        Beautiful, Books, and Destiny: Classic case of Attention Deficit Disorder is the 19 year old
 female university student. They go off to university and
 everything starts to fall apart.
 It doesn't fall apart because they're partying too much
 or they're not mature enough [...1 It's because for the
 first time in their life that exoskeleton wasn't there
 Then things didn't go well and then they're left with
 this feeling of "lI'm not as good as everybody else,
 I'm not as smart as everybody else"
 [They] show up at the university health services and the
 psychiatrist says "well how long have you been depressed for?"
 And the psychiatrist has slid the young lady into the
 pstychiatrist's comfort zone of depression and anxiety
fuckingconversations:

CBC made a good documentary on adult ADHD and part of it really caught me off guard because i swear they repeated verbatim my life story for the past 3 years
full programme here:
http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/episodes/adhd-not-just-for-kids

My ADHD manifested in excellent in-class work. Excellent understanding in discussions. Excellent participation. 
My ADHD manifested in piles of homework left undone until the last possible minute, while I stared at them, thinking; “I want to get these done. I understand the theory. It would take 10 minutes. I want to start, why can’t I start?” 
My ADHD manifested in fantastic reading comprehension - nigh impenetrable focus on interesting topics the first time I’m reading about them. 
My ADHD manifested in a complete inability to focus on reviews or re-reads, mind skittering sideways and away whenever anything was boring or repetitive. I sat down to study, my books open, my eyes on the text, and my brain clawing its way out the back of my head to focus on something else - anything else. Focus, focus! [No.]
My ADHD manifested in Articulating wings half-finished but still beautiful, in beautiful lineart and half-hearted coloring. In stories written passionately for days until I forgot it existed and never returned. In projects started and forgotten and started and forgotten a thousand times until my bins of project supplies piled up and my bank account shriveled down. No, it will be different this time - I LOVE this new thing. This new thing is my world, my destiny, my Everything. I CREATE and CREATE and CREATE and never FINISH. 
My ADHD manifested in confusion and surprise as time slithered away, hours passing like minutes and minutes seeming endless by contrast. An inability to gauge how much time had passed, was left, a task would take. An inability to hold dates in my head, because time didn’t feel consistent or even real.
 My ADHD manifested in watching someone talk and not understanding a word they said - literally hearing sounds and translating out only nonsense. In thoughts so loud I couldn’t speak coherently. In a conversation across the room shattering an idea I was trying to hold. It’s hard to think when you’re already thinking about everything around you.

        Books, Confused, and Music: HOW TO GET BETTER AT LISTENING
 COMPREHENSION
 by rhubarbstudies
 Listening comprehension: is a huge part of learning (and speaking) any language
 1. It's about discrimination; isolating sounds and words while you practice
 2. Pronunciation and comprehension go hand-in-hand. As
 3. Listen with prejudice: listen for certain words, certain information.
 one improves, so does the other
 Best practice:
 Listen to your target language often: 5 hours/week in class is a good start. Watching shows or
 listening to music in your target language is a enough to significantly improve your understanding of
 the language
 Strategies and tips for improvement
 Music: listen to music and read the words at the same time. The goal is to start training your
 brain to recognize the letters that go with the sounds. The better you get, the more you'll be able to
 understand the words when vou hear them without text.
 Read out loud: just like when you learned your first language, reading aloud in your target
 language is a basic way to advance your comprehension.
 Use your book: its more than likely that your textbook has a section on listening, so use it
 Dare to mispronounce: use the words often and out loud. The more familiar y
 uth
 muscles become with making the sounds, the better you will get at interpreting them.
 → Repetition: if you have listening exercises, repeat those over and over again. The more you use
 them, the better you'll get.

 HOW TO STUDY GRAMMAR
 by rhubarbstudies
 Grammar: is the nuts and bolts of language
 Best practice:
 Nightly review: good, organized notes & repetition for mechanical proficiency.
 Think of grammar as the moving pieces of lanquage. It's flexible. There is rarely one right way to say
 something
 Study strategies for grammar (choose as needed)
 → Examples, examples, examples: write copious examples in your notes: the more ways you see
 things done, the clearer the pattern is.
 → Look for patterns: most grammar is very clean, there are rules and the the grammar will follow
 them in organized ways. When you notice a pattern, write it down, draw arrows and cartoons and
 anything else that helps you remember.
 → Become familiar with the parts of speech: (in all languages) and what they do. These are the
 building blocks of al language, and there are only seven.
 For conjugations: practice new forms immediately. If you get them into memory, you'll never
 think about them again, and you'll always have them ready
 Montessori shapes: associate different elements of a sentence with shapes and colors. Use
 whatever you can to help features stand out.
 → Translate this is the old school method. The more connections you forge between you current
 language and your target language, the easier the target language is to understand.
 Grammar drills: this is boring, but repetition has a huge success rate with grammar.
 Meet with your teachers: they most likely understand the topic they're teaching, so meeting
 with them is often the easiest thing you can do

 HOW TO MEMORIZE VOCABULARY
 by rhubarbstudies
 Vocabulary:
 the meat of the language-acquiring vocabulary is one of the most important parts of
 study. The goal is to enter it into long-term memory (saving you work down the road)
 Best practice:
 Nightly review: no more than 5 minutes. Flashcards are the most efficient method
 Other methods for working with vocabulary (choose as needed)
 ord groups:
 create charts if words grouped together that are similar, the more associations
 between words, the easier they are to recall
 Pictures:
 associate new words with both images and definitions.
 Vocabulary fan: write all the vocab down the side of a piece of paper, then fold it over and
 write the definitions. Keep doing this until, you have filled the whole page, and the page will be
 folded into an accordion shape
 Recopying: some people find success with the traditional way of writing out lists and
 definitions until you don't need the lists anymore
 Vocab journal
 this is what the pros do-keep a notebook purely for vocabulary. Any time you
 come across a word you've had to look up more than three times, add it to the journal with a
 definition.
 Kinetic study:
 associate movement with words and definitions. Engage your whole body in the
 topic. Your body helps jog your memory.
 Interactive notebooks: use foldable (like the vocabulary fan) to make flip books or flip boxes
 that you paste into a notebook. The more senses you engage, the faster toy can assimilate the new
 information.
 Drawing
 if you have a penchant for art, draw the ideas that come with the words.
 sing your vocabulary; set it to music that sticks with you.

 HOW TO GET BETTER AT HOMEWORK
 by rhubarbstudies
 Homework
 is really a necessity in mastering new concepts because it's repetition.
 Use your book & other resources:
 if you have a textbook/workbook set, the homework you're
 doing most likely has corresponding sections.
 Look up words
 and anything else you don't know. Understanding the directions and questions
 is super important to sense of what your practicing
 Try anyway
 even if you get confused, try anyway. Giving up will only lead to getting behind
 and more confusion down the line
 identifying what you don't know is hugely helpful
 write questions in the margins of your homework/book so that you can remember them
 in class for next time or look them up on your own.
 Ask for help
 your teachers are most likely easy to contact and willing to give you homeworlk
 support or a quick meeting to clarify things.
 Keep up with your work and engage in class:
 if you work out of your workbook/textbook a
 lot, your quizzes and tests will most likely reflect your books. Keep them up to date. Correct wrong
 answers and use the books together
