A Public Health Studyblr

After three years of studying population health at the University of Auckland's Tamaki Campus, I'm back for a fourth. Here's to more caffeine from Aurora and nausea on the Student Bus Shuttles. A little honours year never killed nobody, right?

First week of May 2017 as a med student

Monday 1st: Attended my graduation ceremony with beloved honours friends. Also got to see other postgrad med friends graduate with their previous degrees

Tuesday 2nd:  AM- woke up with a throat that felt like it had been scraped with a cheese grater. Still went to class PM- uploaded and looked through other’s graduation photos instead of studying for musculoskeletal module test Wednesday 3rd:  AM- woke up feeling like death, but still went to class because of FOML (fear-of-missing-lectures) PM- tried past exam papers for musculo, couldn’t answer half the questions Thursday 4th: Felt better than the days before, but skipped class to study the hell out of musculo Friday 5th: AM- found musculo practical skills test easier than expected. Still made some really stupid mistakes, especially in the Human Anatomy Lab section PM- Studied with friends for the musculo theory test. Sat test. Survived test. Peer pressured to go out for post-test drinks Saturday 6th: AM- woke up coughing and called in sick for work. Went to get a blood-test to see if I’d developed immunity for hep B yet PM- should be catching up on all the digestive module lectures missed on Thursday, but am currently writing up a Tumblr post instead

Sending my dissertation proposal to the committee

And that’s a wrap

Now that my honours year is over, this will be my last post on this blog. It’s been a hectic year; literal blood, sweat and tears were shed, but I don’t regret doing this at all. I was given the opportunity to write a dissertation in an area I was greatly passionate about, guided by the most chill supervisor ever. I have made friends with the coolest and most passionate and supportive group of people. It has been an invaluable experience and I’m happy to say that I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Health Sciences degree, first class honours, from the University of Auckland.

Thanks to those of you who have been following me this year (many of you fellow public health students), despite my limited updates on here. Good news is that I was accepted into Auckland’s medical school a couple of days ago, and I’ll be posting on https://chooliastudies.tumblr.com/ now as a medical student, if you were interested in seeing what I got up to from now. 

My studies in the public health field during the last four years have made me who I am today, and I will ensure that I apply all that I have learnt in whatever I do. I wish you all well with your studies xx

I love my Honours friends so much, I made a whole video dedicated to our cohort

I’ve been useless at keeping this blog up to date, but I found out that I got an A on my dissertation a few days ago! Despite how much of a horror show 2016 has been, for me, it’s been one of the best years of my life. I’ve accomplished and learnt so much. Congratulations to those of you who have also finished writing this year! For those of you still writing, good luck and hang in there. “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

I feel like there’s a lot of infographics out there about STI prevention, but not enough about what happens if you already have one.  (The answer is not “you give up because your life is over.”)  So here, have some education!

Suffering from writer’s block, the grad student stares at a screen as empty as his hopes and dreams.
