Things I highkey need to get out of doing

I study a lot elsewhere but I need to stop doing little to no study at home.

Also forgetting to bring new pens to uni.

I remember reading some of your posts in the past where you mention BTD as your major source of procrastination (well similar to me in a sense except mine is severe anxiety so I am seeing someone regularly to check-up here and there)... Also the reason why I end up learning LaTeX at this time when I plan to do so over the summer holidays.....

But considering that your WAM is like 88 or something (I am not familiar with uni stuff anyway so ignore that) you probably did study a lot outside of home right?

Honestly same, and it sucks because I don't often go to libraries and other study areas. I mean, I have been going quite a lot lately but definitely not enough. Where I should be studying, I end up listening to music and trying to play a song by ear (which is working quite well for me) but that can literally drain me to the point where I end up relaxing for the rest of the day. :-\

I need to get into the habit of not over stressing myself before an interview or presentation, to the point that I feel a bit sick :,). Not quite full blown panic, but still not fun  :)

Note to self: Not healthy =)

I really need to stop going on my phone as soon as I wake up and just aimlessly scroll through social media for 1-2 hours. I just gotta get out of bed and start the day early!
Which will hold greater rule over you? Your fear or your curiosity?

Dude. I don't really mind it myself because I leak my marks everywhere. But be careful talking about the WAM, and especially the exact value; it is actually a sensitive topic to a lot of university students.

Yeah BTD was what I was doing back then. Now I just sit here and do nothing. Procrastinating by learning LaTeX can be useful in the long run

I study reasonable amounts at uni these days. It's not enough for me to be satisfied with myself. I just hope it's enough to prevent me from despair later on when I get my results

Ah ok so is it as taboo as mentioning HSC atar once you go to uni (where it became 'meaningless')?... I have never been to uni (well not yet at least) so probably won't understand why it is a sensitive topic...

Regarding the procrastination I somehow manage to shift it to make it less stressful (seeing that removing games and all the fun that I do enjoy is not working)...  So I choose to stop caring about the HSC as much (well still do the work of course)..  So I recently began playing SAO Integral Factor and SAO Memory Defrag and realide that I don't even know how the game works (well I did post about it on the gaming forum)..  Nonetheless I still enjoy playing them...

Really depends on the person, in my experience most will share scores pretty openly regardless of whether they are "good" or "bad" but others won't (for various reasons) just make sure that you don't put anyone who doesn't want to share in an awkward situation.

Bringing up someone elses scores is kinda weird tho
