× I might get a little bit wipe out often intense day of classes.
✓ I might get a little bit wiped out after an often intense day of classes.
Original sentence omits the past participle 'wiped' needed with 'get' to form the passive/resultative meaning, and is missing the preposition 'after' before the time phrase. Use 'wiped out' (past participle) after 'get' and add 'after' to link the clause correctly. Suggestion: Use 'get + past participle' for result (get wiped out), and include appropriate prepositions like 'after'.
× Uh, it's usually hit the wall after prolonged periods of intense mental effort like cramming for exams or writing law exams.
✓ Uh, I usually hit the wall after prolonged periods of intense mental effort like cramming for exams or writing law exams.
The phrase 'it's usually hit the wall' is ungrammatical: 'it's' (it is) cannot be followed by the base verb 'hit' for this meaning. The intended subject is 'I'. Replace 'it's' with 'I' to match the subject and present simple tense for habitual action. Suggestion: Use the correct subject and simple present for habitual statements (I usually hit the wall).
× If I'm at home I'll usually lie down for a short nap, but if I'm stuck at school or in public I'll rub a cold ring or step outside for a few minutes to clear my head.
✓ If I'm at home I'll usually lie down for a short nap, but if I'm stuck at school or in public I'll rub a cold ring around my eyes or step outside for a few minutes to clear my head.
The phrase 'rub a cold ring' is unclear and likely incorrect; common expression is 'rub a cold compress' or 'rub a cold ring around my eyes' (meaning the area). Also adding 'around my eyes' clarifies the object. Ensure noun phrases are idiomatic. Suggestion: Use common collocations like 'rub a cold compress' or 'rub my eyes' and include the target area for clarity.
