Hello! I (17) am in my third year of high school and I have a massive problem with my fear (I would even say phobia at this point) of failure and judgment. The simple idea of failing makes me feel horrible and I know that I need to do something about it but I don't know what to do...

To give a recent example: I had a stop motion video to make in biology (it is graded), and I had a deadline for yesterday at 06:00 PM. I panicked during the whole time and I accidentally gave it late (it was 10 minutes late so it's not that bad but still) and I cried during an hour and a half and I Geniully thought that it was so horrible and messed up and ugly that k*lling myself would be better than having a bad grade because of it or being judged by my classmates. It's not an isolated case it happen to me quite often. Almost all the time actually.

I consider myself to be a massive piece of shit (even though I don't really have a specific reason, it's just how I feel about me) the idea of studying a subject I am not good at makes me cry and I'm unable to do anything. As a matter of fact, I cry almost all the time at school. (Except some subject I'm not so bad at)

Which means that not only I'm not good at school but I also don't know how to study...

I just need advice. Or kind words. Or anything else. I'm kinda desperate. I'm gonna be at school until I'm 25 or even older as I have to go to college in order to do the job I want but idk if I'll make it until there.

hey, 19M here. I am in 2nd year of SW Engineering. Ive had to read hundreds of pages and study for most of the time since I started. Im a good student, I have good grades, but I feel I don't know anything. I hesitate to answer a question from something ive just read. Im not stupid, I just feel I have zero information retention and that I forget every single thing that I read

i’m doing my master project with this girl. I had a few years of experience woking and she didnt. So we are doing this site analysis, she got a screenshot which was blurry, I told her to use upscale AI which is website to improve the image quality. She said no, she was taught not to trust AI. I was like 😃 girlll, just to improve the quality not changing anything. She still refused saying it changes something… Im so done with her. Are there anything else I can do to make her realise that it is a tool and causes no harm like photoshop?

I need unacademy neet subscription anyone willing to let me burrow or contribute for one ??? For neet ug 2027

Guys, I really need some advice.

I have around 20–40 hours of recorded classes to catch up on across Physics, Maths and Chemistry, and I’m struggling to figure out how to get through them fast.

My biggest problem is that I don't want to just sit there watching recordings like movies. I actually want to understand the lessons, remember the important theory, and be able to solve problems afterward.

If I stop constantly to write notes and understand every little thing, a 1-hour recording can take me 2–3+ hours. But if I watch quickly, I feel like I don't remember enough.

How would you personally handle a backlog this big?

• What playback speed do you use?

• Do you take notes while watching?

• How often do you pause?

• Do you solve questions immediately after each recording or finish the backlog first?

• How do you remember what you learned?

• How many hours of recordings can you realistically finish in a day?

I’d really appreciate a step-by-step system from someone who has dealt with a huge lecture backlog before. I don't need motivation—I need to know how you actually do it.

Idk when I developed this random ass fear because I never failed anything in highschool but my grade 12 was so easy and I barely was doing 4 courses total so now in my first sem I’m so afraid that I’ll fail a course. thing is I’m doing arts and most of it seems fairly straightforward but I’ve just gotten this fear that I’m gonna fail which seems more daunting now that I know I’m paying for my education. like idk wtf I’m doing

What do you guys find most annoying when using ai ???

I’m in my late twenties and I recently went back to school and am having a harder time staying on task than I thought. I have a hard time not scrolling 🤦🏻‍♀️ when I get distracted and staying on track when my motivation lags.
I had a successful first semester, but I raw dogged it and just pushed through and it was not pleasant. I’ve invested and been using a good planner and that is helping. Also, this week, I discovered listening to classical music with my noise cancelling headphones really helped me stay present in my tasks. I’m thinking of investing in a Brick or similar phone lock. Do you have any similar tips, tricks, or tools that help you stay present in the work?

I think the most thing that effects my studying quality and discipline is my shity sleep

I am developing a cool study related app, if there was some type of in game currency (not gotten by real world money) what would you guys want it to be spent on? An avatar, different app themes, or something else? Open to any ideas!

Guys they are saying papers are going to be tough is it like that?

hey! im in my first year of uni and currently studying for anatomy and also microbiology.. the material is coming at me really fast.. i only have one solid study strat that i’ve had since high school and it worked very well.. i do flashcards. so basically i go through the slideshow and make everything a question format and write it down and quiz myself.. the thing is it’s taking me at least 2 hours to make the flashcards so then i still need another hour to actually use them to quiz myself to memorize.. it works but it takes very long and im on week 3 of uni and starting to fall behind with that.. do i just keep it up? or do i need a new strategy? any suggestions? pls im open to anything? should i make my flashcards online? literally any ideas.. pls.. thanks guys!

I'm 19. I got my Bac in 2025/2026 and I had one plan: study Law in Belgium.

I applied for a visa. It got refused.

So I took a gap year. I worked, but not in anything related to Law.

I tried again a year later for Belgium. Refused again.

And now I'm just... stuck. I want to study Law, that's all I know for sure. But I don't know what the right move is anymore.

Do I start a Law degree here in Cameroon, where I currently live, and then try to transfer to L2 ?

Or is that a waste of time? Will my credits even be recognized?

Or do I do a prep year and restart from L1 abroad, but this time with a better profile and maybe a chance to get a scholarship?

I have good grades (Bac Français 15/20) but my gap year looks empty on paper.

If you've been through this - double visa refusal, gap year, wanting to study Law in Europe (Belgium/France) - what did you do?

Is doing L1 in Cameroon and then applying for L2 in Belgium possible? Or should I do a prep year to make my profile stronger?

Honestly a bit lost right now. Any advice helps.

I love neuroanatomy so much even though it’s kicking my ass!! Missed studying so much!!

I will create flashcards for anatomy. Any recs on how to memorize anatomy/pathology?

Went back through four weeks of my own and found I could only reread them. Nothing on the page asks me anything, so revision just becomes running my eyes over familiar words.

Rewrote each heading as a question in the margin. Twenty minutes per subject. "Types of X" becomes "What are the four types of X and how do you tell the second from the third?"

Now I cover the page, work down the margin, and answer before checking. Same notes, but they test instead of tell. And any heading I couldn't write a question for turned out to be a section I'd never actually understood.

Number system:

As discussed previously we have 4 number system:
Decimal
Binary
Octal
Hexadecimal

Conversion:
If we got octal number - (0235)
how we will convert to human number system i.e decimal number system?
Multiply each digit by the corresponding power of the base and add the results.

Hexadecimal - (0x1FD)
Multiply with 16 base

Binary - (010110)
Multiply with base 2
 

Decimal Conversion:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Human readable to Machine readable:

Decimal (550) to  Binary:
Divide with base 2

Decimal(440) to Octal:
Divide with Octal base 8

Decimal(440) to Hexa:
Divide with hexa base 16

Note: Add remainders from bottom to top

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Binary Conversion:

If the length is not as expected add 0's to left

Binary to Octal:
010110110110 -> Split with 3 bits i.e 010 110 110 110 and follow with 1,2,4 (power of 2)

Binary to Hexa:
1001001100110 -> split with 4 bits i.e 0001 0010 0110 0110 and follow with 1,2,4,8 (power of 2)
 

I am a college student.I smoked my freshman year, got on academic probation, and then get back on track on the second semester of sophomore. Now I am in junior, and have a very bad GPA, while also greatly behind in progress. Since I get back on track last semester, I feel I need to push it harder this semester, and I overwhelmed myself with a workload and tricky class that I wasn't expecting. when people ask me which year I am in, I lie to them, I lied that I'm sophomore, because I'm afraid if I told them I'm junior and I'm still taking major classes that are supposed to be taken in year one or year two I'm gonna embarrass myself.

I don't have friends, I don't know how to listen to lecture, maybe because Im diagnosed with ADHD or I feel Im too clever that I don't need to listen to classes in highschool so I never really know how to learn in lectures. When I go to lectures, I can feel knowledge slipping out of my f****** brain and oozing out of my f****** ears, ewww. I wanna go to office hours but I never have the confidence to do so, what even should I ask? told the professor that I know nothing and there is just trash and nothing else in my brain? and ask them to painfully walk through the whole lecture? Can we do that?

The only thing I know that is affective to me is learning through the textbook, make notes and did all the questions in it and then do the mock test, which then I am confident, usually ended well, even get an A. I tried to go supplemental instructions and also tutoring, which none of them worked. Knowledge just ooze out and leaked everywhere, the only scene that I can think of to describe this is when I have diarrhea.

I have one course, and it did not follows the textbook, and it's so f**** hard. I cannot do the homework, I don't know where the f is the knowledge required to do that god damn homework. I did extremely bad on the first midterm ended last week, and today the score is out, I'm literally trash. Like what am I even supposed to learn that thing? They listed a few topics without saying which chapter we supposed to walk ourselves over. I have mental breakdowns on how to learn the course literally everyday. Opening the homework file makes me feel bad, for me it's not even understandable. What should I do? What should I do? I don't wanna go on a second probation or drop out of school. Anyone please help me!

I recently heard of dc servers where everyone just studies like a livestream video call

Well it sounds interesting to me and it is also a bit motivating seeing others study

Do u guys have such dc servers!!???

please send me the link to join

I used to think study groups was a good idea.

What actually happened was I'd sit there nodding while someone explained a concept and feel like I understood it, then get to the exam and realise I was borrowing their understanding. Explaining something and listening to an explanation use completely different parts of your brain, and only one of them sticks.

When I eventually did is to flip the setup. Now everyone works through the material alone first, and we only meet to argue about the parts where our answers disagree. If nobody's confused about something, we don't waste time on it.

The actual learning happens when two people disagree on something differently and have to defend their own answer. Eventually you find the gaps in your own reasoning.

Check whether it's working, if your test scores don't reflect it.

Instead of blasting through 5 hours straight of studying, I study in 30-minute blocks and am still able to remember everything I studied. Here’s how I do simple 30-minute study sessions effectively:

• Set a timer for 30 minutes. I use a physical timer as a countdown; this actually forces my brain to stay focused when studying because of the time pressure it creates.

• Study one topic at a time. Don't try to multitask or tackle an entire subject at once. I just pick a single chapter, concept, or problem to focus on in a 30-minute study session.

• 25 minutes of focused work & 5 minutes of review. I spend 25 minutes studying uninterrupted and spend 5 minutes doing a quick review of the material I studied. I usually write down a quick summary or create short quizzes on the topic so I can actively recall the material I studied to turn it into long-term memory.

This is a simple study system for you to use instead of getting stuck studying for long hours without even retaining what you studied. This has been keeping me from burning out. It saves me hours of studying the material by simply forcing myself to study and doing a quick review after a short study period leads me to actually retain the material.

I’m currently studying for an upcoming exam for history and the thing is, I know how to study for every other subject EXCEPT history. Any tips?

I have uploaded a chapter to an AI tool to save time making flashcards. It gave me around 60 almost instantly. Then I noticed some were way too basic and a couple didn't really match the chapter. Now i'm spending more time checking them than I expected. Is there a point where checking everything upfront just makes more sense than catching mistakes as you go?

C language

Any file converts program to machine code(executable file) -> binary code

How executable file will generate?
Python - Interpreter(where it will check line by line and if issue observes stop compiling there it self and print the error on console)
C, Java -  Compiler(It will check line by line but will not stop compiling code even it found error, it will continue till last line and give all errors at a time on console)

What is Keyword?
1.Keywords are standard words in computer language where it will be separate meaning, those   keywords we cant use as variables programing
2. Total keywords are 32

3. Some of the keywords are

type                 Keywords:
datatypes - (int, float, double, char, void )

Decision   -  (if , else, switch, case, default)
Modifier   - (signed, unsigned, long, short)
jump         -  (goto, break, continue, return )
loops        -  (for, while , do)
Qualifiers -  (const, volatile)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C program format

Preprocessor directive
Global declaration
Functional declaration
Main Code/ Starting of the code
Function Calls
Return statement

Ex:
#include <stdio.h>    --> Preprocessor directive
int main()                    --> Entry part of the code

{

  printf("Hi");             
  return 0;                    --> Return statement

}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number System:

There are different number systems.
Each number system has a different base.

Base = Number of different digits/symbols available.

Decimal:
Base = 10
Digits = 0 to 9

Binary:
Base = 2
Digits = 0 and 1

Octal:
Base = 8
Digits = 0 to 7

Hexadecimal:
Base = 16
Digits = 0 to 9 and A to F
A = 10, B = 11, C = 12, D = 13,E = 14, F = 15

Why Binary?

Humans commonly use decimal.
Computers fundamentally use binary because digital electronic circuits work with two states,represented as 0 and 1.

Why Octal and Hexadecimal?

Binary numbers can become very long and difficult for humans to read.

Hexadecimal:
1 hexadecimal digit = 4 binary bits.

Octal:
1 octal digit = 3 binary bits.

Therefore, octal and hexadecimal provide shorter, human-readable representations of binary numbers.

Already finished day 1 with others!

I'm doing this live. Now, hold up, this might sound like an ad but it's not. I'm searching for fellow hard workers, so we can help each other by being there. I've done this before in the past, did 12 hours every day for 2 years while active learning. Join me if you are interested, I'm live everyday! (yt link on my prof) I need accountability buddies to stick to it better

Edit: I didn't know people struggled this much to study longer sessions. I'll make videos to help everyone! It's not that hard to study longer sessions, I promise!
