If you dont have ADD or ADHD, it will give you seizures.

Just saying.

So much for cramming.
Lolcano. The mechanism of adderall doesn't compensate or counteract for something in the brain that people with adhd have or don't have. Its an amphetamine, and carries the side affects of any amphetamine, including seizures, heart attacks, and sudden death. But that rarely happens, and if it does its because someone has a condition.

Dopamine is the drug that people regularly link to the "chemical imbalance" in human beings who have ADD or ADHD(its a fifty-fifty compromise). Amphetamines, in human beings that dont have lesions or any other biogical problems, will instantly release or block re-uptake of said dopamine into the body. You probably know this, but I wanted to spell it out for everyone else. The adderall is supposed to give larger doses of dopamine to the body to help with memory, problems solving, and etc.

The reason I, and I will say, threw carelessly the word "seizures" is since amphetamines do effect other neurotransmitters that do lead to body arousal, things such as pulse and heart rate go up. The thing college students who tend to "binge" on these pills tend to get addicted and shit goes downhill from there. Obviously, in a moderated dosage, this would not cause many side effects as otherwise it wouldnt be given as a drug. Just "taking it" will just fuck you up.

But on the topic for motivation for finals...

Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood.

All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.

Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in you seeds.

Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.

No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.

Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.


-Kahlil Gibran

i hope you do well on all of your exams and stuff. it sucks being a bio major even though it pays off in the end - just the whole process to get there reallyyy sucks - and east carolina is hardcore with its science programs and its medicine students (hence: top 10 med school)....so our classes here are absolutely killerrr

our profs are really good - not gona lie...one of my anatomy teachers last year works at the medical school as well and he was the first to patent the very first pregnancy testing system...kinda funny i see him smoking outside his office building everyday at 3 pm hahaha...if you need powerpoint notes or anything or practice exams lemme know id be more than happy to help you out!
Ummm..... I have no doubt that your classes are difficult, but what source are you using to back-up your top-10 medical school statement? Primary care or research? I'll most likely be applying this year and I'm just curious :)

Just gonna throw it out there, there's no correlation between a rigorous undergraduate science program and a well-ranked medical school. Ohio State is ranked 27th in Research according to US News.

Best of luck everyone on your exams! I just finished today - Fu-fu-fu-fuck yeah.

Kinnell,

You can get that in the states? wtf? I can't find it in Canada :mad: LOL

Motivation: Listen to Baljit Malwas 'Maujan' and think about what you're parents/guardians went through to get you to be in the place you are right now. It's true that you are the one who worked your ass off to get into the uni/college that you are currently enrolled in, however I think it is with the well wishes and aashirwaads of your parents and elders that you are still going. Just think about the smiles and joy they will feel when they see their youngins walking up on stage to get their undergraduate degree/graduate degree so they can brag to their friends, etc...

Plus, it's your time to fight back and show up all the haters that once said you stood no chance. :)

booooooo for med school! though ill be honest, here at the U, our med school parties just about as hard as the undergrad. F...T...W.

As I attempt to cram an entire course of virology, parasitology, pathology, and half a course of immuno into the next 3-4 days, i'd like to wish the rest of you good luck as well. and remember... its just grades. seriously.

it's times like these that I wish BTF had an automatic notifier (like the gmail notifier) so that I wouldn't be wasting so much time checking it all the time...

g'luck on finals everyone!

PS...the people in the library I'm in are starting to smell worse and worse as the days go by...another reason why I don't like finals.

17 hours... oh how I envy you right about now, lol....I can't even keep my eyes open as I drive to and from school anymore.I have the darkest of bags under my eyes and they look pretty swollen. Furthermore, I'm as cranky as the Grinch who stole Christmas and feel like smacking the people who write their exam beside me for continuously coughing and sniffling every two (2) seconds :mad:. Any hoo, ONE (1) MORE DAY!, and then I'll be able to catch up on 3 weeks of deprived sleep :-\ :( :-[

Anatomy midterm in sixteen (16) hours ... wish me luck fellas
