Note to self
Stop thinking: “I’m not talented enough to execute this concept.” Start thinking: “I’m going to be a stronger artist when I’ve finished this piece.”
This is a fixed mindset vs. a growth mindset.
Your abilities are not static, and any challenges you have, anything that turns out different from how you imagined, is not evidence of failure, just a struggle towards improvement.
some organic chemistry notes on hydrocarbons!!
Pretty notes. 😍

Knowing the 20 Amino Acids is definitely a MUST for the 2015 MCAT
Amino acids that are usually negative (i.e. de-protonated) at physiological pH:
- Glutamate (E) Glu, and Aspartate (D) Asp
Amino acids that are usually positive (i.e. protonated) at physiological pH:
- Lysine (K) Lye, Arginine ® Arg
Histidine is sometimes charged at physiological pH.
physiological pH = 7, Neutral

med schools prefer a certain type of person....arrogant, narcissistic, socially awkward robots.
The following is only based on my own experiences and my own opinion.
I have been premed for four years in undergrad and 2 years of grad school (this master’s program was designed to get me into med school). And let me tell you, some of the worst people I have ever met in my life got into medical school. People who literally bullied me are now medical students. Now, I’m not saying that every single med student possesses bad qualities. There are genuinely kind, intelligent, caring students out there who deserve their spot in medical school. But if I could guess, I would say they make up only 15 percent of medical students. The rest of the 85 percent are all the same- arrogant, narcissistic, socially awkward robots. And this 85 percent usually gets in to medical school first, right out of undergrad. The rest of students who don’t possess these qualities usually end up not getting in and applying later.
This is simply a trend I’ve noticed. I believe there are certain characteristics and personalities that medical schools prefer in their applicants. You know those asshole teaching assistants that everyone cant stand? Yea they end up getting in. You know those students who will kick you when you’re down just to get an A? Yea they end up getting. You know those students who have 4.0′s but freak everyone out by talking about how they failed the test or how hard being premed is? Yea they got in.
These personality trends also show up later on. Why do you think medical schools are emphasizing “patient- centered” care? Based on what I’ve seen in premed students, of course patients are dissatisfied with constantly dealing with these kinds of personalities in healthcare. Once these students start earning money and earn the physician title, their ego’s explode.
Overall, if you don’t get into medical school and you feel so disappointed because you genuinely wanted to contribute good to society, don’t worry. Medical school admissions are not necessarily the best judge of character. You may actually be TOO GOOD to become a doctor. Take that as a compliment. Either continue applying, or just move on. There are plenty of opportunities to make a positive impact in this world.
I’m curious to hear what others have to say about about this. I’m not trying to generalize everyone, but this is just what I’ve noticed based on my own premed journey.
If you’re thinking about studying medicine, read this.
Remember that it’s hard for everyone and no one woke up one day knowing it all.
Don’t compare yourself to others : you don’t know what’s behind that girl who spends hours at the library, or that guy that claims he knows everything by heart. Do your thing and have faith.
It’s not because you’ve “studied” for 6 hours straight that you’ve actually been productive. Quality over quantity, always (I still tend to forget about this sometimes)
Don’t ditch physics and chemistry. Also, don’t ditch any important textbook chapter to save you time! You’ll thank me later.
Please take care of your mental health. Take your medication if you need some, and look for help if you’re feeling stuck.
Try to stay healthy and to keep moving, it actually helps a lot.
DRINK. YOUR. WATER.
Find YOUR study method. It’s not because everyone else is studying something in a certain way that it’ll work for you.
Don’t lose too much time on useless details. Focus on key concepts instead.
Nothing is ever like it seems and nothing is ever like you imagined.
Stress is only bad if you see it that way. You can’t avoid stress but you can see it in a positive way instead. Whenever you’re feeling anxious just close your eyes and take a deep breath and think about something that makes you happy. This could be anything : your cat, your family, a warm cup of tea… just imagine something that will put a smile on your face. You’ll feel relieved.
Have faith that the Universe has a plan for you. Accept fear and embrace it with love. You’re allowed to expect miracles.
Sleep is SO IMPORTANT : make sure you sleep at least 7 hours every night! Sleep is actually the best way to memorize what you’ve learned in a day.
Delete social media from your phone if it’s bothering/distracting you. Also, remember that ¾ of what you see on Instagram is fake.
Take real breaks. One hour break won’t make you lose time. It’ll make you more productive, especially if you’ve been studying for hours. Your brain will process what you’ve learned whilst you’re doing other things.
Learn how to be disciplined. Build a routine. Try to stick to it. But remember to change one thing at a time so you won’t feel overwhelmed.
Please go outside when it’s sunny and get your dose of happiness and vitamin D
Good people exist so please don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Be grateful. Always.
You will never know what people think of you, and most of the time you’re the only one who’s been judging yourself.
Don’t drink too much coffee.
Meditate, even for 5 minutes each day.
Don’t forget to have fun along the way !
While re-reading this I feel like these tips can be applied to everyone and not only med students! Don’t hesitate to write your own advice in the comments :)
Hope you liked it!

Realistic study aesthetics
Piles of tissues all over your desk because of this cold you just can’t shake
Lighting a candle when you sit down and then forgetting about it until hours later
Pouring the dregs out of your mug and finding rings stained into it because it’s been sat there for so long
Weird pen marks on odd parts of your body you can’t explain (how did i get pen behind my ear? How long has it been there?)
Piles of crap around the bin you’re too lazy to empty
Not taking your break when the timer goes off because you got into a rhythm and then immediately losing all motivation as soon as you set a second timer
Giving yourself a day off and then forgetting how to study
Quick, 2 minute power cries in between revision when it just gets too much
Aesthetic notes that mean you get pen all over your hands
Small bits of paper with scribbles on for testing pens or gluing bits of paper
So. Many. Empty. Glasses.
Feel free to add your own! 💛🌻
Random stacks of papers, notebooks and textbooks piled precariously high, and knowing exactly where everything is
Half-finished to do lists on odd Post It notes
Teas that have long since gotten cold
Leaving your desk only to pee and getting distracted multiple times before returning to study
And so much more!
Very Fast Study Tip™
If you are a university student, especially a STEM major, ESPECIALLY AN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY STUDENT, you need a whiteboard.
You can revise all the notes in your respective hemisphere but without active repetition it means nothing. Write your mechanism/structure/wedding vows. Erase part of it. Write it again. Erase more of it. Repeat.
Get a big one so that you can sit on the floor/bed/table without straining your back from looking down. I have no attention span but I can white-board for hours.
Best of luck on finals!
If taking O Chem 1 in five weeks sounds like hell, that’s because it is.
