Here's my 6-step study plan for success* in university exams. 10 out of 10 dentists who have tried the Pufferfish Study Plan would recommend it**. Written by a successful* compsci undergraduate.
Feeling tired? Become accustomed to turning your alarm off when it goes off, and go back to sleep for another 90 minutes (at least). Sleep is very important for exam performance.
Work due in at 6pm on a Wednesday? Do the first question the week before, then the remaining questions starting at 2pm on the day of the deadline, making sure to give yourself 20 minute breaks in between doing each question.
Exams are in 3 weeks, but you don't yet know the difference between Bellman-Ford and Floyd-Warshall, or BFGS and conjugate gradient descent, or a Herbrand model and and a Herband expansion? No worries, just make sure you make flashcards and then forget to look at them until 2 days before your exam.
Missed a lecture because of point number 1? No worries, the knowledge will travel into your brain by osmosis if you think about it hard enough. Or I suppose you could watch the lecture online if you really want to, but no pressure.
Thirsty? Drink water.
7 past papers due in by Friday to be marked? Good luck.
Just do well. Like, seriously, it can't be that hard, right?
Let me know if this works for you :D
* where success is measured by predicted performance based on easier mock exams

hello i would like to run for president as a joke. my main manifesto points would be thus:
the words “verily”, “hencethorth”, “thus” and “baboon” shall henceforth be officially endorsed as Most Excellently Ordained Words (MEOWs); at least 3 MEOWs shall be utilised in every presidential announcement.
lowercase i
cat ears MUST be worn on fridays, but only if you want to
naughty people shall be deported to the naughty step
be cute :3
maybe more to be added At A Later Date
i need a vicepresidential candidate if i want to actually run though. so probably don't put yourself forward.
have a great rest of your day/weekend/month!
i turned on light mode on alpha.wasteof.money for the first time and it's actually really pretty
