🌱 03.17.2024 Midterm exams start tomorrow. I'm very nervous. My reviewers for each subject are quite thick (back-to-back) and I don't know if I'll be able to review all of them ಥ‿ಥ

Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.

2024.03.05 - march and all the things before it

one day, after everything is through, i'll turn around and still have you.

excuse my messy desk, it just felt like it added to the photos of where i'm at mentally.

first year of med school has been a whirlwind of amazing new things and also a bit of a disaster. here's a list of updates in no particular order of just everything that comes to mind since i started school:

i had my first course failure ever (like.... ever.) and it's taken a huge toll on my psyche. i have to remediate it in the summer and it sucks because i wanted to do other things and i have to just sit with this feeling of having failed something big time for the next two months until then.

before that, though, i got thru first semester for the most part unscathed. a few bumps and bruises but nothing crazy.

im a part of student government and had a major success in getting rid of a really awful lecture that people have been trying to get changed or removed for at least the last three years.

i got to visit my partner abroad for christmas! it was wonderful and i miss them so much. it makes it that much harder to be down here i think.

i have gone to the beach and stared at the ocean a few times and it helps but i don't do it often.

back in august, i had a major back injury that limited my mobility almost completely for two days. since then, it's been on and off pain for months and i finally started going to PT. hopefully we can make the pain go away because apparently it has already made my left leg decently weaker than my right leg 💀

my cat had a really bad cancer scare back in september and he's only now beginning to recover. i love him so much and we had come to terms with not putting him thru surgery to remove the tumor and just wanted to keep him comfortable and at home. my mom fed him holy water and he's managed to get better. ❤️‍🩹

i've forcing myself to get back into journaling and reading because i need hobbies that are off-screen and i'm limited from exercising until my back is a little better.

i bought noise-canceling headphones (pictured above) and they've changed my life tbh. i don't know how i managed before.

i didnt used to burn candles but now they help me turn my brain into focusing mode and it's changed my relationship with stress and studying.

i went on a random mini vacation with my family to nintendo world in february and i think i healed a part of me that i didn't know needed healing.

i think that's all the biggest updates i have to share. i've been documenting med school and life more often on my private twitter account but it feels more important to me to make sure i get it here in this blog. i want to be more consistent with posting here again! i might add it to my to-do lists when i update newsletters and socmed. but i also like this blog just being a space for me to be without a lot of pressure to keep up with it. idk. thank u for being here! for reading and for sticking with me 🫡 till next post

hey studyblr friends it's been like over a year oopsies. i got really busy ever since i took the MCAT! it's been nonstop life since then. i did get to go on vacation before starting med school! i didn't post an update when i got in but i did match into a school! i've been attending since july and it's been absolutely crazy but wonderful and i'm very happy. i'm the class secretary! and i'm working in some projects too. i'll start trying to post more frequently! im really excited to continue sharing this journey with y'all especially now that things have begun to settle! i have my last final for the fall semester and then a month of winter break :] gonna be flying out to visit my gf and spend christmas with their family.

i've been keeping a little tracker of school stuff on my personal twitter but i think, minus the photos of me, i,ll also add those here in increments! i want to keep all my memories together so i can flip thru them when i need to :>

On days you feel exhausted but frustrated because you feel like you haven't done anything to be this tired, think about these things:

How long since you've had a good nights sleep? No nightmares, no waking up multiple times, actually going to bed early, not having insomnia, actually waking up feeling rested and ready to face the day?

How long has it been since you ate a properly nutritious and wholesome meal?

How long since you've taken a break from work without thinking about all the work you will have to do later?

Are you currently fighting any illness? Remember your body takes energy to recover.

Are you really "doing nothing" if you are constantly overthinking the fact you feel unproductive, if you are constantly stressed with the things you do and don't do?

Have you had bad/none social interaction lately?

Are you in any physical or mental pain?

Are you taking care of everyone but yourself?

Does trying to live during a pandemic and world crisis brings you worry and stress?

Are you feeling anguish over all the burdens you have to carry but don't seem to be able to do everything you feel like you should be doing?

Are you constantly worried? Anxious?

It doesn't feel like you have been doing nothing now, does it? It feels like you have a lot going on that you have to deal with daily, even when you don't consciously notice it. There is a lot of stress inducing factors around you, and struggling is okay.

It is not easy to be human sometimes, so please, don't pressure yourself so much when you are already trying to cope. If it feels like everything is too heavy, please ask for help.

Please take care of yourself. 🌱

Chrome extensions I actually use as a mentally ill university student

Making websites easier to digest:

Dark Reader - Changes any webpage to dark mode.

Mercury Reader - Simplifies the layout of any webpage to eliminate distractions and irritating formatting.

Podcastle AI - Turns any article into a podcast. This is a lifesaver for being able to process what I’m reading, to be honest.

Spelling/grammar:

LanguageTool - Spelling and grammar check for those of us who regularly type in more than one language.

Grammarly - Spelling and grammar check for those of us who only type in English. Can be used with LanguageTool installed, which is what I do.

Google Dictionary - Define any word on the webpage with a double-click.

Google Translate - Translate an entire webpage or even just a short segment.

Misc:

AdGuard Adblocker - After trying quite a few adblocker options, this is the one I find the best.

The Great Suspender - Automatically suspend inactive tabs to help with performance. <- as an edit, I don’t believe this is available anymore

Honey - Try coupon codes automatically to save money on online purchases.

Built-in Chrome tab grouping - Group your tabs to keep organized and minimize distracting clutter.

i wonder if healing is harder the second time around. full of knowing, this time, shouldn't i be wiser? can't i now stand up for myself? i feel sixteen and voiceless. i blink. i am nineteen and free. my eyes shut; i am twenty-one and frozen in time. your voice and arms wrap around me. we're here. you're here. i inhale a real lungful of air. i'm ready to go again.

i write these little journal blurbs in a flow of consciousness type way. usually something inspires me to write these words. lately, my biggest inspiration is just them... they make me feel like im growing and becoming more of a person everyday. :,>

ALSO 😱 I HAVE 16 DAYS UNTIL JUNE 4 AND I FEEL SO ILL PREPARED FOR THE MCAT 😭😭😭😭

i like when the sky is bright and grey; the sun lights up the world above the shadowy clouds the breeze that always floats around, those days, speaks a promise that i can never recall. it's reprieve from the scorching & sticky, humid heat is laced with a kindness i strive to share. in these sunny, overcast afternoons i long to lay in the grass and listen to the earth spin. my whole life i have longed deeply for peace so, now i find myself thinking, "why wait and pine for a gentle love from the world? go find it and then ask for it to enter your life." you deserve love and peace and so much happiness like every other human on this earth. i love you so much.

it's friday! apparently the aamc is closing the mcat prep hub this weekend for website maintenance to im taking my practice test monday i guess </3

anyways! i'm very energized and excited today and i'm not sure why! but yea. it's just nice to have some vitality in life again. <3

my partner got their birthday gift the other day and i realized that gift giving is such a big love language for me. i cried from how happy i was that they liked it. it's been a whirlwind of emotions lately but i think i'm doing well. :3

stickers from my friend @pepparoncini on twitter as well as from @rainylune on twitter/ig!!

deep breaths, my dear, deep breaths. i know the world is so big and cruel and heavy. it's okay to stray away. to need to be separated from it. it's okay to find your own comfort, peace, and solace. it's okay to make a home for yourself that is safe from all the pain and hurt in life. i promise, it's okay. i know because, my dear, i have all of those things, too. in you.

been super busy and off-track this week after i broke my no screen before bed rule 3 days in a row. it just threw everything for a loop. last night, though, i managed it! still got up late and started late but i was able to get in a workout and full body stretch routine yesterday so i feel like it evens out! i'm finding ways to make things happier for myself. :,> wishing everyone well as the spring semester ends!!

on repeat: the feels - twice, come through - eric nam, internet - post malone, one right now - post malone ft. the weeknd
