I know how you feel. University is absolutely terrable these days. Absolutely terrrable.
Its a forced rat swim test. Nootropics.com calls modern exam testing proceedures "institutionalized child abuse".
I always leave the year dumber than when I went in cause the chronic stress surely shrinks the hippocampus.
I am in the same boat. I am a fairy smart person
who is left nothing less than mutalated after exams. I havn't found a drug yet than can prevent the utter hoplessness I feel after exam times. The feeling of being raped, and then *paying* to have it done again. The bleakness and the fear is deep wired in my brain. Surely my amygdala has been fully kindled since the resolution to prevent that kind of hoplessness always fails irrespective of the effort I put into it.Throughout the school year I constantly think about dropping out, or killing myself, or both.
The system needs drastic changes or the steadily climing number of prozac prescriptions to university students ain't going to level out.
