Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I've been unable to concentrate lately, and whether that is the result of too much stress from AP classes with SAT's or just ADD/ADHD getting to me that I haven't found out about yet, I need some study aids before I flunk my classes</p>

<p>What kinds of study aids do you guys use? Ear plugs? Music? Energy drinks such as Red bull? Caffeine pills like No Doz? Ritalin?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>2.good study songs</p>

<p>such like?</p>

4

<p>Massive Attack, Radiohead and A Perfect Circle.</p>

<p>Their songs aren't too busy or crazy like MSI so its easy to focus while listening to them.</p>

5

<p>I actually find listening to music distracting. I guess it's partly because I like music with lots of screaming.
Why eyedrops and energy drinks? And what's MSI?</p>

6

<p>MSI - Mindless Self Indulgence.</p>

<p>Awesome band. They're honestly crazy.
Love them though :)</p>

7

<p>energy drinks/caffeine is too addictive.</p>

<p>no harm from caffeine though right? short term or long term?</p>

<p>Red Bull will definetly keep you awake, but I wouldn't exactly consider it an effective study tool.</p>

10

<p>I would call staying awake an effective study tool. :p</p>

11

<p>then im guess im just asking for ways to stay awake. or stay awake enough to study or pay attention</p>

12

<p>if your eyes are really tired, put couple of eyedrops into your eyes, and close your eyes for like 5min. They will feel REALLY refreshed when you open them.
Or if you have something against eyedrops, get some of those 98% pure aloe vera gel or something.. and when you're really tired, feeling groggy and stuff, just put some on your face and BAM! you'll be refreshened in like 1 sec. Plus, if you have like sensitive skin or acne prone skin or smething: aloe vera gel wont cause breakouts- they actually soothe the sensitive, acne/prone skin.
yea.. so good luck with staying awake :)</p>
