I'm the exact opposite. Say the test is at noon. The day before I'll sleep from 4 pm until like 1am, get some McDonalds, browse NT for a bit then and study from 3am until 11:45 then go take the test.
I stayed up all night studying, and what was supposed to be a quick nap to keep me alive during the test ended up resulting in me sleeping clean through it.
I'm a moron, I know
I've been sitting here trying to think of what I can say in this appeal letter that could get me just one more chance to turn all my mess ups around.
All nighters aren't the answer my dude.
Get those 8 hours of sleep. Your memory will thank you.
I aced every test I've ever gotten good sleep for. Can't say the same for my all-nighters. Your brain has a way of just freezing when you need it the most for critical thinking questions and fact-recalling.
Other times I won't sleep at all I'll just take some 5 hour energy extra strength.
Works INCREDIBLY well for me.

im really close to opening my own sneaker store, but a few minor things are holding me back.
1. is im afraid of failing. I don't want to sink so much into it and lose.
I've SACRIFICED so much to get this done and now im having doubts. I don't think I should feel like this but I do. I've locked up all potential connects like Nike, Diamond supply, Akoo, New ERA, etc..
IM HUNGRY THO AND NEED THAT PAPERWORK.

I'm unhappy with myself because I really wish I had turned out to be a different person. I know I could have done better. This is not the best person I could have been. I can still do better but I'll never be what I could have been... I'll never have lived up to my potential.
I know I will never be good enough for myself, which means I probably won't ever be good enough for anyone else either. I'm not sure which revelation stings more. That I'll never be satisfied with who I am or I will never be anyone special in my own eyes.
::Kanye Shrug:: I think maybe that stings the most of all.

Don't even have to average much, they will pay you forever based on potential, all you gotta do is be able to take instruction from the coaches. Don't even have to do it forever, stack and get out and do what you want to like Sean Bradley.

What is your hotel budget. I went to the pod when I went to NYC. It was 200 a night. Tiny, but you control the AC in your unit. If you dont plan on spending much time in the hotel I would recommend it. I only used it to go to sleep

I only have a little over three weeks left before I head back to college and I'm really not looking forward to it. Maybe I just had a rough first year that I didn't enjoy very much. It felt like it was a lot tougher to mesh with people there like I was able to do back in high school. Not that I didn't make friends, but I wasn't as close with them as my friends from high school. I bet some of it is mental, thinking things like "_______ isn't the same combo _______ from back home and I are." Either way, people I'm surrounded by in college straight up seem to be less likeable than who I was surrounded by in high school. I'm also someone who likes to have some quiet time by myself on occasion and it was rarely possible living in a crowded dorm and some of my hallmates just grew to be annoying after a while.
I know you guys will probably ask, so yes I actually have moved several times before college. I knew it was going to be different obviously, but the differences just aren't who I am. I saw people put alcohol before everything, dudes were blowing all their money every other weekend on it and even their friends came second to it. It was always a priority. You're watching a basketball or football game on TV? Why not watch it drunk? Have a boring class tomorrow? Better go completely hammered. On the weekends girls/guys just wanted to hook up with randoms and even went as far as to use some Tinder app just to find new hookups. Some people consider college the time to start actually dating, not high school, but from my perspective the girls I went to high school with were much easier to get along with and most had morals which I value, whereas in college it's the opposite. The cops were in my dorm often and a few people I knew were on the verge of being kicked out of school. I'm not trying to come off as condescending at all when I say this and I'm probably in the minority for thinking this, but I felt like I was the only one who could see how stupid it really was.
I'm hoping this year will be better now that I have a year of experience under my belt and now that some of my friends a year younger than me will be there also. In another few weeks I'll be missing the majority of my friends that aren't at school with me like I did my first year. I've never been someone who was excited about the upcoming school year as I'm sure most aren't, but now that I'm a college student I feel like I'm becoming the minority in saying that. Since summer's started I've seen Tweets/Facebook posts from the friends I've made at school about how much they miss it and can't wait to go back and now that it's only a few weeks away they're almost becoming daily. This probably sounds stupid, but I'm starting to feel like college (more so growing up as a whole) just isn't for me. The farther away I get from my childhood, the more I miss it.

the outcome of your life story will be different, no matter the sort of people you come in contact with before, during, and after college. years from now you won't really care too much about how this year went, only how your current one is going. so maybe focus on making your college days mean everything to you and not for anyone else in your dorm, college or in your social networks. your childhood and high school days are already over, why not make your college days mean something important for yourself?

I dunno if this is the appropriate thread, but somebody tell me if I'm wrong on this.
Friend had a bunch of us over for dinner. While dinner was in the oven we were talking about the new Robin Thicke album. My friend said she hadn't heard it but liked one of his older songs, and said it was the one that goes "I just wanna love ya baaabaaay"
and sang almost the exact tune to "Like I Love You" (the Justin Timberlake song from Justified). I told her that was a JT song, she said no it was Robin Thicke, proceeded to sing a completely different Robin Thicke song I didn't recognize (Lost Without You). I was like oh ok, I've never heard that, lemme pull up this JT song so you can hear what I thought you were talking about, it sounds exactly the same.
Fast forward to the ride home, my roommate and his GF (who's also a friend of mine) are trying to figure out the fastest way to get home. She offers a different route than what we're used to, and we think it will take longer. Her way was a lot faster so I was like Me: "Yea you were right this was much quicker."
Her: "Wow I can't believe you admitted that you were wrong."
Me: "Haha why do you say that?"
Her+My Roommate: "Well you were wrong earlier about the Justin Timberlake song and you wouldn't admit it or let it go" (Neither of them had ever heard either song)
Me: "Um no I was not; she sang the exact same lyrics and was only slightly off on two of the notes, she accidentally sang the tune to "Like I Love You" at first. I played the song for you guys. And after she sang other lyrics I admited I'd never heard that song but you can see why I thought otherwise."
My Roommate: "Who cares, this is a stupid conversation just shut up"
I feel like that is MAD disrespectful to come at me sideways like that when:
A) Both of them were completely ignorant about the songs and had no real idea whether I was right or not, and I was right in the first place.
B) I plainly stated she was right about getting home faster and wasn't argumentative about it or anything. Just like "Wow you were right, we were way wrong this is much faster." Both of them turned that into a personal comment on me not being able to accept when I'm wrong and brought up the earlier convo about the song, not me.
C) It's not his place to tell me what I can and can't talk about. If the conversation's not interesting to you, then don't take part. I feel like he was trying to defend his GF for no reason and had no place to tell me to shut up whatsoever.
Am I wrong for feeling kinda disrespected here? A really trivial thing but I did not appreciate it

^ if you felt disrespected you should've handled it right there and then
