day in the life of a 2nd year medic! 🩺
hey everyone!!
i'm a struggling 19 y/o (now) second-year medic who goes to a med school in london !! med is HARD and I am probably the world's biggest procrastinator - so I thought making one of these would keep me motivated. will be updating this frequently as a continuation of my (not so) daily 1st year blog last year! hope you enjoy x
I'll try to post my daily work schedule everyday (but knowing me, no promises here!)
my academic profile so far
career aspirations??
if you'd like to be tagged, let me know

Soooo, I'm only a week into 2nd year and I'm already slacking off - I've been very cheeky and I've been missing lectures the day after clubbing which is not very GMC-approved-professional of me. I really do not want a repeat of last year where everything piled up by exam season and I was a living MESS. so this week I will be focusing on getting into the momentum of studying whilst also enjoying myself by socialising and going to societies
im also thinking of joining the gym this week which is funnnn (:
to do today
- pharmacology ankis
- vasopressin ankis
will be treating myself to a chill day today as lectures are full on tomorrow and im also too lazy aha

good luck! mine went okay but I was just so nervous - more than I had been before for some reason 😅 my previous ones had gone well so its probably me just being on 4 hours of sleep and being sleep-deprived. just be yourself and you'll be fine!!
also youtube has mock osce videos which are SO helpfulhaha depends on whether the actor makes it awkward
