"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.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
I have finals next.Monday and I ended up getting sick on Tuesday . As of today I'm feeling a lot better and really.need to study. I'm toying with the idea of.making a huge dent , 90% of my studying done, tonight. Has anyone ever studied all night? I have plenty of caffeine and mental stimulants to get me.through but not sure if.its a good idea. I just don't want to fall short on these exams, what do you guys think?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Yes. Just fvcking study dude.

Like royal said though,at least get some sleep, like 2 hours.

Do 90% of your studying not jsut tonight, but every night until the test if you're seriously serious about it.

Many, many times. I'd recommend at least 3hrs of sleep, especially if the exam requires math or logical reasoning instead of just regurgitating facts
Well the exams aren't until Monday but I want to get this studying out of.the way. Do you find it more relaxing at night? I've heard.studying in the AM is more.... calming

Oh, in that case I'd say no. If you're an internet junkie like I am, the internet "dies down" past 12am or so so its easier to study/write papers or whatever. But its hard to force yourself to study late at night unless you absolutely have to, and its not quality study either.

I have a 12pg paper due at 12pm tomorrow that I'm about halfway finished, a 3 hour cumulative exam at 6pm I havent studied, then a 3 hour cumulative Ive barely studied for at 12pm Saturday. Should be fun.

Holy crap, that's really rough dude good luck with that. I am an internet junkie as well so that's why I think studying.late night won't be so bad. Add some caffeine and.call it a.day. Are you a graduate student Royal?

Dont overdo with caffeine or other stimulants, researches shown that they help when it comes of concentration and attention but decrease memory of those notions.

Of course try to sleep as much as possible since its during sleep that the brain turn short term memory into long term one.

I found out that while studying it helps me to have something to drink,even water cause for those few seconds you need to grab the glass your logical processes gets relieved.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

It's allright man. JUST get enough sleep the night before exam. If in doubt, have a beer so you're not nervous and can sleep. That's how we do it in Germany ;)

Before that evening however, cram all you want.

I would advise doing several hours of study per day up until the day before your exam. On the day before exams I usually give my notes a brief once over, making bullet points of the most important points and then get an early night. I would advice at least eight hours of sleep prior to an examination. Have a good breakfast, have a glass or two of water or tea and then be on your way.

Good luck for your examination.

I usually take the opposite approach. I study hard the days leading up to it, but I get TONS of sleep. Then, the night before, I study all night. I've done all-nighters before, but I usually try to get a couple hours of sleep if possible. I drink caffeine during the night, and I drink a big coffee during the exam.

Of course, other people think I'm freaking crazy, but it's worked for me.

Yeah i ended up sleeping and studied for 8 hours today 4/4 split between my two exams. I still have 2 days to study so i should be good. @ Who Dares Win depends on the stim. Piracetum, DMAE, Hup. A, all increase mental focus and memory uptake. Caffeine is just the kicker if you dont have enough energy.

Lol Jesus AR you're insane you pull all nighters before an exam?! eh whatever works for you but thats insane ha.

Ill just hit the books hard again tomorrow so i dont have to study a lot sunday night.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Haha I remember my last day of undergrad, I had 2 finals within 2 hours of each other - in my two hardest classes! That was the last true all-nighter I pulled, but I rocked that sh!t! They say you get your energy from the previous night's sleep...I believe it.
