I (M23) am an international student in a country with language that I don't speak. I'm currently in my 2nd semester of Master's Degree. This is my first time away from home and actually being an adult like taking care of yourself, cooking, working and also studying.
I did 18 credits (3 courses) in my previous semester (was late to the semester due to visa) and planned to do 22 credits (4 courses) this semester but turns out I managed my time disastrously (took more classes and dropped them as time went and in general poor time management) and now having a mental breakdown that I can only get like 10 credits if go all in from now until the exams.
For the first semester, I had all the time in the world for studying. As I was new to the country I didn't actually knew what to do and studying was the only thing I could do. In my second semester, I had to work because of my financial situation and was happy that I managed to find an internship related to my field rather than an odd job. Managing my studies and internship was harder than I thought. Having to travel 1 hour to get to university and 1.5 hours to get to work one way and also taking care of myself and sleeping sufficiently took up all time and I only had the Saturday and Sunday to actually study with few hours of cooking included because I need to meal prep for next week.
I was confident that I will be able to finish at least 3 courses this semester and was concentrating at the start of the year (even though this is my first new year away from family and I am feeling a bit down) and something worse happened, I lost a close family member less than 20 days ago and I can't even visit home because of my financial situation.
I am trying to reorganize my mind as my exams dates are getting closer but it's just a mess. Feeling of loss, the regret of not spending more time studying, wasting time watching mindless YouTube and spending so much money every month to live in a different country, it's just overwhelming.
I'll probably figure something out soon. Probably will only give exams for 2 subjects. I just want some advice on how I can better manage my time for the next semester so that I don't feel overwhelmed with the amount of studying I have to do by the end of the semester. What are some good habits I should implement? I get enough sleep but it's patchy and not very regular so advice on that would also be good.
Hey, I’m a second-year medical student, and I don’t know how I got here. This exam is actually ruining my life, and if you’ve ever wondered what med school exams feel like, here’s your answer—pure chaos.
I tried making this study vlog feel like a NETFLIX reality show (because why suffer in silence?), so if you’ve got some spare time, check it out. And if you don’t… well, I might have to rethink my entire existence. No pressure.
Got a decent amount of studying done today, tho I feel the last hour wasn't that..productive? Idk I am still glad I could do this much :)
good luck everyone

Can u guys help me make a split page note on this video for my English assignment .pls
Basically, my exam month started a on January 15th, I have had 4 exams since then and I did great on all of them. But the thing is, there were multiple-day gaps between every exam. Now I have three final exams on Feb 10 (2 exams) and Feb 11 (1 exam) and I just cant seem to focus on studying. Whenever I start studying for one exam, I keep thinking about the other exam I have to study for. It seems like I am overwhelmed for some reason, this happens every time they put multiple exams in one day/two days. Anyone else experiences this? It is kinda bummer because I aced those 4 exams...
Again an addition hour if math not recorded ypt application

I am currently in 3rd year of my undergraduate engineering degree. Apart from total of 20 hours of scheduled lectures and labs per week, I self-studied for 825 minutes (=13.75 hours) in the last 7 days.
I didn't get to study on weekends due to burnout and indulgence in cannabis.
Hoping to achieve a self-study output of 25 hours in the coming 7 days!
I’ve just recently started school after not attending for a while and am trying to relearn how to study. Any help or advice is so greatly appreciated!
Does anyone has this book in pdf format? Pls provide the link!
I am taking a "legal-esque" course with a lot of technicalities. My study techniques up to this point have been to reword and jot down notes. But now I have horrible tendonitis (I work an office job during the day and this is the second course I am taking). I am not sure how to study this course when typing and writing is painful or turns my fingers numb after only a few minutes. I have to do this outside of work so getting through the workday is already hard. Any advice?
Tried active recall for the first time today, i basically read a subtopic from my book thoroughly then made notes without looking and added the points i missed. This feels mentally tiring for me am i doing it wrong or are there any other recall methods i can incorporate ? I like this though
I am a 2nd year computer engineer student and i was hit by the realisation. Out of everything i learned last year i only remember a little bit from each subject, like if i were to take the exams now i would fail. I also strugled with exams this semester, i passed all of them but with grades like 5 or 6 out 10 ( the passing grade was 5). It also did not help that i skiped lectures but i want to change that next semester. My problem is that i dont know how to "learn" like in my analog electronics course i did not understand anything from the theory but got a decent grasp by working on solved problems and trying to understand the reasoning behind them than solving similar problems.The issue is that i cant seem find resources like this for every subject and for those that i do find there is not enough to trully grasp the contents. So how can i study for subjects like this where you need to learn theory and how to use it to solve problems. I know it will take some time to truly catch up to all the curricullum i have skipped but i want to get to a decent level in subjects like analog electronics, phisics, progamming and the subjects i will have to take next semester so i can improve my grades ( where i study the government pays for uni and as long as you are in the first 70 out of 110 students in your course you dont need to pay ). Any tips or suggestions are apreciated.
I used to study with dedication and doesn't feel lazy at all especially few days before exam.And now i'll have an exam tommorow and i can't even touch my book because i'm feeling to lazy.
I have been studying almost everyday for the whole of january and I am taking the last available try on an exam tomorrow, which determines if I stay in school. I feel so exhausted, I had already stressed myself out in the beginning, because I was in a similar situation. I feel so burnt out, not even the panic of dropping out is motivating anymore I don't know what to do, I wish I could just slap myself into getting some sense, but I don't even want to see the material. I feel kinda lost.
I'll study some more ig if I don't go to sleep let's see I'm already tired beyond measures.. I can't seem to get down with this concept..
The finals are in 1 week and am still procrastinating
If u have finished reading a book in one day, how many pages were there in that book and is it a good thing to finish a book in kne day? not skimming but reading and understanding
