I’m struggling with studying cause everyone says to use the index but is the 2025 one the only one available? Also are the pages generally the same? I was wondering when the June one will be available?

I have ADHD and it’s so hard to read and highlight. I haven’t even finished a full chapter yet cause ai go back and forth between the books and move at such a slow rate. I’m going to lock in this week and force myself to read 100 pages a day but I feel like I barely absorb the information. I am also broke so I only have like emond and bar crackers set A (44 questions per chapter). I feel like I don’t want to waste the questions I have till after I read, maybe saving it for the last 4 days of studying.

If anyone has any additional tips for the slackers like me on the June exam, please let me know!:/

We’ve been together 2 years and this is my third bday in this relationship. My first bday I was disappointed cause all he got me was flowers. It didn’t seem thoughtful cause he knew I like flowers and said he’d get them for me once a month before we even got in a relationship. Other than that, he didn’t even want to eat at the restaurant I wanted and we got take out seafood boil. No cake or anything which is whatever. We both weren’t working and I felt my roommate got me a nicer more thoughtful gift… I had just moved in and she barely knew me.

Last year for my birthday, we both had work. I understand being tired after work but he took a 3 hour nap! Essentially spent the evening on my phone. He got me a grocery store cake, a card which wasn’t even signed, and a pair of earrings. When it came to dinner, everything was closed since he napped till late. I didn’t even get a special meal or anything, and it was also not a meal I would’ve chosen except it was the only option.

I expressed disappointment last year and even cried when he left cause we didn’t even eat the cake together. He literally left then I told him how sad I was and he came back for cake.

This year, my birthday is tomorrow but he literally asked what I wanted yesterday. This proves he hasn’t learnt anything tbh. I even had to ask him am I gonna see him on my bday cause he hasn’t told me any plans.

I’m broke af and for his first birthday together I got him a fancy watch (he’s since lost it at work) and other small things. I even planned the whole day cause we weren’t working so I took him to his fav restaurant for lunch, then we went to the beach, and after a fancy meal for dinner. I was a broke student both years, and took time planning months in advance. Last year I gave him a whole room makeover and cleaned his room and bathroom which took all day.

It’s not like he doesn’t do stuff for me or make me feel special but the day it counts, I don’t feel special at all:(

Like am I supposed to tell him each year what I want? Why do I have to tell him what I want, why can’t he think thoughtfully and observe what I like or ask my family? Also makes me feel like he doesn’t know me at all. I just told him I’d like a bike since I’ve wanted one for like 2 years now but i know for a fact he won’t get it till after my birthday given how last minute he’s planning.

He told me last year his family doesn’t really celebrate his birthday, but on social media his sister goes all out!

I tried to plan a solo trip for this birthday a few months ago cause I anticipated disappointment but he got offended. I finished uni this sem and I’m not working so I just felt like I probably won’t have a birthday where I’m not working full time again. Kinda wish I just ended up going but can’t go last minute.

I’ve been feeling down about this today, even though I should be happy and excited to turn 25. My family and friends make me feel so loved on my birthday which kinda makes it suck more but I know I’m lucky.

TLDR: boyfriend asked what I want for my birthday and I feel disappointed cause I feel like he doesn’t know me, or make enough effort for the past 3 birthdays I’ve had with him.
