Hi Leah!
My name is Mumana Ahmed, and I am taking Organic Chemistry 1 this semester. I love your videos. I fell upon your orgo study schedule video and found it helpful. I am a full-time student who struggles with making time for things I value. I value my education. However, I did not leave enough time to study for my first Orgo exam, which is today. I know it won’t be my best effort, so I want to change things up ASAP so this is avoided in the future.
Even if I saw the video, I was wondering if you could help me build a schedule to study for orgo and other classes and just for doing life commitments in general so that this doesn’t happen for exam 2 and just in general? The same issue happens with other exams where I do not plan my time until it is too late. This has been making my life excessively stressful, especially because I had 3 hard exams in the span of 5 days, with the orgo exam being the last exam (today). I need a little extra help building my study schedule because my schedule is pretty complicated because of tough classes and a job.
You can email me at mumana.ahmed@rutgers.edu if you want to reach me to help. I would appreciate it so much. I feel time management and lack of study strategies are my biggest setbacks, and I want to just improve. Your help would mean so much. Thanks for reading.
A Struggling Student,
Mumana Ahmed
