"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

The thing about infrastructure is you never fully understand it from studying architecture on a whiteboard. You have to apply it by building or using that type of infrastructure when solving a problem in the real world. If you have an old repository, I would suggest on implementing one the databases you talked in class or at least think about how you would implement it.
Yeah that'd be a fun project. I like how our teacher actually talks about Real World Applications this semester as well.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

For the ones your having issues with get a tutor. One of the main points of college is to learn how you learn best. You need to be in the moment and digesting information thats not necessarilly your preference. Its a good skill to have. Learn how to be in the moment and focus. Apply time and resources to achieve objectives.
I agree. Also, you're the third person that has told me to get a tutor. I'm gonna get on that whenever I swing by the library tomorrow.

Coffee, adderall.

Also personally I've found if I go to bed early and get up really early and give myself several hours before I go off to work I do some of my best work.
^This. Go home, get some sleep in and start very early in the morning.

I don’t do all-nighters for work anymore. Go to bed at 5pm to 7pm the evening before, then get up at 2, 3, 4 in the morning as necessary and work then.

I once went to bed at 5pm, got up at midnight, worked at home for six plus hours, then went into work at 7am for a full day.
