Thank you, it's very kind of you to offer!

And please also keep us updated on how your daughter gets along with her application for next year :smile:

I will thank you, I can’t wait for her to finish her a levels and then we have a holiday the four of us postponed from 2020 to Boston. It will be nice to forget about medicine (for a short while at least) 😂😂🙈

Succulents? Little desk plants are so cute! They're definitely calming, which is something we would probably need from time to time!

Yes definitely! We should all share photos of our desk set ups when we're ready!

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:

Gosh you’re so organised! I haven’t even started thinking about this stuff

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?

Ooh that's a great idea! I've been watching a few of Faye Bates' videos, since she already studies at ARU :biggrin:

I might watch some other YouTubers too!

Me too, I've got stationery from sixth form, so I don't think I'll be buying much soon and I'm hoping to buy a iPad set when the back to school offers come around in June/July. Exactly! I think I'll be moving in the first or second week of September hehe

I really like Notion! I used throughout sixth form and the new updates are meant to be good too :yep:

At least for now I can occupy myself with applying for FH, but I'm stuck on how much I should write and what to include :s-smilie:

Oh I was typing out so much more than just a paragraph in my draft... nearing 3 paragraphs :flute:

I'll be sure to cut it down somehow!

I'm confident that IB will get it then :biggrin:

@ShadowHokage I didn't know you're an aspiring medic (I still feel bad about editing your post that day :biggrin:

Well I started by how I discovered the medicine forum and then how much people had helped me. Then I talked about my reapplication and how I improved from last year and how I have been helping others to do the same. And then I mentioned what I’d like to do if I am made an FH

You can tell I took English Lit at Higher Level lol - I like writing
