I saw a TikTok recently that really changed my view on education and learning. I forget the exact quote but it said something along the lines of “learn in good faith, and the grades will come”

So often I find myself obsessing over getting an A and not taking time to enjoy the fact that I am studying what middle school/high school me dreamed of. My younger self would hear about the things I am accomplishing and would be so excited. So that raises the question, if I picked these classes, why should my desire for a 4.0 outweigh letting myself enjoy the learning process and just doing the best I can? Good grades come to those who like and resonate with the material being taught. Maybe instead of focusing on memorization for some topics, emphasizing and spending time on relating the content and deepening my understanding is better. I've found that my chem lecture is so fascinating and just having the opportunity to learn more about the complexity of the world around us is so cool. While reaction rates can be boring, when thinking about it, catalysts have huge biological impacts in our body's daily functioning. Life simply would not be able to do what it does without these reactions. I am learning about details that relate to the reactions that allow me to have the energy to move. Learning becomes more valuable when you don't focus on the destination( a grade) but think about it as a journey.

Thinking about how when my male peers talk (specifically in academic spheres) they state their opinions on subjects confidentially as if it were an unquestionable fact; meanwhile my female peers will constantly bend-over-backwards to make sure they’re not being too assertive when talking by ending their sentences with phrases that makes their statements almost sound like a question thus leaving ample room for any [man] to jump in to correct her.

Also, there’s this really unpleasant trend I’ve noticed over the last few years where literally anytime a woman discusses any topic that is even vaguely controversial she prefaces it with a long tangent where she does what is essentially damage-control before anything has even been said, because apparently if a woman doesn’t openly state before every political/controversial-discussion that she is not a bigot people will automatically jump on her the second they hear something they don’t 100% agree with. (There’s a term for this behavior, but for the life of me I can’t remember it right now.)

Overall it seems as if the world is becoming increasing hostile to women; specifically, having their own opinions; especially if said opinion is not what is “popular” right now. This hostility exists for men as well, but to a much lesser extent. In my experience a man has to openly admit to being a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc for anyone to start saying he’s a bad person; meanwhile I’ve had multiple instances where I was “warned” to avoid a certain woman because she said something in a class that “didn’t sit right” with whomever I’m talking to.

college is kinda crazy because I’m paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to subject myself to constant mental torment all because they won’t just suck it up and let doctors practice without degrees

I left medical school last week. Withdrew in my second year. Alhamdulliah (All Praise to God) it was the best decision for me and I could see myself heading down a dark and dangerous path if I kept pushing myself at the pace I was. I hated the school I was at, it didn’t fit with my morals, I was making everyone around me sad and upset because of how unhappy I was (part of me is still bitter and negative) but more than anything I think I’m mad and disappointed in myself. I know I gave it my all, but the regret of not listening to my gut instincts 3 years ago sits with me.

It’s gonna take me some time to heal from the trauma of it all. I don’t really have any advice for now besides- stick to your convictions. At the end of the day, you are the one that has to live with your choices and if you don’t use your voice in the moments that really matter and cloud your judgement with voices as well meaning as they may be- you will spend years searching for your voice again only to hear it be a faint whisper.

My high school year book quote was this: “Courage does not always roar, sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying- I’ll try again tomorrow” + I remember my cousin who is now a second year internal medicine resident bullying me about still liking it to this day. So I definitely know I made the right decision to step away from medicine for now. I can’t handle the toxicity and bullying and even the most kindest people can lose their souls down this path so I warn you- set your intentions right and renew them frequently because it is easy to get lost.

Okay, bit more of a serious poll this time. I was talking with a friend who's a pre-med student and they said that they use chatgtp to bounce ideas off of and that its basically essential if you're a pre-med student. I wanna see if this is actually true. So, pre-med students of Tumblr, do you utilize chatgtp like this and would you consider it essential?

Reblog for larger sample size, etc, etc.

04/June/2022// Day2/14 of productivity streak

So the test went Better than my expectations but in a different way. Ugh can't explain, forget it. Anyways, Today I'm making this chart to ease some pain of learning animal kingdom. Honestly it's a read-learn-forget-repeat cycle for me. So making a chart might help.

Also, today is my backlog day, so I gotta complete electrostatics and revise current electricity. And some organic chemistry as well. Ik it sounds a lot but I've done bits of these chapters beforehand so there isn't that much to do. Idk if I'm making any sense but that's my to do list for today lol.

Day 12/13

I’m combining yesterday and today because exam revisions consumed my life and I’m just now finding a moment to take a breath and post. I spent my day writing a lab report about aspirin synthesis for my lab tomorrow. The lab part itself was actually really cool and I learned a lot, but the 10 page lab report was definitely a bit excessive for a summer course that is condensed into 5 weeks. I’m slowly getting a grove and figuring out my professors exam vibe so I’m hoping my exam score will reflect how hard I’ve been working. For whatever reason I’m struggling to pick up content but I’m hoping that my hard work pays off.

Today, I decided to still come to my favorite coffee shop but really just chill in the corner and work on my sweater + watch YouTube. I think I’ve unlocked the ultimate function of coffee shops.

So I am a first year med student in India and lately the only thing I wanna do is sleep and watch Netflix.

But you see I have exams and I have to study my ass off if I wanna pass them . And what better way to do it then make a studyblr !

Because then I would actually have a reason to scroll my time away on Tumblr .

On a more mature note , really wanna get the hang of studying. I have ADHD which makes everything 10 times harder so hoping this will change .

Considering the fact I took an hour to make this blog rather than studying, means I am already succeeding 😌😌😌

Also expect random tv show and book recs because your girl has many hyperfications 🤡

And and and freaking studying C++ is like studying something ancient af.

Like where are the tricks or mnemonics or fun way to understand a program and help solve a freaking question. And and i fucking hate writing programs on paper!! Plus i haven't studied shit for finals. And i only have one day right. Let me see how to handle it😭

12 days of Cranial Nerves: Hypoglossal nerve

Hypoglossal nerve is the 12th cranial nerve, having a purely motor function of innervating intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue. Intrinsic muscles allow you to change the shape of the tongue, while extrinsic - to move the tongue within the oral cavity. It arises from the medulla oblongata in the brain stem, passing across the posterior cranial fossa, within the subarachnoid space and exiting the cranium via the hypoglossal canal of the occipital bone. Outside of the cranium, the nerve receives a branch of the cervical plexus that conducts fibres from C1/C2 spinal nerve roots, and they travel together, crossing the internal and external carotid arteries and eventually reaching the anterior part of the tongue. The C1/C2 roots serve to  innervate the geniohyoid (elevates the hyoid bone) and thyrohyoid (depresses the hyoid bone) muscles.

What if it isn’t working properly?

It’s uncommon, but if one’s hypoglossal nerve is damaged, then a person might experience hypoglossal nerve palsy, characterised by deviating, unusual tongue movements, muscle wasting and twitching of isolated groups of muscle fibres on the affected side.

What conditions might affect the hypoglossal nerve?Possible causes of hypoglossal nerve palsy include cancers of head and neck and penetrating traumatic injuries.
