STUDY VLOG: med school exams, what i eat in a day, cutting my own hair

Thanks to Grammarly for sponsoring this video.

Making a sandwich for breakfast

I can't function without caffeine in the morning 😵‍💫

I didn't have any in-person classes this day, so I took the time to catch up on studies

Today is Thursday. I have an exam on Monday on metabolism.

Very biochemistry heavy.

I hate biochemistry.

We need a 70% average to pass the course.

So technically, I could fail this one

and try to make it up with my other exams

because this is my worst subject.

My first exam was last week?

No, it was this week.

It was earlier this week.

Now, we have an exam early next week.

At this point, we have an exam every week.

But also, more exams means that this is low stakes.

I think this is only like 6%

So, I printed out all of the study guides and worksheets.

I'm not a paper and pen type of person. [usually an iPad note-taker]

Or at least I wasn't.

I just wanted to switch it up.

debating whether I want to fold my laundry now or later (I chose later)

*sniff sniff*

meal prep time 👩‍🍳

making kimchi fried rice

I prep 6-8 servings at a time and store them in these containers

time to wind down with netflix

creating captions in my editing software to export as CC on youtube

I'm a first-year med student,

and sometimes I find it difficult to make time

to proofread and polish my writing

which is where Grammarly comes in to help.

Printing out more study guides

(sorry about the audio; the car A/C was blasting) Cookies & cream and vanilla bean ice cream

They were having a buy 2 get 1 free sale on the monster drinks,

so I got 3.

I've tried this one before, but I haven't tried these.

I'm so hungry.

First meal of the day.

This is so good.

Tastes like halloween.

eating some kimchi fried rice that I meal prepped

I always add Korean translations myself, either directly in the video or as CC

I most definitely ate both pints this day lol

Okay, I'm going to build this rolling utility cart.

I slept for 11 hours last night.

I need to go through all of my Anki cards today.

I have 1,500 of them.

This is going to be fun.

I think that's doable.

Honestly, I think my time management skills have gotten better.

College me would have studied the night before

and only the night before.

I've been studying practically all week, kind of,

and I have the whole weekend to study.

So... I'm getting better.

I love coffee.

I don't have a dining table,

so I got a singular bar stool.

I actually love sitting here and getting work done, too.

I feel like I'm more productive when I'm here

as opposed to in my room.

Also, this place is a 2 bedroom.

I have a bedroom and an office space,

and my office space is so so so underfurnished right now.

There's literally just a desk.

So, if you have any suggestions as to how I can furnish my office space,

please let me know.

I'm definitely going to be moving to either a 1BR or a studio after this,

so I don't want to buy too much stuff.

Going through Anki cards and study guides

This is my yogurt bowl.

〰 🫐 my go-to yogurt bowl recipe 〰 ᠆ 3 tbsp almond butter powder, 1 tbsp sugar

᠆ 3-4 tbsp water (until mixable) → microwave for 1 min

→ top with blueberries and yogurt

I'm going to try this blue one.

Cheers

Oh, wow.

I'm suddenly awake.

I still think I like the green one better, though.

why am I so aggressive LOL

hanging up this neon sign

You can't even see it lol

Organizing my makeup on the utility cart I built earlier

I'm surprised most of my products fit into this top tray.

Literally, this palette might be older than some of you lol

I should probably throw this out, but I use it every day.

These are just some miscellaneous products that I sometimes use,

extra mascaras, eyeliners.

This basket is where I keep my sunscreens, hand creams, skincare products.

Here, I have a basket with all of my chargers.

Dinner time

Kimchi fried rice (again) with tofu

Always have to watch something while eating

anki in bed before I sleep @.@

This was my first time making chia seed pudding

I still need to perfect my chia seed : milk ratio

+ maple syrup

+ cheesecake pudding powder (so good with this recipe)

〰 mix mix 〰

So, because today is the day before the exam

I'm just reading through all of these study guides and notes

and making sure I know everything.

My upstairs neighbor dropped something onto my balcony 😀

It was a plant saucer LOL

They came to pick it up later haha

Quesadillas = my comfort food

I might just take the L for this exam.

I think I'm going to fail.

I feel like a lot of this intuitive.

I like intuition when it comes to biochem.

I'm like gaslighting myself into thinking I know everything.

I don't. I need to be honest with myself.

Perfect consistency

Morning of exam so I made sure to eat breakfast

caffeine caffeine caffeine

Last-minute review

Just drinking straight espresso shots 😵‍💫

Picked up medical equipment after the exam

I did not take an L.

This is how much information there is in total.

This is how much I studied.

And this is what was on the exam.

I was really good at studying the important information.

I did pretty well.

This was over $1000.

Blood pressure cuffs

Idk what that is

patient gown

Rosenbaum eye chart

Ophthalmoscope & otoscope

Stethoscope

I got my name engraved on it.

I'm hungry.

Catching up on lectures that I put off last week to study for the exam

Energy drink

I have not worked out in a very long time,

so I thought I would play some Just Dance lol

This is my form of workout.

I usually get megastar on this :')

Today, I'm going to cut my hair.

This is not a mental breakdown.

This is me doing what needs to be done.

I've been meaning to cut my hair.

I just never got the time to.

I think anything beyond this length is just unnecessary.

It doesn't add anything other than inconvenience.

Filming a tiktok transition lol

Why do I always end up cutting it a little bit too short?

Maybe this is a mental breakdown.

I wasn't expecting my hair to be this short.

When I cut my hair at home last time,

I went an entire half-year without fixing my haircut at a hair salon.

And then, when I went and told them that I cut my hair at home,

they were like, "yeah, we can tell..."

Should I try to give myself layers?

Nah, I'm not even going to try.

Someone, a long time ago, in my comments section

told me that I look better in short hair.

Even though a lot of people have told me otherwise,

that one comment kind of stuck with me,

and I've been telling myself, ever since I saw that comment,

that I, indeed, do look better in short hair.

Okay, you know what?

I'm going to give myself bangs.

Okay, maybe that was a mistake.

[the next day…] I styled my hair.

I curled the bottoms, and I dyed my hair

so that everything is an even color,

and I don't hate it.

My side bangs still look really choppy,

and I don't know how to fix it.

Honestly, I don't think it looks bad 😵‍💫
