It's a bit late me asking this when I'm a few hours out from a big exam but that's what motivated me to do so

All I do is read through the notes and make my own notes, which are usually an attempt to restate the main points more succinctly. I never look back on my notes, and even if I do they don't really help.
I at least feel like I kinda understand it when I'm doing that but then all the knowledge leaves me shortly after.
Then when it comes time to revise it feels like I'm practically re-learning everything again. It feels horribly inefficient and I'm amazed I manage to get decent scores.
I'm sure going back over them periodically and not just before an exam would help me remember stuff but I guess my method is so time consuming and I lack discipline so I barely feel like I have time to do that because I'm struggling enough just keeping up.
>>
>>33957638
Well, right now with just a few hours away the best you can do is just well cram the way you have, only got a couple hours left after all.
As for in general:
>I at least feel like I kinda understand it when I'm doing that but then all the knowledge leaves me shortly after.
>Then when it comes time to revise it feels like I'm practically re-learning everything again.
As a serial procrastinator I fell into that often, and especially now deep in my bachelor it caused some big issues.
Stuff like the "kinda understand it" was common, and for me it was mainly through skimming the material and getting the rough idea of what I was meant to do, rather than actually learning anything. And of course, you'll forget it.
So, the solution is to truly study to understand, and that well can take weeks. Instead of glossing over things, you have to take the time to really understand it. You need to ingrain it into you, and if you're not used to that it'll be damn slow, and requires active studying throughout the entire course.
There should be no "revising time", that should just be your day to day.
>I'm sure going back over them periodically and not just before an exam would help me remember stuff
The "periodic" part won't just help you remember, but it is how you actually learn anything to begin with. What you're doing now is just gorging on a lot of info, then regurgitating it soon after, being left with nothing. The kind of people I knew who did well in academia were the kind who wouldn't study the day before an exam to relax, since everything was already set in stone for them by then.
>lack discipline
Well, this is where that got you. And likely this has been rooted in you, and will be incredibly difficult to change. If you realize this will lead to failure it's your choice now how much you want to try to change, since I can assure you this will just keep getting worse if left unmitigated.

What’s the subject?

For technical subjects, like math, physics, cs, engineering, doing problems is king. Especially homeworks and past exams.
For humanities, try what people sometimes call active recall. Write your own question (optional), and try to answer/teach the subject to an empty class. Verbalized, not just in your head.
For facts and figures, dates, etc., use flashcards or anki. You only need to know how to double sided cards and cloze in anki. Don’t learn more features, don’t watch videos about anki, don’t participate in anki online communities. It’s procrastination.

All three have 1 thing in common. They test your understanding and knowledge about the subject. It’s very easy to delude yourself, think you “understand” the subject if you don’t test it.

>>
>>33957638
1) Read the upcoming material before the lecture. Do a smattering of the problems. Note anything that's giving you trouble.
2) Attend the lecture, listening carefully and only taking notes of things you hadn't already picked up from the text (tricks, traps, etc). If the problems you noted in step (1) aren't answered by the lecturer, ask questions at the appropriate time.
3) Do the homework assignment (if any), noting anything that gives you trouble.
4) When you get the graded assignment back, make sure you understand exactly how you got the wrong answers wrong and how to get the correct answer. Ask the lecturer for help during office hours if necessary. Write down the correct answers (needed for step 5).
5) When studying for the exam, re-read the texbook sections and lecture notes, and solve the homework questions that you missed the first time, verifying that you can now get the correct answers that you helpfully saved during step 4.
6) When you get the graded exam back, Jot down the outlines of the problems you missed and make sure you understand exactly how you got the wrong answers wrong and how to get the correct answer (needed for finals). Ask the lecturer for help during office hours if necessary. Make sure to write down the correct answers (needed when studying for the final).

I was a neet from 24-33 and I got out of it by myself, slowly. One thing at the time. Now life is pretty good, nice place, good job, social life, relationship.

OP, never ever feel entitled to anything. The pityparty must end now. You have to do all the hard work. You can make it if you really want it. It's almost january.
Get a job, flip burgers. Workout at home or the gym. Study in the evening. Maybe you can stay longer at your parents house if they see you actually improving.

anons should i give up?
im at uni right now and I wanted to lots of friends and go out lots and get out of my shell but its shit. I do plenty of stuff, sports, societies, volunteering and its all just ass

in a few hours time ill be at waterpolo, ill ride in a car there and talk to nobody since thyre all talking loudly in french since half of the waterpolo club is female french law exchange students (my flat is also half female french law exchange students, I fucking hate the french). ill get there and practice waterpolo, im like giga shit, the shittest person there, the other newbs got better quicker than me but im getting better slowly, but its hard and exhausting. However thyre kinda rushing me since im the only new guy to join waterpolo this year and they need more on the mens team. The captain is ofc congratulating me for anything good i do (which actually works cuz im weak willed) but i still havent really talked to anybody. Then I walk home to campus.

This kinda sums up my experience of going out, not making any friends, talking to like one or two people max and knowing them as an acquaintance, being one of the few (or only) guys to join this year. My uni is a campus uni an hours walk out of town so its hard to go to a proper pub or anything. The stuff I do is only at par or dubiously better than bedrotting honestly. Im going to the gym and Im trying harder to look better and it means jack shit.

Im not focusing on my studies and have been ignoring the few online people I have who I have infinitely closer relationships with for this shit. I have quite low bandwith for everything since im a retard who has problems independently living. Every "good" time ive had hasnt really been that good retrospect. idk should i bedrotmaxx.

If you have friends online keep in fucking contact with them compared to keeping up with shit you hate. And damn study, you're not the partyanimal so that part of uni shouldn't be your focus.
It seems you really are going out of your way to be somebody who you aren't, and while I do agree it's good to try stuff like that, keeping it up when it's not working is just baffling

anon, you've done more than 99% of people on this board by actually trying 5 or 6 things consistently
you got unlucky & the people around you in those activities are shit, or not ones you can talk/relate to
nobody's forcing you to go to water polo or volunteering if you hate it & it's not going anywhere, but please keep trying things, because eventually one of them will work
you're very close now

Maybe they don't have unrealistic standards towards the opposite sex? Have you tried approaching average girls out there? I'm also average as fuck with no dating experience and at least two normie girls showed interest in me, I didn't follow up with them because my wallet is smoother than a Barbie's crotch and nobody likes a broke dude, not even the ugly ones.

I remember she would invite her finance to the first couple events we had when she started working but stopped showing up completely after the 4th
I followed them both on Instagram and saw a story from the guy asking if theres anywhere in the area where he can stay implying they broke up and she kicked him out
She also never mentions him to me
More recently at the events we have together shes more upfront with me
At first she got annoyed at me for not wanting to put up a obviously broken company banner and to

But she treats me more nice now always completing me on my work making sure I get paid extra for the overtime I do setting up events she legit grabbed my both my shoulders from behind to say hi to me
She takes looks at me while I am working
Heres the one thing that really got me
I was talking to some co workers and these events arent super crowded but when she went inbetween me and another coworker I felt the back of her hand brush against my entire ass and it did not seem like a accident cause she had plenty room to get by
I don't want a office romance as I get paid pretty well and don't want to ruin things in my life
I also suspect she got cheated on and there is proof

Pretty sure getting arrested in a prostitution sting and being labelled a lifelong sex offender is going to ruin your life worse than asking a cute coworker on a date. Not to mention whatever venereal diseases the prostitutes have. Yes, herpes can infect fingers (herpetic whitlow if you want to look it up). No, condoms don't protect you from herpes and warts.

should I become homeless?
I am a 45 year old NEET
I have a little money saved
I have a pretty decent workshop, I have taught myself welding (including AC aluminum TIG which is probably the most 'high skill' type of welding), using most woodworking equipment (routers, jointers, planers, shapers, CNC, bandsaws, tablesaws, etc, use of machining equipment like lathes, mills, grinders, plasma cutters, CAD/CAM software, I've built and designed tools, music instruments, furniture, bicycles from scratch, I can operate backhoes, skidsteer, skidders, frontloaders, (and shit like chainsaws, equipment that goes along with that sort of shit....

But I have a mental problem where I feel like an absolute piece of shit due to having a narcissistic/histrionic father and basically fall apart in the presence of other people where I only view myself as a piece of trash. (I am instantly getting severe migraines being around him because his behavior being so insane)

I can only see myself getting a job where I make maybe 16 bucks an hour. I look at rent in places around me, and even in really cheap places in the country (I honestly wouldn't mind living in some place like Iowa, Nebraska or Arkansas at this point) and then look at ads for places wanting roommates and literally every place even in the most depressed/cheapest places in the country are like 1200 a month as a roommate.

What should I do? I might be able to build a van to live out of, but I did that for a month and not having a toilet/shower is really bad after a while.
The economy is so fucked that when I build a piece of furniture, or whatever, the price I need to sell it at is below the cost of materials it too to build. I don't know how anyone can function these days. Is being homeless/living out of a car that bad? Where is the best place to live out of your car?

Then there are masochist bots (user's POV is masochist) such as obsessive\ stalker\ rapist, etc. it seems pathological, extremely stinky and creepy, and gives ontologico-deontological support for groups like FARC, Shining Path, the Cuban Dictatorship!
there were like a dozen chatbots for these (fictional) men: the joker guy from Gotham series and Al Capone from the tom hardy movie...for some reason it specially struck me as odd so many women users would ERP with these unsually-aestheticized actor-characters.
