y's gyg to FINALLY become an "academic weapon" b4 yr12 mocks

I stumbled upon gyg literally 30mins ago and it seems like a really great way to attempt to force myself to study!
General stuff ab me: I love reading (Inheritance Game series, Mazerunner, Harry Potter, etc), I watch loads of TV shows, I like to (attempt to) bake stuff, and going for walks!
For context, I'm a Year 12 student currently studying maths, bio and chem. I aspire to apply for Medicine, but I have to fix my work ethic for that to be possible. My grades... aren't so good rn. We had a mock in Nov, and I got BCB respectively. I haven't been motivated coming into my A-level journey, and I do the bare minimum, despite having been a good student beforehand. It's sad cause I'm disappointed when I get Bs and Cs but I expect to get As without revising
I have mocks in late June, after the (poor ) Year 13s leave. This gives me 10 weeks ish to get myself up to A grade standard. This is so I can be predicted A*s for my subjects for UCAS.
Over this first week of Easter, I've been focusing more on Biology and Maths seeing as they are my worst 2 subjects of the 3. I've been doing bio content using Anki flashcards and answering past paper questions on AS maths.
Over my next week, I aim to do much more seeing as Ramadan is ending soon (Eid Mubarak!) and I would like to complete ppqs across my subjects and full papers hopefully.
I'll be checking in daily, documenting what I manage to do I'd love to make some study friends, so feel free to DM <3

09/04/24 update ✧
only managed to do some mechanics work unfortunately, did around 1h30 of connected particles questions from the textbook and watched related TLmaths vids on yt. i was really busy today, and i had to do loads of chores but it's fine cause its eid tmrw, and i'm so excited to see family and eat loads of food!
random thought: what came first, the chicken or the egg? if u ask me it must have been the chicken...
