Please feel free to use this tag list (press </> to copy and paste the code) in your updates! I'll be keeping this tag list up to date as compared to the one in the first post, since that whole post is too long 🙈

Everything from kitchen stuff to bathroom items, room and personal!
Things such as pans, cutlery, duvets, a couple of towels, a crazy number of bowls (I'll definitely just pick a few :tongue:

), bathroom items like air fresheners and surface cleaners. This isn't even all of it but the more I type the more I realise how much I've already bought :rofl:

Wahhhh my excitement is brimming just reading that list! Its definitely better to get all of these items ready, rather than buying them last minute like I probably will do :lol:

The urge to splurge on stationary is so real right now, I have to keep telling myself that I don't need another notebook/pen/set of highlighters etc :lol:

Thank you for adding me to the blog @KA_P :biggrin:

I won't be moving to halls so I don't have a list of stuff to buy, but I'm preparing by watching youtube videos by med students. There are so many great channels out there and I get so excited about it all! Absolutely love Kharma Medic's vlogs!

I'm also resisting buying stationary because I'm hoping to go digital with my notes this time around. Having lots of paper notes is such a pain in terms of storage, and also when you have to move house!! Anyone used Notion on here?

My son is due home at Easter for a rest but is still revising for his fourth year exams in June. If you have any easy questions let me know and I’ll ask him.

Thank you for offering to ask! Where does he study?

I've heard anatomy is really hard because of the sheer volume of stuff you need to memorise. What would be his top tips for 1st years to not get overwhelmed with anatomy?

ooh decorative stationery! Now I'm tempted!

I also can't wait to get rid of all my work stuff from my desk! I will redecorate my office with lots of cute motivational posters on my wall :biggrin:
