The most chaotic week of my pre-med journey

Exam season is officially testing my patience (and memory)

This week was packed but kinda fulfilling in a weird way

Monday started with my 8 am chem lecture + a quick quiz before heading straight to my phage discovery lab where my little phage is finally growing, after that, I stayed in the library to study and review what we covered in chemistry class.

Tuesday was chem lab at 8 am, the smell of chemicals that early should be illegal lol. After lab, my lab partner and I decided to stay and study for our upcoming chem exam (productive, chaotic, and powered by caffeine).

Wednesday was another early chem lecture followed by a long self-study at the library. I like going over what I learned that day and doing practice problems until it sticks

Thursday’s technically my day off, but I still studied at a café because… I needed to get out of the library.

Friday was back to phage discovery honestly, one of my favorite classes because your phage literally becomes your child. You feed it, take care of it, and hope you don’t lose it.

Saturday was Psy 101 day! I didn’t take pics in class, but I studied for it after. I love seeing how psych concepts actually apply to real life it makes it way more interesting.

As for next week, I’ve got my CPR + AED exam and an ethics skills check coming up. I’m feeling confident since we’ve practiced every week.

Even on my “rest” days (Thursday + Sunday), I still do some light review to stay consistent.

This exam season is just two weeks long, so hopefully things calm down and go back to normal after it 😅
