People who go to college such as I...

yeah I do, I saw yours too a few weeks ago.

 

i hear you guys on this one...there's a general rule we all have to follow.

-grades
-sleep
-fun
..........Pick two

lately i've been going for work and fun...so i'm tired as hell...worth it so far though

 

jus graduated last week with a 3.6 GPA, spending half my time on the forums. You just have to know when to close that tab.

 

Discipline.

Most of the important lessons in college come in the form of "how to live life and not be a fuckup" moreso than the actual information you learn.

Learning how to resist temptation and delay gratification is one of those lessons. And you're failing it right now.

 

x 1,000,000!!!!!!!

 

Yup!

 

i used to have the same issue with not being able to study and getting distracted...what worked for me was going to a classroom with a computer, disconnecting the ethernet cable on the computer and just listening to my ipod (some classes had speakers in them so i'd also just play my ipod over those sometimes)...hope that helps and good luck with your studying

 

yeah thats a good call...i would either play some heavy/metal rock or classical music (weird combo lol)...and I would start my physics take home tests or problem sets at about 10 at night n just work all night on em

 

Just graduated last week from Drexel University in Philadelphia. no longer have to worry about this, haha! oh yea, I had a 3.94. what a waste of time it was earning those grades. job market is garbage.

 

What did you get your degree in?

 

ya i just graduated and that is what i would do Party sleep and then last minute cram in a class room with only books and my computer. cram all night and take the test or turn in the report then drink beers and flush my brain of almost all the knowledge, like the beer you piss out the little bit that is left for the morning is all you need lol.
the zero distractions thing is key just go so where you can put in as many hr. in and make the most of study time then you have more time to do other stuff.
when shit hit the fan my junior year i also tried doing stuff right after class when it was still fresh that worked for a little while then not so much !!
good luck o ya and i did Marine Engineering alot of sleepless nights cuz of to much procrastinating but o well it was all worth it

 

Haha i don't have the best tacoma, but i love it...it will change when i start making money again this summer. Do you ever do any off-roading around here?

 

damnit im back...i watched tv and did some reviewing, does that count in place of music?

 

I'm in my fourth quarter of grad school...MBA. I have 3.81 GPA. Like I said I just go on TW in class. But I also get paid to goto school

 

senior with 4.0 in Hospitality Tourism management. I do most of my lurking while at work from 11pm-7am and do my homework when i wake up usually in the afternoon

 

English and Philosophy double major at University of Wyoming, hoping to attend either Stanford or Berkley for law school after I finish my MFA here at UW... I too get paid to go to school here, which is nice. 3.8 as a senior, I bust ass and try to stay off TW when I have papers or exams coming up...

Easier said than done...
