I love the post, but I don't like the fact that it doesn't mention the amazing Sigrid and her song 'Strangers' that those lyrics are from. Please, always credit atrists when you use a piece of their work :)
bad nerd gift idea - a calendar with photos but instead of kittens or sexy women/men itās the twelve cranial nerves
For my birhtday I got an anatomy colouring book. I kid you not, it's the best gift I have ever received

as ur friendly Neighborhood Nursing Studentā¢ i feel somewhat compelled to remind everyone with the hot weather:
every liquid except sea water and alcohol hydrates you. Itās not CHUG WATER OR DIE. in fact, gatorade and the like are designed to hydrate you efficiently.
yeah, this includes coffee and tea and soda. the diuretic is not enough to cancel out the liquid. juices and milk have solids in them, sure, but theyāre also mostly liquid! it counts.Ā
your body can only absorb so much water at a time, so chugging 64 oz of water at noon and calling it good will do a wonderful job of flushing your kidneys, but not so much of hydrating your tissues. itās more important that youāre getting consistent fluid throughout the day.Ā
thereās a lot of fancy ways to determine How Much Water (Liquid) I Should Drink but honestly? 8 oz (1 cup) every other hour on cool days and 8 oz everyĀ hour on hot days should be fine (assuming you sleep for a normal amount of time per dayā¦. iām assuming ur awake 16 hours a day.)
figure out how many oz each of ur favorite cups is. itāll help your guesstimation.Ā
if ur urine is darker than light yellow, youāre dehydrated.Ā
if u pinch the skin on the back of ur hand for a couple seconds and it takes more than a second or two go to back to normal then ur dehydrated.Ā
In regards to #1, donāt take this as an excuse to drink the sugar water that they call sports drinks. They arenāt bad for you per se, but please choose water.
actually this entire post was written in the spirit of ppl using it as an excuse to drink sports drinks and soda etc
ppl have been commenting abt sodium levels in soda and sugar levels in sports drinks and thats all well and good but what iāve noticed is that people who internalizeĀ āwell, ONLY WATER hydrates meā but who HATE WATER remain horrifically dehydrated cause they dont drink anything.Ā
so like. if ur a person who haaaaates tap water, this is absolutely me giving you permission to drink whatever fluid you can stomach. please take this as a direct excuse to drink nothing but gatorade if thatās what it takes to get enough fluid into ur body.
itās not the healthiest for you, sure, but youāre a smart enough person to know that. please drink fluids anyways.Ā
if u like water thats gr8. if you can stomach water thatās gr8. if you canāt, thatās okay too, and you need to stay hydrated just as much as anyone else, so please drink.Ā
I used to hate tap water, and in some places (looking at you, Iowa) it is legit disgusting, but one thing I do which helped a ton and was long term cheaper than buying soda or juice was to get a bottle of Angostura bitters. Itās a cocktail additive with a strong distinctive flavor, so although a tiny bottle is like $6 it will last you for ages. Put a small drop or dash in your glass then fill with water. It has a pleasant sort of herbal metal taste (I understand that those words donāt seem like they should go together but itās hard to describe) which masks tap water. It also helps me smooth an upset tummy but your mileage may vary. Itās not something that will get you drunk, just a flavoring like vanilla extract.
If that all sounds like too much bother, dropping a lemon wedge into water also helps.
I am learning that lemon wedges are magical in almost everything I like to drink.
here is the magic that made me stop being chronically dehydrated:
because yeah, i canāt STAND plain water ā it tastes like the inside of my mouth. it tastes like spit. imagine drinking a glass of ice cold spit. ugh. but add a squirt of this stuff to your glass of tapwater, and now it tastes like apple, cherry, lemonade, whatever.
i also got a bunch of these
and pre-prep them with flavored water, iced tea, iced coffee, whatever (or ask my helper to do it), and then when iām thirsty but distracted and want to just grab some kind of liquid without thinking about finding a clean glass etc., i can just grab one of these.
because yeah, hating water is a thing, and dehydration SUCKS. so drink SOMETHING, donāt be a water purist. better to chug iced coffee than go without.
mio was a damn genius for comin out with that shit
can I just speak up here as someone who has been a nurse for 17 years? I heartily endorse this post and also give you permission to DRINK WHATEVER THE HELL IT TAKES TO KEEP YOU FROM BEING DEHYDRATED
especially in the summer, you canāt play around with that. drink something. seriously. for the love of kittens. DRINK SOMETHING.Ā
I am so glad that this exists!!! People I know always berate me for never drinking water but water is kinda weird and boring and I donāt really like it in my mouth. So I drink juice and soda and sparkling water instead but they keep on pestering me! Iām glad I have some info to back me up on my own habits now
For anybody who only likes filtered water, allow me to introduce you to my water bottles:
As you suck, it filters water. This is like $12 on Amazon, and you replace the filters every other month. The filters are $17 for four.
Because youāre sucking water through a filter, it isnāt as easy as sucking water through a normal straw.
But thereās lots of filter water bottle options out there!

Iāve seen a post somewhere that said getting a HRT prescription takes a couple month and doesnāt cost that much and is generally great and easy and likeā¦ what magical land do you live in???
For me (I live in Poland) getting my testosterone required:
-8 psychiatrist/sexologist visits
-10 psychotherapist visits
-kariotype reading
-brain MRI
-EEG
-ultrasound of abdominal organs and reproductive organs
-eight months of waiting
-a blood test that required three viles of blood
-an endocrinologist visit (obviously)
-like thirty phone calls to find at least one pharmacy in the entire country that sells T gel
-a trip to another city
Together all of this before actually buying the testosterone cost more than a thousand (1000) dollars. The actual testosterone, with the price of traveling to another city, cost 100$ for a one month worth of doses. And I was lucky. I got good doctors who only asked for necessary tests and didnāt extend the 6 months observational period to two years or something.
This is NOT easy. If you arenāt trans, donāt tell us it is easy. It is a long process that requires a lot of time and money. Donāt be an asshole to pre-HRT or non-HRT people.
Just donāt.Ā
I guess it could be easier for people in other countries, because healthcare in Poland... well you live here, so you know. I remember how much trouble it was to buy antidepressants, so I can only imagine that trying to buy T has to be even a bigger pain in the ass. But I hope everything goes well for you, I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :)
March 18th, 2018 Trying to study for my physiology test tomorrow, but I've landed on my bed, and that never ends up well in terms of studying. However it usually ends up great in terms of naps! ;) Have a lovely day! :)

Three days apart It only took three days for it to bloom so beautifully. Lately I've been feeling this urge, to just stop and admire the world. I feel that often these days we live so fast in our pursue of perfection, that we don't even notice that the world around us is perfect, and sometimes that is enough. Stop and smell the flowers. It might sound cheesy, but the truth is, it really feels good to just slow down and appreciate what's around you. Have a great day!

I'm in my biomechanics class and we're doing this thing where we're controlling a computer game by contracting and relaxing muscles! That's super fascinating, I didn't even know such thing existed! I'm so happy I'm studying physical therapy. I finally feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be!
