I have a study week this week to do a transfusion medicine course, so thought I'd post a throwback study pic!

Lore Drop

Tagged by nobody in particular, I just like memes.

Do you make your bed?

Yes, it looks nicer that way.

Favourite number?

I've been told it's 7.

What's your job?

I listen to people's problems, try to help and sometimes fix things.

If you could go back to school, would you?

Sure, I'd consider a Master's. Not sure I'd be up for a PhD at thos point in time. I'm eyeing up a diploma. We don't stop learning in medicine.

Can you parallel park?

I'm pretty good at it, actually. I hate bay parking in tight spots, though. My old car didn't have any parking assistance so I learned the old fashioned way. And my current car's alarm is too sensitive for my tastes.

Do you think aliens are real?

Statistically, there is probably life put there somewhere.

Can you drive a manual car?

I've only recently converted to automatic cars, so i have something like a decade's experience with manual cars. It's less stressful in traffic but I feel like I have less direct control when I'm doing manoeuvres.

What's your guilty pleasure?

I don't think simple pleasures should make people feel guilt. That said I've been busy for so long that just taking it easy and letting myself have a mental health day being unproductive feels like a guilty pleasure. Dx Dude has to remind me that I'm allowed to just do nothing on a day off.

Tattoos?

None yet, maybe one day. I feel like I would get a cat tattoo if or when that happens.

Favourite colour?

Red.

Do you like puzzles?

Yes. But I have a lot less patience than I used to. I'm just mentally tired a lot of the time.

Any phobias?

Not officially. But the idea of going on a very large boat or being in a locked space makes me uncomfortable, and I can thank watching Titanic for that, I think.

Favourite childhood sport?

Benchball? Gymnastics? I can't remember which sports I liked the most as a kid.

Do you talk to yourself?

I think out loud all the time. Having a cat around makes it more socially acceptable.

Tagging any of my followers, but also trying to pick a few mutuals who have been active recently - @mursejesse @ley-med @sometimeswegetlonely @wheresonichedgehogwnt @dorklord-maouvioletta

what’s the first thing you notice about people? i'm a big noticer of voices, hair, lips and eyebrows.

what’s your eye colour? dark brown

scary movie or happy ending? absolutely happy ending. one time when i was kid i was supposed to write a horror movie script for an assignment and i still somehow ended up giving it a happy ending.

what are your hobbies? music, reading, writing, art, gaming

30/09/20 ~ preparing for my English language lecture!

hi guys, just a quick post to get back into the swing of tumblr. I’m really excited for autumn and Halloween, even if it’s going to be different from last year! I’m just looking forward to movies, hot drinks and good food honestly 💓.

Maybe also a distraction from uni because the first two weeks of first year have been quite hard frankly! I’m not really enjoying university as I thought I would, mostly due to the lack of contact with other students and the university environment. It really has made me contemplate the choices I’ve made and consider future choices I might make. How are you guys feeling being back to school and uni?

Introduction post

Hello ! 

I realize it’s been a long time I’m on Tumblr and I’ve never introduce myself properly to the english spoken population. Because it’s never to late (and I’m keen on talking about myself for once) let’s do this. 

My name is Marine, 23 yo (oooold), French (but not Parisian). I'm a Slytherin and INTJ.

I'm a 3rd year Physiotherapy Student and I did 3 years in Medschool. I'm also waiting (and doing everything I can) to have a PhD in neurosciences to do research.

I'm also very curious so there is a lot of topic that interest me.

I have been diagnosed with depression (and mood disorders) and struggled with it for half my life. I've taken meds, undergone therapy and saw a psychiatrist (which I still do) and it's getting better.

I play handball, practice a bit of yoga, music (piano and the guitar). I discovered my passion for making pastry one year ago and it's so cool. I love to read when I have some times.

I am bisexual and currently with my girlfriend for a few months now.

In this tumblr I share things about studying, mental health, about my personal life and my experiences during my rotations. Also inspo about life in general and study spaces (I’ve moved in a house with two roomates and in need of inspiration to make my bedroom my own.)

I really like following :

- @quilavastudy and @joolshallie bc they’re inspiring me to pursue medecine (and I find it so nice that they’re sisters!)

- @studyquill bc she’s full of advices/tips and kindness. (also Hermione inspo!) Her notes are so neat and pretty too!

- @howtoskewl bc Gilmore girl (even though you changed url)

- @dungeonstudy yey fellow slytherin 

- @study-like-its-hot bc I love to see her picture of Cambridge !

- and so much more. Thank you to be an inspiration for people ! :) 

[pagesofelizee]

I finished my Canadian Lit note transfer/revision. I’m onto American Lit. Hopefully I can finish The Age Of Innocence so that I can be up to date. Been here since 2pm, it’s 6 pm now.

How are you spending your Thanksgiving?

I’m currently in my third year of med school and would love to get involved in research, but I’m finding it pretty hard to do so.

Would anyone know about any remote research opportunities, or how to search for them? 🙏🏼

[ 18.06.17 ] studyblrs aren't perfect. the photos on here are often edited to look better. any pretty note you see is often the result of hours of work, often just rewriting a perfectly fine, albeit somewhat messy, note. and my god, please don't be under the impression that no one else makes mistakes. the pictures above show my real work (right) and the same picture, but very heavily edited (left). not only are they the same picture, but the answer is very wrong, and i'd be lying if i didn't say i didn't get frustrated and cry on my notebook. i get it, it's so easy to compare yourself to the other people in the studyblr community, who appear to have their life together, be all around perfect. but that isn't true, all you're doing is setting yourself up for failure. if i'm being completely honest, i made the prettiest physics notes. i rewrote a bunch of perfectly fine ones taken in class, because i didn't want that colour, and i went through and wrote all the definitions, all the formulas, drew all the diagrams, i could find in the textbook. all that effort and i still failed. i'd be lying if i said that didn't cause me to fall into a. depressive rut but when it all comes down to it, it was 100% my fault for prioritizing having aesthetic notes over actually studying and doing practice problems.
