The bad thing about having ADHD and taking medicine to help you focus.

I focus on the wrong things. For example I really need to be studying for a Biology and English final. However I'm here thinking about how much fun it would be to write a long research paper analyzing the characters of Mawaru Penguindrum and analyzing each of them from a Freudian Psychodynamic viewpoint. The bad thing? When I don't have to study for a final I won't feel like doing it.

Also a picture of the best thing about the show. The Penguins.

That's not the medicine. That's the ADHD. I once nearly decided to work on a data-mining program that had nothing to do with any class I was taking, rather than study for a math final.

I'm glad to know that I'm not alone. I always joke that if I was studying Biology that I would probably end up coming up with a cure for cancer in an attempt to not have to study.

Tried to study for a STAT final, ended up spending several hours on a Forza Horizon McLaren paint job. That said, it's quite the paintjob.

It could be worse. My majors were Electronics Engineering, Graphic Design, Physics, Math. In that order. Van Wilder hasn't got shit on me.

I've never been diagnosed with ADHD.. but everyone who knows me IRL would testify that there's "something wrong" with me... I can never do just ONE thing... Give me a task of, let's say find a way to keep water from entering the footwell of a convertible.. I'd probably end up finding a way too avoid wipers on the windshield as well..

I couldn't decide between Psychology and English so I just went with both. I figured it up and that if I took Psych courses for all my electives then by the time I graduated with my English degree I would only need 2 more semesters and I could get my bachelors in Psych. Though you can't really do anything with a bachelors in Psych so it's more for me personally since I love Psych. Also I feel it will help me teach better.

Nah, I'm not on that level of vinyl'ing. It was inspired by the white BMW McLaren F1 GTR, except instead of a red-purple-blue phasing flag, I created an awesome faded Murica flag along the side, and the entire car was painted flat back.

That sounds pretty cool!

That's pretty much how I ended up with my Mathematics degree. I took so many math classes as a physics major that I decided to pursue a mathematics minor and realized how few extra classes it would take to get the math degree. Never did get the physics degree though. Attention span 1. Me 0.

Sammmmmmmmeeeeee boat. Medicated and the lot (adderall 30xr). My "trips" as I like to call them usually involve reading band histories, writing lengthy Oppo posts and now all the stuff you can do on GT6 with the 20,000,000 credit glitch. Already up to 86 cars... and 1/3 of my biology study guide is complete. Gonna be another late one.

I too have the ADHD. I know what you mean. I find that it helps to start doing what you need to be doing, then taking the meds. Then boom. In the zone. Also, it helps to make a habit of things. But remember to take a break. I never took breaks, so when I study, I study for days on end. Then when the test is over, I don't know what to do with myself.

Actually tomorrow if everything goes ok would work great! However my mom is having surgery done tomorrow so it's a bit iffy, it depends on how she's doing. However if every goes good it sounds great since I would otherwise be bored at home with nothing to do since most of my friends have finals friday.

I'm basically done with finals after tomorrow but I won't have access to a good internet connection until Friday around noon.

I had ADHD growing up. Most of the time I had no freaking clue what was happening around me, haha. Luckily, I grew out of it and quit taking amphetamines once I started high school. I feel your pain, man...

I have a 20 book backlog, I'm in the middle of watching like 7 different completed animes, and I have a paper I want to write now. I think I will be fine. lol

Sadly I think mine has only gotten worse with age. Also it doesn't help that I'm a terrible multi tasker. I can do one thing and I can do that one thing well.

I've been getting better at multitasking recently.

For instance: I taught myself how to do homework/browse oppo while on the pot.

I completely misread "on the pot" to mean high on weed rather than using the bathroom. Maybe I need sleep.
