All this home repair stuff, which is just as hard if not harder than being a doctor or lawyer (maybe not a surgeon), I learned in a matter of days or weeks tops.
Most people can learn this stuff too. The main thing that makes being a doctor or being a lawyer ‘hard’ isn’t the job itself. That’s the easy part. The hard part is waking up early in the morning and studying for hours on end about stuff that ACTUALLY has nothing to do with what doctors and lawyers do. It’s ****ty, but true.

Pace yourself with the studying, in my third year I could tell you, 5-10 hours of studying 5 days a week for the past 2 years really took a toll on me mentally, emotionally, and physically. Taking physics right now, oh my god kill me. That class is brutal. The class average is 40/100 for 700 students. I feel proud to get a 60.. With the curve I'm almost at an A-. But I mean, I'm burned out.

I remember the inorganic chemistry II days.. Legit studied from 11 am to 7 pm.. went home ate dinner, and studied until 3 am. Yes I did get a 100 on the first exam, but was it worth it? Adderall, energy drinks, I don't want to relive those moments.

I actually didn’t find inorganic chemistry all that hard to be honest. Or rather, it was hard, but I understood it very well. I took notes in class, and when the prof went too fast, I just stopped and listened. And after the class was over, if I missed anything, I would go online and look at the PowerPoint and take notes from there. Just writing it down is enough studying for me thank goodness, but my mental state has deteriorated a ton due to a lack of sleep. But even so, I did fairly well. I studied for it on avg. about 5-8 hours a week outside of the lab, lecture, and discussion, and homework. I would have gotten an A in the class, but the stupid ****ing chemistry department is ‘sponsored’ (i.e. bribed) by a company so that students have to pay $80 in order to be able to do the ****ing homework. Because of that, I missed the first 5 assignments and got a B instead. I understood the material better than anyone in the class though because aside from the first exam, which I got a 77 on, I scored above a 91% on all them. But that stupid ****ing homework. Bull. ****. I deserved an A.

All things considered though, I am pleased with myself because I never drink coffee, never take energy drinks, never use adderall and never use caffeine pills either. But maybe I should occasionally use them....

No do not use them lol - maybe coffee. BUT I do not recommend adderall. If you use it like I did, you will be depressed afterwards.

OK, exit via the gate to your left please. Park closed. @Desdinova if you would like to reopen it it won't be stepping on my toes.
