I would be up there no doubt if the game Saturday was in Memphis.

If they make next round, I'll try and get up there. That'd be fun.

Oh shite. Maybe I can make it up.

I have a buddy coming over and we were gonna go down to the casinos, but maybe this will be a better option.

I have two at 7 this week. Last year, I had the very last time slot for a final- the only one I had. It was 7:00 on Friday

I remember my finals last spring semester was brutal.

It went 8am, then one at 7pm that night, then another at 8am the next day.

The hardest one was the second 8am. It was a bitch.

This year shouldn't be hard.

M 8am; 7pm
T 12pm
W
T 8am
F 8am; 12pm

It is back loaded, also. First 3 are my easiest 3. Last 3 are my hardest 3 and progressively get hard.

8am finals are the worst for me because its almost guaranteed I will pull an all nighter because I'm afraid I wont wake up.

Last fall I stayed up till 4 or 5am studying for a 9:30 test and my alarm didn't go off. Woke up at 11 in a straight panic.

I slept through my last exam last spring as well. Luckily the teacher was cool and let me make it up in his office. I worked for his lab in the summer and he gave me crap for it a few times.

Has anyone actually taken Adderall to better focus on their studies?

If so, what's it like?

Us old folks took caffeine.

I have been awake since sometime late yesterday morning.

Caffeine and ephedrine are keeping me going.

A guy I study with takes it, but he is also prescribed it. He offered me some, but I declined because I take it as my personal challenge to graduate with an engineering degree without stooping to adderall.

It just makes you really focused on whatever it is youre doing and it can be anything. It can be dangerous because if you make the mistake of going over to youtube that related videos tool will become your biggest enemy and there goes 2 hours.

I take Focalin for ADD. If I don't take it, I kinda just lounge around all day with absolutely no motivation other than what is "pleasurable" to me (not that kind of pleasurable, but like being on here all day long, playing NCAA 13, that kind of shite). I didn't take it today so that's why I'm just fricking around without a care right now

Never taken Adderall or anything.

My friends wanted to take some Vyvance when we were in Gulf Shores one day. One guy is from there. He was like we have to run some errands anyways. We can wake up. Take some Vyvance, go to Walmart, and then come home and do all the chores I need to.

I was like, yeah...no. I'm gonna go to the beach.

I have noticed that I have been doing this more and more and my procrastination has been getting worse. It sucks because I will be sitting there browsing shite on TD or reddit and in the back of my mind I will be screaming at myself to do shite, but I can't seem to make myself listen.

ADHD has a history in my family, so I'm wondering if I have it. I've always had a history of procrastinating, but it never became a problem until I got into real college level engineering classes. Perhaps because shite takes time and putting it off to the last minute just doesn't cut it anymore.
