from wandering.

i also have fits of sleep paralysis, which is a whole other waste of time i have to deal with.

[Hilltop Customs]

I can lay in bed for 4 hours and not fall asleep. Sometimes its my thoughts, othertimes I run out of things to think about and just stare at details of paint in the wall.

For homework, I have that same thing happen to me, but it never seems to happen when I'm under pressure. I agree music helps a lot, but I definitely cant study when someone is talking.....even in the next room.

Bob Marley is great to fall asleep to....worst thing ever is falling asleep to music, then then next song waking you up....has never happened with his music and you can just put on album after album.

just read a few lines on wiki about sleep paralysis, that would freak me out if it ever happened. I am just the opposite, I will shut off alarms in my sleep and not even realize it till I wake up 2 hours later.(alarms....I have 2 daily + a computer alarm for really important things) I would literally hit my moms arms away if she tried to nudge me to wake up.....still do that to the gf without even knowing.

[michbich]

I put my alarm far from my bed, so i have to get up to turn it off. For important days, i also set-up my cell in the room beside mine.

I've only had to dead with that twice so far, but it's not fun at all.

First time was the one that completely freaked the **** out of me.
