finals week study vlog // pre-med neuroscience → fall 2019

I have to leave for an exam at 6:30 it's
2:30 p.m.

meaning I have four hours to study for this exam

which should be enough time

right now I'm just replying to emails

it was a lot easier than I had anticipated which is great

I'm walking to the library to print out some stuff for my next two exams

which are physics and cell bio

those are on Wednesday so I have two days to study for them

[grabbing dinner]

hi can I have a Chipotle steak sandwich

sure can i get your name real quick?

hazel

and would you like a full or a half?

a full

$10.49

thank you

I'm so happy

did you hear that?

I'm about to study for my physics exam

I printed out all of these past practice exams for my physics final

this shouldn't be too bad

because I've done well on the past exams

and the final is basically a combination of the past exams that we took

except it's worth more.

I think I'm gonna try to sleep early tonight

just so that I could wake up early tomorrow and study for my cell bio

because that's the exam that I
really need to focus on

I haven't gone to a single lecture for that exam

it's so bad

and also that exam is worth 50% of my
grade

this exam is only worth like 30%

which is still a lot but I don't think
it's gonna be that bad honestly

I've been sleeping at 7 a.m. these past few days

which is definitely not the time I want
to sleep tonight

so I'm going to push through this

sleep early, wake up early.

I don't know if it's because I took a lot of courses this semester

but for some reason I've been really forgetful about

important assignment deadlines.

for physics, I forgot to submit this one assignment that was due

and that was a little bit detrimental to my grade but

not as much as biochem.

for biochem, I forgot to submit this feedback form

that was worth 15 points which is a lot

even if I get a 100 on an exam

it goes down to an 85 because of that one feedback form

I do have my own planner where I write down all the things that are due

but I don't think this was comprehensive

sometimes I forgot to write things down and stuff

so next semester I just need to get my shit together

My winter break is a week shorter than
usual

because we started a week late and

we're ending the semester a week late

which is why I'm going back home three days before Christmas

I hate it I hope they fix it next year because

I need at least a month for winter break

but it's only three weeks

it's not even three weeks

Is it? actually, I don't know

but yeah I'm really upset about that

I should be home by now *sniffles*

now I can't see anything

oh my god

no

oh my god

what is that

no

okay goodnight

oh my god guys I just got my doodle
planner in the mail

oh my god this is beautiful

omg im so excited to use this

I printed out of my cell bio lecture notes and practice problems

dude there's so much information

cell death, cell proliferation

cell signaling cancer etc

oh my god I am so excited to start studying for this

right now I'm boiling some eggs to eat for breakfast

i seasoned the eggs with black pepper and salt

[grocery shopping]

hey guys I came back from Martins and I thought I would do a short haul

first I got chocolate soy milk

I bought these bolthouse Farms green goodness drinks

they were doing a two-for-one dollar sale

meaning that this was only 50 cents

when it's originally like 3-4 dollars something

so I'm really proud of this purchase

then I ended up getting a monster drink

I'm probably going to need this for Thursday night

because my two exams on Friday are
both a little bit difficult so

I'm gonna need the help of monster

and then I was just going to check out all my stuff

when I realized that I only bought liquids

so I got these little Debbie chocolate cupcakes

that's my grocery haul. it's definitely not the healthiest

this is my final exams schedule

(me having a mini heart attack thinking i didn't study for the right exam)

oh my god that scared me okay *laughs in mental breakdown*

calm down

I'm taking cell bio at 8 a.m.

and taking physics at 1:45 p.m.

and then Friday it looks like I have a 10:30 and a 1:45pm

I'm still looking for where my physics exam is

I can't find the location anywhere so

I think there's a form

final exam

there should be a form

I think this is it

final exam room assignments by course

hi guys I just got ready. it is currently 650 a.m.

the testing center is pretty far from where I am

it's like the opposite side of campus so

I'm gonna have to start walking there
soon

all of the finals are two hours long

Jesus Christ

that's my timer

I finished going through all of these lecture notes

there's so many of them

I think I underestimated the amount of time I needed to study for this exam

because I was really rushing through the material towards the end

as always I made a Google Doc of all of the information

that I need to cram before the exam

I keep getting V live notifications and

so distracting

(the ND police were giving these out)

I've been walking for 20 minutes and I'm
still not there

oh my god it makes me mad how far this class is

Hi, guys.

I got out of my exam

that was a really bad exam

a lot of the questions were open ended questions

which tend to be a little bit easier to BS

[walking home after the exam]

[free food]

I did not study at all last night which is great

so great
also I look really bad today

these are all of the homework questions
that we have had for this final exam

usually the exams are gonna be like 30%
directly from these questions

so all I have to do is memorize the answers for these

and then the other 70% is just based on the concepts

so after going through this I'm going to have to go through the lectures

and take notes on that

and then this is for the second exam that I'm taking tomorrow

this is for biochem

I printed out all of the practice tests that we had so far

[late-night grocery shopping]

(checking my eggs)

during finals like I'm basically emotionless

I don't really talk on a regular basis but during finals week

I talk even less and it kind of scares me

my flight to go back home is Saturday
night

so I basically have like a full day for me to rest and clean up this place

before I leave to go back home

oh my gosh just thinking about going back home is making he's so excited

this semester has been so hard for me

I mean it's difficult for everyone

I was just taking too many classes and

I wasn't able to really prioritize the things that I needed to do

and that backfired because I'm pulling all nighters studying for exams

when it could have been a
little bit easier

if I actually went to class throughout the semester

but yeah this semester has just been a rough

I mean I had four exams last week

so I'm having a total of nine exams in the span of two weeks

so anyone going through this would agree that it's not easy and

I've never been this excited to go back
home.

I also never told you guys this but I'm a neuroscience major

I switched my major a lot after coming into college.

I came in as a biology major

and then I switched to science business

science business is basically pre-med plus business

I ended up switching to neuroscience earlier this semester because

I wanted to take more neuroscience related courses

and I'm only able to do that if I'm a neuroscience or psychology major

so I ended up switching into neuroscience very last minute

and I'm not able to switch anymore

mainly because I won't be able to fulfill my requirements before
graduation

as of right now because I switched my major

I have to take a lot of courses every semester

I'm gonna go study right now

I got the sudden urge to dye my hair at 2:30 a.m.

I put the hair dye and
developer in a 1 to 2 ratio

I've been going through the practice tests for my
neuroscience exam and just studying

I feel pretty okay about it

I also finished the practice test for my bio chem exam

also this is my hair

it's definitely a lot darker than it was earlier today

It's 6:10am right now

hey guys I came out of my bio chem exam

I absolutely hated it

post-finals pizza & kdrama

thanks for watching!!
