Omg- I totally forgot about this blog...I may delete it.

Life has a way of never ever ever going to plan...and I'm so happy for that!!!!

I ended up re-taking the act and getting a 30, exactly the score I wanted...BUT it turns out when I applied to college that because I had taken SOME college classes I was no longer considered a "true" Freshman and I wasn't eligible for any scholarships...

BUT! I was accepted into my dream program and I am halfway through my first semester of my BS in Immunology degree!!! In the time since I started this blog, I took my EMT course and got licensed, and also took a semester at community college! I also unfortunately had to come to terms with the fact that I am simply too disabled to have a sustainable career in Emergency Medicine. BUT, I've discovered a HUGE passion for microbiology and immunology in college and I'm thinking about going into infectious disease someday!!!! But I'm keeping my options open, I'm only 19 after all :>

This semester I am taking 14 credit hours over the summer, which is PRETTY DAMN INTENSE and I'm excited to see how it goes!!

First day of my full time studying…sorta. This weekend was incredibly draining (and also amazing omg) so I tried to go slow while also not falling into my usual trap of “I had a big day yesterday, I’ll just take the day off” and then oopsie it’s been 3 weeks and I haven’t done jack shit. I worked on cleaning up my room a lot, doing laundry and washing my sheets and what not. I tried to take a practice ACT but the brain fog was too strong and I quit halfway through after managing to do worse on it than I did my actual test. I also wrote about my experience at the blood bank. Just some ramblings for my personal reference for when I’m inevitably asked about it during med school apps.

Tomorrow I’m going to the library to study for a change of pace and to get myself out of the house. I’ll also be going grocery shopping for healthy (ish) foods and electrolyte drinks. My eating habits are terrible and I’m just focusing on cutting back on the sheer amount of sugar I’m consuming because I know it’s not healthy and probably contributing to my brain fog. Same with the drinks, I’ve got to the point where I’m basically living off a couple cans of diet soda a day. I’m going to try to at least get some variety in, try coffee, tea, hot chocolate, energy drinks, electrolytes. I’m not good about drinking water but it’s better than nothing at all, and I’m prone to eating when I’m really just thirsty so keeping that in check should help too.

My brain fog has been so bad and I really want to get my brain feeling like I can form coherent thoughts again. I’m keeping instagram deleted off my phone, basically once in the morning and once at night I’ll redownload it to check my notifications. Social media is weird. I wish it didn’t exist and I wish I had never got on it but now I’ve bitten the poison apple so I know what I’d be missing without it…but that’s a post for another time 😅

Still thinking I’m probably gonna make a new account for this blog. So much to do and so little time… sigh.

Last day of my job!!!! Leaving for my show tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m going to write about everything I learned at my job so I can remember for med schools apps and interviews and what not XD

[sage-studies-22222]

Is it to much to ask for it to be like 6 months in the future already? I need to come up with a plan to pass this time because holy shit all I want is to jump back into college. I just want it to be the summer or fall or whenever I get to go back to school so bad ughhhhhh

[sage-studies-22222]

Whenever I start thinking too much about the future and how badly I want it to be now, I throw myself into studying math knowing each problem is simultaneously literally passing the time but also inching closer to my goals for the future and it helps a little.

I swear I’m the only person who gets panic attacks over WANTING it to be the future instead of fears over it. I KNOW everything will work out for me. I will achieve my goals. But damnit why do they have to be so far away.

[sage-studies-22222]

Thinking about making a whole new account for this blog so it’s not under my main acc…

[sage-studies-22222]

All I want is to go to nyu med school. It’s my dream. I’d literally weep. Reblogging in 4 years when I get in to nyu med school manifesting ts

Absolute crack pipe dream but I can work my ass off towards it and I’ll still end up somewhere good right 😅

[sage-studies-22222]

So far I’ve got my new computer and calculator. I have the rare weekend off so I’m gonna spend it deep cleaning my room and maybe even decorating it as much as I can! My last day of work is one week from today! Then I’m going on a little trip to my hometown to see my favorite musician, and when I get back home it’s study study study for the ACT!!!!!

Okie so I’m quitting my job soon and I’ll have time to study all day every day and I’m going to COMMIT. I’m studying for the ACT and if I can get a 30 or higher my tuition will be covered by a scholarship. I’m at a 27 now. Gonna make schedules and blog and pull out all the stops to get myself studying as hard as possible.

To do before I quit:

-deep clean my room + decorate (the vibes are rancid rn)

-get laptop (my old one broke, new one comes in tomorrow) and set it up

-get desk real chair so I’m not sitting at stolen kitchen chair all day

-make schedules + plans

-get calculator (literally don’t own one)

I’ll reblog as I get each item done. Alsoooo I know I don’t need to do anything fancy to study and I have literally been studying on a BUS while at work most days. I’m just doing it because it’s fun and I want to idk.

Intro!!

hi im sage, welcome to my studyblr :3

im 18, currently taking a non-planned-gap-year-thing after my first semester of community college. My family decided to move across the country and I am NOT paying out of state tuition, so I've been working while I wait for that sweet, sweet in-state tuition to kick in!

I am majoring in biomedical science. All I've wanted my whole life is to be a doctor, and I will stop at nothing until I have become the best doctor I can be! I most likely will be going into emergency med or anesthesiology.

I am currently studying to re-take the ACT, my goal is at least a 30, because that qualifies me for a full-ride scholarship at my college. I got a 27 with no studying the first go-round so it should be do-able.

I am starting EMT classes in January. I also will be studying for the biology and chemistry CLEP exams so I can get my pre-reqs out of the way and hit the ground running when I get back into college!

This blog is going to be a place for me to track my study habits, and keep myself motivated, as well as blog about my acedemic life once I get back into school.

Follow for more of my pre-med insanity, maybe I'll have something to say worth listening to someday :)
