it has been… a year to say the least.

but I just moved into a new apartment- my first one on my own.

I am one week away from finishing my first year of medical school

I think we’re gonna be okay :)

How do I access research articles and not have to pay for that shit

holidays are made for endless reading sessions ❄️

4-5/50 days of productivity | 16-17/5/'24

just been picking myself up.

Jbreel Farroukh- elderly diabetic woman

Vetting: Social media content going back to 2018, many highlights with others, mom & at work. instagram: Jbreel.f98 & fardousfarroukh & emjbreelfarroukh & company IG toptech

You can see how much love Jbreel has for his mother in all of his content with her, multiple members of the family reached out hoping for help with sharing their story. He is an ambitious young man who lost his company but has hope to save his diabetic mother & to help his sister escape to finish her pharmacy degree. UPDATE - GFM Froze their gofundme, & they're starting over from scratch! I hope that you will please consider helping them inch back towards their goal with any tiny donation to the updated fund or by giving a heart or sharing their story-

I appreciate you helping their family to feel seen & heard during these terrible times!

life lately is filled with lots of studying via practice questions and breaks filled with books and crafts and baking! i currently have a pleasant board exam study schedule that consists of a nice slow morning with a matcha latte and some reading, completing 160 practice questions, then relaxing the rest of the evening with the usual hobbies like reading, crocheting and knitting, cross-stitching, etc. recently i’ve read the idiot by elif batuman, berlin by bea setton, and now i’m reading either/or (sequel to the idiot) by myself and the thursday murder club by richard osman with my boyfriend. overall having a much better time studying for step 2 than for step 1!

i’m baking nonstop but the cake pictured is a vegan cardamom cocoa with star design inspired by earlygirl__ on twitter

Sunny mornings 🌤️ vs rainy afternoons ☔️

Taking a break at my local cafe, we’re moving next week so I’m trying to psych myself up for a cross-country UHaul trip. Lots of little things to do and I’ve been feeling overwhelmed even though I have no more med school stuff to do until graduation day.

favorite spot to study except for my room - it looks like a library but is actually a coffee shop

the holidays always kind of overwhelm me 🫠

late night dates w/ physiology. the classes are interesting though, and i'm feeling passionate. human body is so complex, capable and fascinating, subhanallah.

giving it all for the last month of the semester!

life lately is gloomy days and early mornings. studying for boards is a bit more stressful than i’d imagined, not because of all the material i need to review, but more because im struggling to build up the stamina for an 8 hour exam (it’s been years since i last took one and im significantly more exhausted at this point in my life than i was then). but nothing i can do but continue working! still making time for art and friends to keep myself in a good mental space and continuing to try my best :-)
