  • I was in a similar situation to yours. K-12 was easy enough that I did well on test and assignments without ever having to develop good study skills.

    So, naturally, when I got to college, I was woefully unprepared to cope. I was at a small institution where 90% of the student body was an academic overachiever in high school, so there were few enough students like me that the university didn’t have a dedicated tutoring place where one could pick up some study skills. Combine that with possible undiagnosed ADD and mental health problems, and it’s a wonder I managed to graduate.




  • I do it because it’s the least worst option available to me. If I hit the gym at lunchtime it’s usually fairly packed and I have a hard time getting the machines I like. But if I go in when the gym opens before work, then I can get in, get my sweat on, then shower+change+etc before work.

    I wake up at 6, am dressed and out the door by 630, rolling into the gym parking lot at 655, and waiting by the door when they unlock it at 7.

    I don’t enjoy it for intrinsic reasons. I’ve always been a night owl. But I do like the effects of it - in the last year since I started going before work, I have needed a sleep aid fewer than five times.
