september 2nd: how do you take your coffee?

not at all lol. um i’m not a huge fan of coffee but i really wish i was 😔

i have been so unproductive lately. idk i just do not feel like doin my schoolwork :/ it’s a really big jump from doing no work at all to constantly studying. i’m learning a lot tho and my grades are great so ! tryna stay positive

august 27th: what is your favorite season? why?

winter! definitely. i just love the vibes - i love sweaters and sweatpants and cozying up indoors with a good book. and also, of course, snow ( although it doesn’t snow much where i live :/ ). also christmas easily beats any other holiday ! 🎄🌨

January Study Challenge

day 25 - what’s your go-to study method? are there cases in which you wouldn’t use it?

my go-to study method is flashcards! i use it for prettyyy much everything, but definitely not math. for math, i watch videos on khanacademy as refreshers, and do their practice problems. for anatomy and geography, i play games i find online. so i def don’t use them for everything, but flashcards are extremely useful to me!

Day 22

March 12th 2021

Lifesavers🙌🙌

Being a dropper I can tell you, you will thank yourself a week before exam for making formula-sheets.

No matter how much we study, stress levels are on the peak at that time... I felt like crying 10-12 times in one day when NEET 2020 was approaching.

Be prepared 🙌🙌

14th July - Have your plans changed at all because of the pandemic?

Yep! I was supposed to do GCSEs this year but those have been forgotten :/ it’s nice to not do exams but it feels kind of anticlimactic and a bit like the work I did for the last two years DIDNT end up being used properly. However! It did mean I got to relax on my birthday instead of revising, every cloud ⛅️ ☺️✨☕️
