Don’t listen to the Anon! First of all the MCAT is a bs indicator of physician quality, second anon should mind their own fucking business, Third everyone should cross that residency program off their list! Keep going! You will be an excellent physician!

Standardized tests really are BS indicators of quality, in general, and the MCAT especially. But if anything, it’s preparing me for what I can expect from the boards exams I know are in the future. 🙃

Thanks for the support, friend :)

New Studyblr Intro

Hello all ! I’m Abby and after ghosting on the studyblr side of tumblr since the  beginning of high school, I FINALLY decided to make my own blog* to keep up and post alongside the community ! The studyblr community really helped motivate, and inspire me through high school and I've found myself needing that support again while in uni, so here I am.

I’m just a small sleepy bean, who loves plants and animals, and drinks  WAY TOO MANY caffeinated beverages and not enough water {STAY HYDRATED Y’ALL}

About me:

I’m 18 and in my first year of undergrad

Currently thinking about declaring Environmental Studies as my major

California is my home ! ♡  But I go to school in Pennsylvania

Slytherin and proud !  

I’m bilingual: English & Spanish, and can sorta read French lol

I’ve been vegetarian for almost a year now, would like to go fully vegan in the future

🌈

Interests/Random:

I love Baking, Drinking boba, Reading, Running !

I LOVE food, and love trying out new recommendations {especially savory dishes}

I want a learn a new language ! Maybe Korean 

Green & Yellow are my favorite colors but I tend to prefer soft shades of brown {taupe lol} too

Current Academic Interests:

Hispanic / Latinx Studies

Environmental Science

Environmental policy and management

Sustainable energy

LGBTQ+ / Women’s studies

Art / Music History

Psychology: mental illnesses, psychoanalysis

Why a studyblr?

I’ve been struggling to motivate myself and had in a way fallen out of love with studying. I WANT to change that and regain my joy and aspirations in education again. ♡ Making this studyblr is my first step towards this and will help keep me accountable, and be a way to track my progress !

I’ve also struggled with finding a good, safe, and welcoming community on campus and want to work on improving my social skills by interacting with others with my similar interests...

The studyblr community has always been {in my eyes} a very inclusive and loving, and inspiring community ♡

* (SIDE BLOG- thought it would be easier to manage  lol) 

Goals:

I’m starting the 30 Days of Productivity challenge, {Hopefully I can turn it into a 100 Days one too…}

Keep up with my bullet journal

Keeping my blog here active

Hopefully make friends here and learn from them too !

Favorite studyblrs that inspired me:

@emmastudies  @studyquill @studyign @elkstudies @latinandlatt @etudiegogh @soymilkstudie @areistotle @hannybstudies @bookbearstudies

That’s it so far ! I hope we can all be friends and work hard together !!! ♡

Time to get my shit together. Instead of taking rejections personally, I’m just gonna show these people what they missed out on.

Today my goal is to catch up in neurobio, attend an epilepsy conference, and send some important emails.

I also want to find some time for imaging set up.

Final Exam Crunch Day #1

The finals studying has begun. This year I have three papers, and a final exam. I made a schedule and then immediately became overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I have to do everyday. Why I didn’t start earlier is the question of my life.

Anyway, the goal today is to finish watching lectures for the last unit of neurobiology, make the according study guides, and possibly fit in some Indian philosophy readings and essay editing.

Currently reading: all the PowerPoint lecture slides I neglected :/

It’s been awhile. Just keeping on with the med school process. In my time off I have been reading Sylvia Plath’s biography (Red Comet). I have also finished two seasons of Succession. Oh my god, Kendall better win this season, he’s been through enough.

Does anyone want to read my Tamil essay about the CIA? Disclaimer it’s straight up terrible lmao.

Today is chem lab due day! So that’s what I will be up to for 99% of the day.

I wanted this one doctor to mentor my project but I think she’s too busy so I’m kind of sad about that. I gotta find someone else ASAP.

Also I’m so behind in neurobiology! I think I’ll spend the day tomorrow catching up on that and Indian philosophy. And then the next day I’ll focus completely on my independent study to prep for my meeting on Friday.

Long time no see. This semester has been a mess. I’m expecting my grades to be pretty eh. But whatever, there’s extenuating circumstances.

Today I need to write a paper, finish chem prelab, and submit some reports.

November 30th 2020

Well as usual I pushed everything to last minute. So here I am frantically trying to finish a chem prelab, chem quiz, and an essay all due today. Wish me luck, I’ll need it to survive the next two weeks.

Tomorrow I have a meeting with my research supervisor where I’ll have to show him that I’m doing something with my life which I am not. Sigh.

Currently reading: “The Time of Our Lives” by Peggy Noonan. My new books are coming today though! I ordered “Mama might be better off dead” and “a brown girls guide to politics”

P.S. did anyone watch the undoing finale? It was wild!

After a break, I have decided to start my data science journey. I’m going through some Kaggle material and some math textbooks right now. I am hoping to start work on a competition next week!

Today my goal is to finish 2 Kaggle courses, study Russian for thirty minutes, go for a run, and finish reading one book.

Another day where classes begin and an inauguration happens. I did not update for a few days because I was doing so badly in terms of mental health. I’m feeling better now though.

Today the goal is to start my personal statement, do some grant application accounting, and some research work.

It’s been awhile but nothing has changed. Still on this MCAT grind. With the test coming up in a few weeks, right now is the time to get all these difficult concepts finally in my head.
