‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾*mez's guide to not getting disowned : a y13 gyg*☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

Hi I just started y11 I’m sorta struggling with revision. Can you tell me how you revised every subject at gcse

thanksss
year 12!

hiya! what subjects are you doing so i can give you some more specific advice

awwww what a cutie

ahah the only way i get through life is by pretending im living in a tv show but then i forget im actually the main character instead of thinking 'wow this mez girl is so mf dumb lol'

all the best w y12? (i think you're y12 but im probs so wrong my brains fried so you'll have to excuse that haha) do you know what kinda courses you like the look of?

bwahaha might need to ask for your friends name lol she's in y12 right?
a queen

AHAHAHA harvard? you sound like my mum lmao one of my friends applied to cam last year and then harvard just for the bants but tell me why she got offers from both....and why did i tell my mum eesh but yea i dont wanna study in stinky america no thanks (fast forwards to 10 years when mez is prepping for the usmle to become a doctor in the US....lord forbid)

ooh exciting, what a levels are you taking?

I do the exact same ones, apart from history, drama, art and Latin

i do the same, constantly pretending i’m in some tv series is the only way to go

it’s very complicated,, i’m meant to be in yr11 but i moved countries which means everything got messed up so i took igcses early and now i have to do AS aged 15 lolol

hoping to study med just like you, i haven’t looked into the details yet in terms of the course for both unis, been looking at the unis themselves though and i currently prefer cam but we’ll see!

Nah Ill dm you on insta I think I recognise one of your mates from somewhere aswell sis 😂

Oml thats the plan I swear: USMLE
Swear you have to do really well to even have a chance at getting employed there?

Great to see you’re managing to juggle these subjects so well, can’t wait to experience that next year! 😂😭

paper chain essay plans sounds terrible

Bio maths and psychology. How do you get such good grades? what's the whole process like?!

Oml Mez the peanut butter 💀

Ah Hypothesis testing is one of the topics that I learnt in lockdown and I hate it. There was a question involving that on my mock last week and I'm certain I messed it up

Well....the title....confused me, but glad to hear everything is okay, forgetting allergies is easily done (I had a similar situation with a friend who is vegan once, luckily they weren't allergic, but I felt very guilty).

Best of luck with all the UCAS stuff!!!

episode three: i spill chemicals down my leg


yikes....how embarAssing but more on that later.


biology:

errrm we keep missing lots of bio lessons bc my teachers go on courses but i don’t really mind. we’re finishing up respiration and UghHhHhH we have a bio trip where we gotta trek around a forest n throw quadrats around for eight hours noOooo can’t we just do it on the field please whyyy. we also are finishing of human responses just gotta do the kidneys and livers n then we’re onto boooooring plant stuff yawn who cares which hormones they use just let them be ya know photosynthesis n all that. hm we were gonna have a test on the first day back but we all begged for second week back bc lots of people are doing bmat so we will Not be revising respiration over half term hahaA

chemistry:

so i called it - we had a test (that’s why this update is so late lol) it was on transition metals, ligands & complex ions, redox which is just spicy maths, and organic yUuuuck actually i prefer organic but it’s just so MUCH to remember but luckily it was just aromatics n carbonyls. i felt it went okay i haven’t done proper revision in a lOng while but i made sure to do all the questions i could find n it went okay! it’s tough bc now every single test counts towards potential cags (centre assessed grades) if our exams get cancelled next year n they need evidence of our predicted so it’s like STRESSS because i have to balance my bmat revision, interview prep and all my other teachers also feel like giving out tests too so mmm how fun

and back to today’s title...so yes after 7 years of chemistry mez manages to spill chemicals down her trousers woo....luckily it was only universal indicator but I really thought it was h2so4 looool thank the lord, was proper worried it was gonna stain my leg green but it came off in the shower. that practical was also unnecessarily long we had to distillate and reflux alcohol to aldehydes to carboxylic acids but it did end up working as we used the tiny drops of universal indicator left n it turned acidic somehow! the set up was quite cool but a pAin to put together you had to get it at a particular angle or it would keep slipping out the tube n working with water and electricity simultaneously was kinda scary but also exhilarating bwahaha.

we also did another pag (nope I didn’t spill anything don’t worry) where we made esters which was soooooo fun omg made me realise how much I love chem n i know it’s not the same as pharmaceuticals but just mixing things in test tubes and making pretty colours n smells just Yesss i want a lab in my future forever home.



here’s some i made earlier! from left to right they smell like bananas, flowers and apricots!!

psychology :

why is she setting us another test....didn’t we just do one huh! n this topic is so boring it’s issues and debates like nature vs nurture, is psychology a science. it’s quite short so it’s looking like a day before kinda memorising situation. the end of this topic marks the halfway point in A2 and we just have three topics left!! crazyyyy but these next topics are chunky but super interesting we’re doing relationships, aggression and schizophrenia.

maths:

you know im actually loving maths rn! hypothesis testing is so fun n my calculator (once I remember how to use it) makes it a dream. even parametrics aren’t too bad. sigh just dreading when we go onto calculus....... and we will be soon as we have a ffffffff maths test on the last day of half term aaaagghhhhh on radians, trig, parametrics and some y2 mechanics I think resolving forces and moments. so that’s gonna be fun revision but i dont mind these topics. trig is actually quite fun now that i have the identities down and it’s vvv nice knowing how to derive them from other things. wah what is this mathematical enthusiasm who are you and what have you done with mez....

epq:

we got our marks back n i got 41/50 which is an A. i mean im fine with that it’s just a lil bit meh bc i put a lot of work into it but oh well trying to appeal it is too much effort and it doesn’t even affect any of my ucas choices. plus I already have a gold crest for it so i don’t reaaaallly care. here’s to hoping the boundaries plummet next year I think it was 45 for an A* but I won’t get my hopes up

extras:

so we had to run virtual societies which was a mess to start with but eventually it ended up working pretty well so that’s great we can somewhat restart those. we also have to finalise our conference details....why do people not reply to emails oh my.

more excitingly....if that’s even a word - i was awarded a jack petchey award?!?! like hUhHhh what did i even do lol I thought it was a mistake at first but nope! that was absolutely mad n yeah I get to decide where to donate the £250 to either a school project/department. so a y13 trip or.....n i also won another essay competition i didn’t even recall entering ahaha how fun.

ah and I found a picture of the brownies that nearly killed my best friend last week:



and i also found


tiny pumpkin! why does my hand look so fat-

hmm i also got onto two programmes for interview skills thats gonna run over the next couple weeks so that’s exciting stuff hopefully i’ll become one of those people who can articulate their thoughts beautifully...i still much prefer writing.

ahhh and i started in my first ever film! ahaha not really it was something for the schools virtual open evening but it was suuuuuper fancy one of our old English teachers went on to become a director so he came back n had this whole lighting set up w two camera angles n i got to wear a mic and snap the little thing and say Action!! oh and the validations was just mwah chefs kiss i got my propaganda speech done in one take yes Bow down everyone I’m the Best. ahh creative mez was absolutely thrivinG ugh in an alternate reality i am definitely living my suppressed theatre kid dreams.

oh and happy ucas early entry deadline day! depending on when i get this up the deadline should be 6pm so make sure you get them in/got them in by then! i sent mine off on Monday and ahhhh super scary but exciting getting all the email confirmations from unis wooo and What the hell people are already getting offers at my school aha idk how that even works but it’s crazY. for med it’s different as they gotta look at everything like entrance tests predictors etc n then call for interview. plus my bmat is now in under three weeks and i am yet to start intensive revision. i just get so tired when i get home ive been waking at 4am for the past month n trying to fit everything in and yet there still aren’t enough hours in the day! aaGghh looking like a half term GRIND ohhhH i really need it go well. i wanted to go up to oxford for a day as I’ve never been before just to feel the vibes but w all these new restrictions idk if that’s gonna be possible. im just holding out for nov 4th then I can sorta relax ish..i try doing stuff on the train to and from school as it’s like an hour journey but it’s just sooo easy to fall asleep ahH hopefully I’ll snap into it soon.


me any sort of doing work that requires multiple brain cells

and on that note - im going to be inactive on here until my bmat is over as i just can’t balance so many things (sigh guess i really am not indestructible) so yeah if you see me around tsr please tell me to go and revise okay! peer pressure guys come on. I deleted all my socials n my screen time has Shot down one day it was something like 53mins it was crazy but yeah i just need all the time i can get at this point.

i’ll be back soon! in the meantime please stay happy and healthy, wear warm clothes as it’s starting to get a lil colder but hey the best season is starting soon haha. all my early entry gang im so proud of us for getting it all in and just surviving the last couple months. your efforts do not go unnoticed and you all deserve the world and more, don’t let anyone tell you different.



alrighty lads that’s all from me for now,, until next time! take care, chins up, masks on and wash your hands you stinkies

lots of love!!

mez <3
