Just curious to see all of your study habbits and whether or not you are able to listen to music or use noise generators like white noise, etc while doing textbook readings for comprehension. I am looking into trying this out but I just do not want t...

Hello. This problem I am having may need quite a long introduction, but I will summarize as best as I can. What I need is genuine advice. Last year I was a very hard working student and I got a 4.0 GPA and go accepted into my university nursing progr...

Thank you. That is good to hear. Anyone else have a comment about this? I am curious to hear others study habits in regards to music/noise generators online/ etc.

Alright everyone I have one more question. I am not finally adjusting myself to studying in my room and I am starting to use my noise cancelling headphones and listening to: SimplyRain - The Best Free Rain Generator on the Internet. every time I stud...

Just an FYI - that set up is exactly how I have it now.. lol.. I share a room with a girl and it is so small it just fits beds and a desk and then we share a small bathroom area with two other girls who live next door, and I mean very close next door...

Thank you for all of your posts. Do not worry about seeming as though you are "ganging up" on me, it actually is beneficial for me to see people's thoughts on this from an outsider's perspective because I know very well that my thoughts right now are...

Pecanpies - I appreciate your post. Hearing from all of you on this site has made me realize that I really need to be more optimistic about things. Earlier in the year, I was actually able to deal with these things and just shrug them off, but as you...

SimplyRain - The Best Free Rain Generator on the Internet. Do you think this could help me study? Or is it more distracting?

Okay thanks I appreciate that advice. I will do that then. I will stop using my ear plugs and then just put on my headphones which are these: http://www.howardleight.com/images/media/0000/0241/leightning_L3_main.jpg?1345620849 to cancel out some soun...

Thank you for your postings. So with this Swimmer's ear what do I do to get rid of it? I need my ear plugs at night for sure due to the snoring, but I suppose I will have to stop wearing them while studying. I have visited the counseling center at my...

Okay, thank you. Yeah, I am going to try to take away all of this negativity and hope my dorm room can just work, because it is definitely the most convenient. I have another serious question. I have been using ear plugs now to study and sleep ever s...

Thank you for all of your help. It really is good to hear advice from fellow nurses/nursing students. I needed to know how to best handle this and I appreciate all of the options you have all given me. I will try tomorrow for one last time to make th...

Okay, I will look into that. I tell myself to stop obsessing over it every day, and I just always end up in the same predicament. I don't get what has gotten into me. I usually am really on top of my game. I have over 100% in all of my classes right ...

Yeah, if this really continues to be bad, I may consult my hall director and see what girls are looking for roommates. I just do not get what kind of girl who has a room to herself would want someone else. I mean if I had a room like that, I sure as ...

I think you both are right. I just need to hear the truth of the matter and have somewhat of a reality check. I think it is a combination of the stress, how I have been somewhat up and down in regards to my hopes of getting a single room, and now tha...

I have 33DB noise reduction earplugs and then I have shooting muffs and I wear them. They seem to block out a good amount of noise (I wear them together.. lol it is crazy) but it still doesn't cancel out everything since her and I are in such close p...

I have talked to my roommate. I have asked her to do many little things to make it easier on me. I feel that some of the things I ask her are unreasonable though, because I am so stressed that everything is getting to me. She snores at night, and it ...

Thank you for your comment. I will try the library this Monday and hope that it makes things a lot better for me. The one other problem is that, I have become to dependant on my ear plugs that I almost cannot study without them at all. Is that bad? I...

Every single day? Because that is what I will be doing. The thing that makes me feel weird about it, is that I just like having one single constant spot to study where I know I can be for an unlimited time. In my room, I do not have to leave at midni...

Thank you for both of your comments. Yes - I have met with people. I actually had an arrangement to get a single room, but to my luck, one of the girl's changed her minds and was going to keep her room so that got ruined. Obviously, that made me very...
