Highs and Lows
Day 30 : Highs and Lows of this past month ! Lows Exams. I don't test well. Some people are able to elicit joy from the thought of writing exams but I am the exact opposite. Exams are strange for me because I feel that they don't test your knowledge properly. They make me stress [...]

Types of Medical Students : Exam Edition

Highs and Lows

A day in the life of Lily
Day 12: Bullet your entire day I have a slight case of obsessive compulsive disorder when it comes to schedules and timetables. Nothing vexes me more than having time wasted.

Day 2: Where would you like to be in ten years I'm cutting it close but better late than never ! I was doing studying drugs today and they completely absorbed me.
