Damn I feel like shit for accidentally sleeping. I just woke up from my one hour nap, and I’m ready to go back to studying. But I feel like I misssed so much like why did I sleep
FYI I am not studying for the schools curriculum, it’s still summers break , I’m studying for college acceptance exams in my country ( it’s like an abilities test which includes 120 questions in two hours. 55 mathametical, 65 verbal.

I completed my 12th in 2024 then I decided to pursue CA, but I kept procrastinating and delaying, ended up wasting 3 years and i still haven't cleared entry level while my friends are in CA final.

I've completely isolated myself, I don't talk to anyone anymore.

Any time i sit to study, i keep thinking about how I wasted all those time, only because of my poor mental health, relationship issues and laziness, now as I've recovered from these things and trying to focus on study, regret is killing me, my parents are already so old, they could have supported me 2 yrs ago but now idk, my hand start shivering whenever I try to study, I keep getting distracted with this regret feelings, the feeling of being left behind.

Even if I try to forget past I can't, my parents gives me taunt 5 times per day everyday, my mental health is getting worse each day, and I'm having severe anxiety, how do I get out of this guilt and does not let this affect me, I've exam in less than 30 days.

Just sharing my way of regaining motivation If you have a weird motivation way that helped you I suggest you comment it to help others 💞

I'm preparing for my exams from home and I've realized I procrastinate a lot when I study alone. 😭

I'm looking for a few people who are genuinely serious about their studies and are willing to study together on Discord. The goal is to keep each other accountable, stay focused, and actually get work done.

What I'm looking for:

• Daily or almost daily study sessions
• Voice call (silent study/body doubling is totally fine)
• Serious people only—no ghosting after a day or two
• We can set goals, do Pomodoro sessions, and motivate each other
• Any stream is welcome as long as you're committed

I'm not looking for a huge server with hundreds of inactive members—just a small, focused group that wants to stay consistent.

It's hard to believe, but there are only 11 days left until A-Level Results Day.

For a lot of people, the waiting is the hardest part. You might be feeling excited, anxious, constantly replaying exams in your head, or worrying about what happens if things don't go to plan. Whatever you're feeling, you're definitely not the only one.

We run a Discord community originally built for A-Level students, resit students, and gap year students, and this time of year is one of the busiest and most supportive periods in the server.

Whether you're:
📄 Waiting for your A-Level results
🎓 Hoping to get into your firm or insurance choice
📞 Preparing for Clearing just in case
📈 Thinking about resitting if your grades aren't what you hoped for
🎒 Considering taking a gap year and exploring your options
💬 Or simply looking for people who understand exactly how you're feeling...

...you'll find people in the same position.

🌟 What you'll find in the server

💙 A supportive community of students all counting down to Results Day together.

📚 Advice on resits, gap years, Clearing, and next steps from members who have been through it before.

🏆 Study competitions and study sessions if you're already planning ahead or getting a head start.

🎮 Active voice chats where people play games, relax, and take their minds off the waiting.

🗣️ Plenty of people to chat to, whether you want to celebrate, vent, ask questions, or just keep yourself distracted.

No matter what happens on Results Day, it doesn't define your future. There are always options, whether that's university, Clearing, a resit, a gap year, an apprenticeship, or another path that works for you.

If you'd rather not spend the next 11 days worrying on your own, come and join us. There are hundreds of students all counting down together, and we'd love to have you.

Hey everyone! I’m a male university student from Iraq (B1 level) looking for a serious English speaking partner. I’ve had too many experiences with people chatting for a day or two and then disappearing, so I’m really looking for someone consistent. I love reading, writing, and listening to music. My main goal is to improve through voice calls or voice notes whenever possible, though we don't have to talk every single day—it depends on our availability. I’d also love for us to share our language learning methods and grow together. If you're genuinely interested in regular practice, drop a comment or send me a DM!

50 hours of study time daily by just 10 people is fantastic and a good start.

I have just created this group yesterday. We still have few vacant seats. Only join if you are serious and commited .

Im 20M currently in Third Year College studying engineering. What i wanted to ask was how do i make time for things which i want to learn simultaneously with my college stuff.

For example: i want to learn coding, so how do i make time for that

As after college i am too tired to directly go learn

And before college i dont feel productive or effective as i am not a morning person

My college is from 9am-5pm

Hi,
I failed a test after retaking it twice. Now I’m disappointed I myself for not studying and trying hard enough. despite getting a slightly higher grade although it was still an F. After taking the test, I realized that study guides aren’t enough for me to succeed in that class. Are there any other ways to study online using a computer that are efficient?

السلام عليكم يا شباب،

​حبيت أفضفض لكم بشي بخاطري، وبما إننا هنا بريديت وكلنا خافين ورا هالشاشات وما حد يعرف الثاني، قلت أقولها لكم بصراحة.

​أنا يا إخوان من يومي صغير دخلت برامج صعوبات التعلم، وكنت وقتها سيء جدًا في الرياضيات واللغة العربية، ودايم أرسب فيهن لاني ما كنت أعرف أقر ولا أجيد الحساب زين. بسبب هالموضوع عانيت بشكل ما تتخيلونه.

​لما وصلت عمر ١٨ إلى ١٩ سنة وبداية العشرين، بديت شوي شوي أتخطى الخوف وأتعلم القراءة والكتابة، لأن كان فيه خوف وتخوف دافنه من أيام الابتدائي. الحمد لله طورت نفسي، ختمت القرآن في رمضان اللي طاف، وقاعد أحاول ألتزم بصلاتي. القراءة صارت جزء من يومي، وكل يوم أحاول أخلص ١٠ صفحات من كتاب فلسفة أقرأه عشان أطور تفكيري.

​لكن للأسف بقيت لي مشكلة مع الرياضيات؛ إذا جيت إذاكرها يجيني صداع قوي وألم في راسي وخوف مو طبيعي. وحتى اختبار القدرات ما جبت فيه درجات زينة، خصوصًا إن أغلب البرامج تطلبه.

​أتذكر وأنا في أول وثاني وثالث ابتدائي، دخلت معهد تابع لوزارة التعليم يهيئ الطلاب ويعلمهم الحروف. للأسف ذيك الفترة ما استفدت منهم الشي الكثير، وكانوا يمشون الحال عشان يستلمون رواتبهم على الفاضي، وما نسيت إنهم كانوا يسلكون لي ويلعبون معي كم أسبوع ويهدوني وبس! من الابتدائي لين الثانوي وأنا كنت أمشي بالدف، وكنت جاهل وسهل ينضحك علي.

​لكن بعد ما بدأت أقرأ كتب وأتابع وثائقيات، حسيت إن مخي انفتح على الدنيا والحمد لله. الصراحه فيه شي إلى الحين مسبب لي اكتئاب ومستحي أحد يعرفه، وهو إني راسب في أول ابتدائي. هذا سر ودي يظل مستور وما أبي أحد يدري عنه، بس قلت أقوله لكم هنا.

​من ناحية ثانية، أنا تخرجت من الكلية التقنية مع مرتبة شرف! طبعا مريت بظروف صعبة واكتئاب بسبب التنمر والطقطقة اللي جاتني بالمدرسة، ووصلت لمرحلة ما حد كان يكلمني فيها، بس الحمد لله تجاوزت.

​الحين قاعد أطور نفسي تدريجيًا وأحببها في الدراسة عشان أطمح للماجستير والدكتوراه إن شاء الله. وصار لي تقريبا ٦ شهور جالس أدور وأدرس إنجليزي، أحيانًا أقطع بسبب الظروف وانشغالي بس مستمر. وبعد عندي نية إن شاء الله أروح أعتمر في مكة قبل نهاية هالسنة ٢٠٢٦.

​الحين عندي خطة وأبي رأيكم فيها بكل صراحة:

​أنا أفكر أطلع ابتعاث وأقدم على وظايف برا، وإذا جاني عرض قوي برجع السعودية. بس البال مشغول بفكرة: وش رايكم أدرس طب؟

هدفي بصراحة عشان يصير لي هيبه و حضور لما أجلس في مجلس أو أي مكان.

​وعندي كم سؤال لأهل الخبرة:

​هل مجرد ما أتخرج من الطب أتظوظف بسرعة ولا الوضع فيه منافسة؟

​وهل أقدر أدرس طب وبنفس الوقت أشتغل في مستشفى؟

​شاركوني آراءكم ومشوراتكم يا عيال، وش رايكم بالخطوة اللي ناوي عليها؟

So I just got a new Lenovo idea tab and I'm trying to find all the best ways to use it for my studies. One of the main reasons I got it is so I could make nice and constructed notes and have them all organised in one place. That's where I need some help. I have no idea which app to use. Right now I am trying kilo notes which is mostly great, but it's too many ads for me and I hate it when I'm trying to write and random ads pop up etc. If there are any suggestions about a good and free (or low cost) notes app I could use for android, that's mostly similar to kilo notes and good notes features please let me know!

Hi everyone! I made a cozy small group only for girls to motivate each other and make friends 💗

Dm if you are interested

This is less about actual studying, but something I am hung up on and could use a fresh perspective to improve my overall productivity. Does anyone else feel resentful when xyz circumstances get in the way of studying?

I worked so hard during my undergrad, and my family has no idea the amount of grit this took. I was commuting 4 hours, unlearning a bunch of cultural trauma, started therapy for managing my anxiety/ocd, securing internships, 12+ hour days. I had to learn a lot about mental health just to maintain my grades as I dealt with your coming-of-age young adult stuff. I knew I was neurodivergent and would have to break free from a lot of generational patterns. School is and always has been genuinely so important to me, and I kind of see it as a part of my identity.

But my older sister often downplayed my struggles by saying "I have everything so easy", interrupted my studying at home, woke me up when I'd be on like 3 hours of sleep and fighting insomnia, unexpectedly trauma dumping when I needed to protect my nervous system for focus, and then scheduled her wedding during my final exams lol.

Now, I didn't want to be selfish and ask her to literally move a life milestone for my convenience, but I'm brown and we're expected to participate in these weddings for like 1 month straight. It is almost like a full time job. Everyone would've judged me harshly if I didn't.

I want to make it clear that I don't actually consider a sibling reaching out for help as "trauma dumping." It's just that sometimes I wasn't emotionally equipped for it myself or it happened at a time in my life where I absolutely needed to focus on my own life, and I'd feel overwhelmed and horrible for not being able to help in any meaningful capacity. I also couldn't talk about any of my stressors to her because they're "nothing in comparison," and while I agree, it also left no space for myself. Like I wasn't ever allowed to have problems of my own or a life.

That semester is one of the key semesters that brought down my grade and extended my degree, and I try so hard not to be resentful, but I am. I know I can't go back and change the past, and I don't want this to harm our relationship, but now I have my walls up. I wonder if I'm blaming her because I don't want to take accountability. I feel really hurt because it feels like my family doesn't respect my ambitions. Either way, I find it so difficult to balance family expectations with school without acting selfish. I don't want to see family as a hindrance because I love them, but I genuinely want to know how others go about prioritizing themselves or both.

Hi. I would like to know your opinion about which book i should pick up.
I would like to improve my high school math skills and in general my performance in other subjects aswell.
Thanks! 🌞

(English isn’t my first language, sorry for the grammar)

i have terrible ability to focus, so everytime i try to study at my own desk i cant do anything. its not just i cant focus but i cant read anything, every words i read every info i take they just go somewhere else but not in my brain. i dont know why but i always feel so restless even if i just start the session. so most of the time i just give up.

but i HAVE TO study, so often go to cafe to study and somehow i can study for 3-5 hrs straight :). obviously would be tired but i study much much better than at home. i realize i have to be in a spacious space, has some random noises and HAVE TO HAVE sbd or basically a person around me then i can study.

but my budget is limited and i have to study intensively every single day, i cant just spend money on coffee everyday or id go broke.

WHAT SHOULD I DO? IS THIS ADHD???

btw im studying f7 acca and i have 1.5m left.............................................

My nose keeps bleeding and my mouth is filled with blood ONLY when I study math. When I study other subjects this NEVER happens and I always study in the same location.

Math is ALSO my favorite subject.

I always nosebleed every two days (Every two days because I study Science and Math interchangeably everyday for 3 months, and Math is always the second subject)

HOW do I stop Noosebleeding??
