The Gambit That Broke Me 

good RU-vid frog 🐸

Finished my undergraduate thesis last year. Almost didn't graduate since I ghosted my advisor. Thankfully, she didn't give up on us (I had a couple of groupmates that also don't respond) and kept pestering us to finish it. Finally snapped and crammed the shit out of it in a week. Turned I didn't need groupmates and just finished it almost all by myself. I had to give them work so they won't fail. My procrastination almost made a group of students not graduate on time. Learned my lesson that time.

writing my undergrad thesis rn and in my school if you don't update your advisor constantly you straight up fail lmao he/she grades like 50% of the entire thing

Writing my masters by research thesis in marketing right now. All your points are true

I just realized that a bunch of chat messages said the same thing so he probably already read it

honestly i dont get how that is supposed to help people who got back pain from laying in bed too much. i think the main way to avoid back pain is to build a strong core and doing regular exercise and stretching. not like im doing that but just in theory

​@@Otzkarthere's also different kinds of back pains. The most common one (I think) comes from your muscles around your lower back not being in good enough shape so they can't consistently hold up your back perfectly in all positions. So when the body feels the back starting to "slip", not actually slipping but you get the vibe, it panics and tenses them like crazy. That's what hurts. Luckily it's relatively easy to avoid by staying in shape so your body won't have to panic like that, basically 100% solving the issue. It also doesn't give any permanent damage, so don't feel like it's too late if you start getting these kinds of pain. Though probably talk with some professional about it so you know what kinda exercise is going to work without being too dangerous and risking leading into the next point. You can also get back pains from your nerves physically getting pinched by your spine and that is a lot harder to fix. You'll often need some surgery and that's still not guaranteed. My grandma has had this kinda pain for more than half her life and it's never been 100% fixed, even with surgeries. My sister also got it in her early twenties but it seems like the surgery she got luckily fixed it. Though I'm in no way educated in this. Just got family with some of these issues and a mother who is very educated in it and tries to get me to work out more. So don't take this blindly as true.

He HAS normal hands

@@eduardo_moya Okay alt

Nah, he has glancer

​@@eduardo_moyabefore the Glancer, so tragic.

Exact same here. Especially the 48h of cramming and straight into a week of not doing anything productive part. It's like I've spent up some video game stamina meter entirely and need to wait for it to recharge to 100% again before I can do anything. Having two assignments that needs to be done close to eachother always means one of them won't get done.

Never take advice from someone who played league

congrats tho bro 🎉

Maybe the healthy thing is not feeling guilty about the way you work. As long as you're not failing, you are fine!

@@MrAllallalla I dont work. I am failing

I'm convinced this is why I haven't had back problems yet. Bad posture, but I fidget my position pretty often.

Get out now, I did that too and it doesn’t even occur to you how much it’s hurting you until you go back to sleeping normal hours and realize how much happier you are. Or this is satire and I’m dumb

@@TheAmazingShane4hard disagree. i switched for a while to a daylight schedule and it made me tired stressed out and miserable all the time. obviously it’s a problem if you never see any other people but imo the best thing to do is just sleep when your tiered

​@@TheAmazingShane4my gf and i swapped to the night shift schedule for awhile. once we swapped back to day shift, we definitely saw a huge difference in mood, for the better. Most people definitely need sunlight or it's equivalent to feel more optimal

Person here that works like that, it's just small progress over short periods of time. Much easier to work on something when you're not stressing over a deadline. It's not like I'm working with the same intensity but for way longer. Also, for things like theses or essays, ive been both a "12 week" person and a "12 hour"/procrastinating crammer person. The biggest difference? When im not cramming, i find i often give much more time to the structure and framework of what i need to do. I figure out ahead of time how i approach the work im doing and the steps i need to take. It's waaay easier to do work like that when you have a blueprint to follow. Meanwhlle, when cramming, you kinda just have to go for it and improvise on the way, and since you dont have time to fully think it through, you'll constantly find yourself filling gaps you realize you have or having much more filler than you'd like

@@Pyxyty well its not like I dont realise all of this but the mentality is more like, why would I spend 12 weeks doing this when I can do it in 12 hours for a minimally worse result? or imagine if you could cram the same 12 hours of work like once a week for all 12 weeks you do like 12 assignments worth of work would be crazy. It just never happens its a really strange phenomenon to know that so many people cram stuff the day before.

hell yeas

Genius comes with its side effects, if he didn’t do this shit he likely wouldn’t achieve anymore than he has

Also the inheritance helped
