For The [Forgetful]: When the Planner isn’t Enough

This post is for all of the students that begin the semester using a perfectly organized planner, then suddenly… stop. I want you to know that I see you and you’re not alone. When I first started college, my favorite thing about the new school was picking out a new planner. I’m talking about the pricey planners too (Day Designer, Ban.do, etc.). Sophomore year, I was given the Class Tracker which I used a lot more (probably because it was super practical). The…

When You’re SLACKING Slacking

  Earlier last week, I caught myself slipping. I had a to-do list that was probably as long as my arm, but I still felt the urge to binge Law and Order: SVU.

To the non-stem major who’s also premed

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while now, but I wanted to get more into my major courses before I did. After running across a Twitter thread that basically said that doctors who graduated with a non-STEM degree were dumb, I figured that now’s a good time as any. I’m gonna get more into why I decided to go the non-STEM route and I hope that this post could help someone who is currently having the same experience…
