I thought my senior project was due in 2 weeks. It's due in 5 days. There's no way to finish. I'm 100% sure I'm going to get an F (I basically haven't started yet). I'm not going to graduate, and my GPA has plummeted, so I'll never get honors. I won't be able to get a decent job now. There's literally nothing to live for.

You'd be surprised with what you can accomplish when you really focus on something. Forget as much about your other classes as you responsibly can(even if you have less time to work on their assignments and extra credits) also ignore your social like and leisure(ignore leisure as much as you can without the lack of relaxation affecting your school work) and I'd be you can do pretty well on your project.

You may not get an A, but 5 days is enough time to get a decent grade on a project. I'm also doing a Senior Seminar project so I think have some idea of what you're going through.

I've been down this road before. I know how it ends, and that was just a midterm project. This is a much larger endeavor.

Then work as hard as you can on it. It's the weekend, did you have any plans? If so cancel em and work on it. Also ask your professor if it's possible to have an a few days extension(make up a good excuse if you can think of one) 5 days is plenty of time to get a lot done.

I already asked the professor. He laughed at me.

I have another project due in 26 hours that I need to stay up all night on. (I was up all last night too)

I promised myself I wasn't going to stress myself this semester. 2 hours of productivity on weekdays, 3 hours on weekends. That wasn't nearly enough.

Um yeah that isn't nearly enough. If you're serious about getting a lot done then you need to spend the majority of the day on the project. You should only relax so that your mind doesn't get tired out from all the work. Don't give up and do as much as you can, that is your best solution right now.

I have a presentation that is trying to persuade people to be against animal testing for my writing class on Monday... sighhhhhh. I hate talking in front of a group of people :(

Sorry to have a weak vent :) It's all that is on my mind at the moment, hehe.

I'm starting to think I won't have enough time to complete all my assignments, apply for Graduate school and fix my financial aid before this semester is over. My ****ing senior independent study is driving me insane.

My previous record is 56 hours with no sleep. I'm going for a new record.

I don't think I've ever done an allnighter to finish a project. I'll stay up really late sometimes, but when I'm too sleepy I'm not efficient so I always let myself get some sleep and work on it in the the morning. I may have to try an allnighter to get some of this **** done.

Edit: Also this is the last time I'm gathering data and writing a report on it at different times. It takes so much longer that way and later you notice inconsistencies which just take up more time and some of which are only in your head.

Wait for it...

Why were you living for that in the first place?

Something that's currently bothering me: I have a stuttering problem. It isn't severe, where I stutter in every sentence or anything, but I tend to stutter when trying to say certain names in a sentence. I struggle with saying my friend's name, "Miguel", and I also struggle with saying "Meta Knight" at times! It irks the hell out of me. I dunno what it is that causes stuttering, but it apparently runs in the family, especially among males. It can't be a genetic mental thing, is it?

Sometimes, I'm afraid to even speak, because I ask myself, "will I stutter if I speak?". What worse, is if I want to say a sentence and I know for a fact that I will stutter, in which case, I sometimes don't say what I want at all. I sometimes have to speak using a different combination of words that will make saying my trouble words a little easier. It's such a hassle, and I hate it! If only there was a way to just "magically" fix this quirk of mine - and by extension, those with the same problem as me, be it more severe or otherwise. T-T

One of my best friends has a pretty bad stuttering problem. It used to be much worse years ago. I'll be honest, when I first started talking to him, it got really annoying. But as time went on I just got used to it and eventually it didn't even bother me at all anymore. the worst thing is when he talks to someone who doesn't realize stuttering/stammering is a real medical problem and make fun of him right to his face about it.

I'm glad to know someone here understands my situation. I've never had anyone mock me for my problem, probably because it isn't too severe, but knowing that there are those who will poke fun at others for it really upsets me.

I think you have to ACCEPT your stuttering. Go to your doctor and ask what you can do about it. : ]

But yeah, we have flaws, but stuttering in no way is bad. It can be cute sometimes I guess, but yeah, as a friend, I would accept it. :p

So you should talk thinking "I will speak EVEN if I might stutter, because if I don't try, I might not ever be able to practice saying the word"

Meaning I think you should speak freely and if a stutter happens, be persistent and practice it. : ]

I have trouble with stuttering sometimes as well, not horribly, but pretty much in every other sentence there will be a word or phrase I stumble over or just fail at lol. With mine I think it is an anxiety thing, I get all tense and anxious at the attention I get when I start talking, but if I'm really comfortable with the person I'm talking to, the words just seem to flow naturally. A lot of times I repeat the same word or phrase quickly multiple times, again probably just from tension. It makes me feel ******** but most of my friends don't even acknowledge it anymore lol. Especially nice when I'm trying to tell a joke and I totally train wreck it by stuttering and stumbling and they still laugh when I get to the end lol. One of my friends pokes a little fun but in a good natured way. If I'm tryin to rush n really strugglin she says MEG! JUST CALM DOWN AND FOCUS! lol. If I'm REALLY over excited or anxious its even worse cuz I sort of spaz in the middle of my sentence lol. Its like a nervous twitch. Even I laugh at myself. :)

Maybe it is genetic cuz my brother had a pretty bad time with stuttering as well. He'd start strugglin n then just say goddam it and stop talking.

If my memory is recalling correctly, you were the guy that thought gays were just as bad a pedophiles, but it seems you're religious. That explains it, now I see where your (il)logic was coming from.

How ironic that I haven't been in this thread for months then I randomly come back and find an answer to a previous question.

I've gotten 12 hours of sleep in the last 96 hours. I went for a 30 minute sleep, and my cell phone went off 15 minutes in. FML.

Also, I misplaced my class notes. I've been searching for them all night, still turning up empty, and my final's in 7 hours.
I'm beyond being upset. I'm just tired. Is that a good or bad thing?

Right, because only religious people have a problem with homosexuals :facepalm:

Generally religious sin is plonked into one big category, so comparing it to paedophilia, while incredibly disturbing, it's easy to see your train of thought thanks to your religion. Though I'm sure that a lot of religious people would also find that thought incredibly disturbing.

Anybody get really stressed over something that you know will be resolved eventually, but untill it is it just hangs over you constantly so you can't focus on anything else? Like a big move coming up in the future. All the things to be sorted out, all the details to figure, what if this happens what if that happens. Its like you just want to skip the planning and preparing and have it just be over with. I can't focus on school work or house work or even just relax and play a game or read a book. The only thing I can think about is the fact that we are moving to a different country. It just makes me feel like I have all this pent up anxiety that I can't get rid of.

I'm trying to complete the final draft of my comprehensive literature review but it's difficult because my professor did a very non-descriptive correction of my previous draft, therefore I don't understand why some of the things I wrote are in appropriate :(

Spent an entire week studying for an exam and it wouldn't have made a goddamn difference if I had studied or not because it was just that hard. Now I have 3 days to read 160 pages of organic chemistry for the final. **** this noise.

I was talking about sex to the girl who may be my best friend today and she wouldn't tell me about her experiences. I'm a bit hurt because I have to wonder how close we are or what I mean to her if that's the case. I have two other friends who I feel I'm really close with and I feel like there is almost nothing they wouldn't tell me. I'll ask the other two about stuff and if they do tell me then I don't think I'm going to share any with that first friend of mine again.

There's a thing called "privacy." Believe it or not, but it does exist, even today.

Um that's kind of the point. You don't talk about your sexuality with people you don't know. It's something you'll only discuss to the people who you are close to and the people you care about. I thought that was the relationship that she and I shared, and now I'm not so sure.

You're absolutely ridiculous. Unless you're trying to hook up her, that's not quite a relationship-breaking piece of information. Even then... Either way, you can't expect everyone to hold to the same standards of everything as you.

I'm not being ridiculous, you're being narrow-minded. I'm not sure what you mean by relationship-breaking, I won't stop being friends with her, I'll simply distance myself from her. Regardless of her standards, a relationship where one side is willing tell the other anything but that sentiment is not returned isn't healthy and I will not take part in it.

More like, a relationship where one expects something of the other when the other is not willing to release such information is unhealthy. Perhaps it makes her uncomfortable for some reason? Perhaps she has a higher respect for that kind of thing than you do? There could be any number of reasons. Just because you talk freely of one thing, does not me that everyone should or even cares to.

You've missed the point. How willing she is talk about sensitive topics is irrelevant. What matters here is the relationship, if she is not comfortable sharing personal details with me while I am with her then there is a problem in the relationship.

I was going to question my other two close friends on the same topic, but I just realized that one of them already has told me, and the other one is likely mentally ''special'' so I may not be able to hold that her against her.
