Hello /sci/, I posted a thread similar recently.
I am becoming very depressed, I'm lonely and I DONT KNOW HOW TO BE A STUDENT!
I've always struggled with this, I think. I can't get myself to do my homework for college, or to study. Do I need adderal? I am already taking an SSRI for depression. I am so lonely and it is making me bitter on the inside, but I am outwardly very kind to everyone. I am neglecting my health and wellbeing (not showering, not eating, etc.).
I want to go to medical school but can't if I don't snap out of this, and I don't know how. Should I take LSD? Adderall? Get a girlfriend?
I don't know what the fuck to do.
I'm so scared to see my first semester grades. At worst I'll get a C in gen chem, but my other grades are probably going to be 2 A's and 1 B or B+.
I need help, I'm so fucked up. :_(
Am I going to fuck myself for medschool if I get a C my first semester in gen chem? Am I retarded? Should I KMS?

1st things 1st. Definitely attend to all hygiene protocols daily. Not eating is fine- just remember to hydrate.

Being a student is only about trying hard, throwing yourself into it. But you should find study partners. Go find resources for quantitative analysis. Volunteer in the labs building.

Don't worry about friends, absorb yourself in interests. For perspective, get biographies of the people who you are learning about in chemistry, read about their lives, it will help you understand the challenges all people face in their lives.

I would personally dump all the drugs, and take up exercise. All unis have tracks, gyms. Learn to run. Seek out the benefits of your tuition- access to facilities like pools or lockers. Find your self-esteem in your continued dedication and accomplishments. Learn how to be your own best friend.

Be enthusiastic about what you are learning and doing. Don't worry too much about your grades. Med school is a good goal, which means you should also go to the health center. Volunteer, shadow, do whatever. Attend any pre-med groups or clubs.

Girlfriends... ? I wouldn't recommend it unless you can keep it super casual with super low expectations. Premeds should be on the grind. And finally relax, take a yoga session, steal naps. You should embrace the challenge and fight the urge to quit and savor every accomplishment.

Thanks for the great advice anon.
Do you think I'll be fucked if I get a C in gen chem 1?
And how do I fight the urge to give up? I am behind on some assignments right now, and theyre easy as hell I just can't bring myself to do them. Why am I like this? And if I see a low grade I get all upset and feel like quitting. And of course if I quit there's a 0% chance of medschool.

Most charts posted are memes, but this one is good. Also, calm down, anon. If you feel exceptionally stressed out, consult your doctor. I know that most on this board don't trust them (big pharma, they just want money, some conspiracy, whatever), but your health is too important to take a risk. Get enough rest, have a balanced diet, and exercise. Implement these things into your daily habits and consult your doctor. Also, make sure to communicate with your friends and family what you're going through.
Good luck, anon

I journal my thoughts in a steno notebook to help me make decisions about how to spend time.

I make schedules and action item lists for each day the night before. Also use google calendar for anything farther out (and for next day stuff too if you can).

Sleep is very important, so allocate enough time to it, but if you allocated enough time and just can't sleep, don't stress, you can work through it one way or another until you can catch up. Stressing about not falling asleep "on time" or being awake in the middle of the night is counterproductive.

The main thing is to have agency and "deliberateness"--to be in the driver's seat of the car of your life. sounds obvious but without my journal and scheduling i wouldn't be able to do it.

Good luck, and no don't kys, you only get one chance and even if you only get some joy, that's better than none (even with the suffering...terrible physical agony that isn't curable is the only reason to kill yourself I think--its euthanasia at that point)

If you're male there's only two things that matter.
1. stop watching porn

Don't want to be that person but I don't think you'd be a good fit for med school anon unless you're planning on going DO or to some low tier med school. If you're getting a C in gen chem you're going to have a really rough time in the upper level courses. PA or dentistry might be good options too.
Try to make some friends if you can, I'd rather not hear about a college shooter in the news. Eating out and going outside is a great way to meet people. Try not to eat alone when you go out to eat.

Depends where you are. Im guessing youre a canadian. Unfortunately your chances are slim no matter what really. There most definitely is preferential treatment for children of doctors. In canada its not much of a racial thing, so long as youre the son or daughter of a doctor you stand a good chance so long as you have a good cgpa (9.0+ on a 10 scale) and have some history of volunteering work. In the USA theres a pakistani kabal that basically only lets pakistanis through the system. In canada if you want to get into medschool you need to score at least 97% on the MCAT , have 9.5+ cgpa a history of volunteering at hospitals and have some extracurricular interests. Sometimes even that isnt enough sometimes they want at least an undergraduate degree like a bachelors. And thats for frenchies. Even the frenchies have a bottleneck when it comes to getting accepted into med schools. I can only imagine what a nightmare it is for the anglos.
TL;DR you need a high gpa. You'd need to have stellar grades for the rest of your academic career if you want a shot at getting accepted.

First off relax, its not you’re fault; it is but it also isnt the education system isnt exactly good at helping people with different tendencies especially in a modern computing world. I cant give you strong advice because it comes from you but start cutting things that dont benefit you(eg. if you’re not learning programming stop playing video games all the time, and if you are dont make it total leisure either), and learn how to develop a positive environment and routine custom to your tendencies. Those books that anon posted are stellar but they cant give you personal advice. Find hobbies that develop you as a man so you learn when you arent and whatever the hell you do make an environment where you can study and/or relax. Giving study advice or focus advice is simple, just do the work you know the answer in your head already. But what creates a wall is the factors out of our total control until they hit us in the face. Have shitty friends? Leave them. Have poor health? Go outside and find something beautiful you want to be a part of. Ive seen too many friends lose potential because they had family,friends, school, etc put them in an environment that doesnt gel with them well or completely hostile in general and they cant adapt. Develop and ecosystem that works for you because the world isnt going to give you one

You're going to want to abandon the thought of becoming a doctor. Not because you don't have the potential, but because it's one of the worst professions, both for the doctor themselves and the general public.

Doctors are overworked technicians and cogs in the wheel of the pharmaceutical and healthcare money machine. They do very little healing, but rather spend 7+ years training how to use slightly more complicated bandaids.

DO or low tier school is fine, what do I care as long as I'm a doctor. I'm not even struggling with the concepts it's just these fucking labs I misplaced my data like a moron, now I dont know what to do for my lab report. Things like that. I get the concepts.
>>13904189
I'm not Canadian, american. Idk how it works over there but ik here they actually dont like seeing ur parents are docs, or they question you more abt why u want to be a doctor or if it's just to make ur folks happy.

Use a friend's lab data or make some shit up. How can you be getting a C in a class if you are only having trouble with the lab?
Anon please don't become a doctor, I'd feel bad for your patients.
You have a chance if you're black but otherwise don't do it. I have a 3.8 and am considering giving up. That's the minimum to get into a good med school assuming you have a god tier MCAT
