Question about life

Depends on the type of person u are innit. For example, I get decent grades without much revision, some people say it’s a good thing but I KNOW it’s not, cause I could be so much better if I wasn’t lazy and if I didn’t watch anime 24/7. Not just better in studies but learning new skills or reading more books. But at the end of the day I know myself and I know that my family, having fun, enjoying life ect make me more happy. I don’t know what’s gonna happen to me tmr, I’ll do what I like.

The main question is: what are your dreams? How big are they? If you have very ambitious dreams you best believe there’s a price to pay. Another question is how do you handle stress? I know I don’t go well with it, it causes me a plethora of psychological problems🥴Therefore, although I want to be a medical student atm I may finally give in and realise it’s too much for me. Dreams can change too.

It’s a tough one, not everyone can have concrete dreams. Hope this helps

Personally, if it is your passion and you want your dream, go for it, what do you have to lose? It's up to you but it's nice and satisfying to know if you tried instead of thinking if you could have made it. I mean, worst case scenario, if you tried and didn't make it, you're back at square one but if you just didn't try, you're still at square one.

My dream was always to do medicine at university I would say that it is a massive and ambitious dream and the price to pay is having to endure high levels of stress and uncertainty as it is not easy to get the grades required so in the back of my mind there is this fear that despite doing all I can it just won't be enough. But I feel if it does succeed my life will have meaning and purpose. I have an offer to study Chinese but part of me wants to give my dream of studying medicine another go but this would me declining my offers going back to college to do chemistry, resetting biology and doing the UCAT.

This is a difficult one with medicine being so competitive and i have of course heard of people applying and getting no offers. I think personally that this is more of a question if you think that you can do it and the grades that you need, and persevere when things get really hard.

What grade did you get in biology and do you think that you could do considerably better when resitting it?

I think that if you’re willing to pay the price of more years studying and more stress etc for medicine that you should go for it. Even if you don’t get onto medicine straight away there are other things that you could do that are related. Stuff like biomedical sciences or i think there could possibly be foundation courses for medicine at some unis?? Just do your research on your options before you make any decisions and if you’d be willing to do a similar career if it really wasn’t meant to be.

Doing chinese sounds kind of crazy though if your dream is medicine. If you try your best and can’t make it as a doctor then it wasn’t meant to be, that’s how life works sometimes, but if you never try you’ll never know.

I got a B grade in biology.
