Welcome to cafedemic! The only study blog with the ramblings of an overworked high schooler with high ambitions and low work ethic. This is my blog to document my journey from being me to becoming my future self, from being a high schooler to becoming a doctor of neurology, and securing my lifelong dream. Well not really lifelong but my dream nonetheless. I’m looking forward to the day this becomes a full on medblr :)
This blog will be a mixture of my ramblings, posts related to medicine and academics, and my unfiltered studying life. Make no mistake, I’m not here for the aesthetics. I’m not going to post my super fancy notes and stationery. While I love that stuff, I’m here solely to make sure that we as students know that we don’t have to be perfect. We don’t have to be focused on aesthetics. We don’t have to be alone.
So let’s chat! Let’s be tired together!! I’m looking forward to it!
you can find more about me below :)
If you decided to keep reading, hello hello hello! My name is Jen, and I am singlehandedly the most ambitious yet least motivated high schooler in probably all existence. It’s lovely to meet you!
More about me:
I’m Indian! Tamilian, to be exact. My culture is a huge part of my life, and I love the vibrancy that being Tamilian comes with. The music, the food, the beauty of the Tamil language... I’m lucky to have inherited it :)
I’m surrently (as of 2020) a high school junior. I’d like to be a doctor of neurology some day! Neuroscience is my absolute true love, and right now my dream school is Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
People like to tell me things. Whether it be problems, little happenings throughout the day, happy feelings... maybe I just have one of those faces
I love to readddddd people think I’m crazy sometimes, but reading is so important to me. It’s such a big part of who I am.
My favorite color is grey. It’s boring, I know. But grey is where it’s at for me.
I’m excited to share my journey with you all! If you’ve made it this far, reblog and I’ll give you a follow :) I need more active studyblrs on my dash, yk?

just because you might be slower to learn things or it’s harder for you to understand things does not mean you’re stupid and it does not mean you’ll never be able to get it. Sometimes it just means you’re going about it wrong, maybe you can’t learn like the rest of your class from a textbook, maybe you need someone reading it to you for you to be able to understand. Or maybe it just takes more practice. Whatever you do, don’t give up, you will get there. I believe in you, granted it might take a little longer, but it’s so worth it. Don’t give up, you’ve got this.
if there’s something I don’t like about education systems is the fact that you’re supposed to memorize concepts, learn definitions in order to pass a course/subject and sometimes that’s unfair to some people. And then what??? I mean, what are you going to do with those concepts after you passed the course?
Don’t get me wrong, i love leaning new things and of course theory is important but... is it really worth it to memorize things only to pass? I think meaningful learning is more important and efficient.
I don’t have the effort to put any actual content out today so...
Ask Game?

—:—
1. Sitting outside on the porch while it’s raining, with a nice thick book, a cup of tea, a fuzzy blanket, listening to music
2. Orbiting Jupiter? I don’t know? You’d think I’d pick an easier question…
3. Councillor Bronte, Lady Lesso, Scythe Curie (not in order)
4. There’s this really nice Italian coffee shop down the road from my house, and I get their homemade pizza with a latte and a homemade brownie for a treat :)
5. I’ve always wanted to go to Northern Canada, like the territories (the territories are Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut)
@serendistudy ohmygosh vee tysm for tagging mee!! and yess a monster calls is rly beautiful!!
1. Reading or watching yt in bed with a mug of black tea ❤️
2. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
3. Jack Will from Wonder, Jem Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird, and Jo March from Little Women (for some reason I have a thing for names starting with J:p)
4. Ahh..warm tea with fudgy chocolate brownies or fried rice at night when everyone’s already asleep…
5. Riding while bringing a picnic basket with me, we find a lush, beautiful field, I unmount and tie my horse who’s munching on the grass already. I bring down my basket and open my book, my notebook and pen on my side, rolling hills before me, and the sound of the blue, wide lake in the middle of the two biggest hills makes it feel more real..yes, I’m imagining Trabzon, pls just let me.
Thank youuu so much @a-poeticallychaotic-bee for tagging me, I miss you so much bb! 🥺🤍
1. Coffee + Drawing/memes + music+ alone in a room with cool temperature 🤍☺️
2. I’m not really much of reader (also me: read a lot of fanfiction and journal paper. But of course either of those are like not enticing and recommend-able, I think? 😂🤍) but I guess I could say that my favorite book would be Riddle in Stones by Ree Soesbee because that’s the first book that I’ve read and it made me hook up to reading :)
3. Jake Peralta from b99, Ice Bear from we bare bears, Kipo! (Hon. Mention Bow from Shera.. I’m so bad at rules)
4. I would say rice and meat but if we’re talking about comfort foood I’d say spicy noodles and ice cream. DEFINITELY BAD COMBO THO
Thank you so much @studying-engineering for the tag!! 🥰
1. cycling across the fields around Cambridge with a friend, bonus comfort if it’s at sunset and it’s windy but I’m warm!
2. favourite book is so hard!! I loved Donna Tartt’s The Secret History (but I think that’s a bit cliché here haha) so maybe Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar?
3. top 3 hmmmm… Ginny Weasley, Aeris Gainsborough, Elle Woods? not in any order
4. my housemate makes an incredible vegan sticky toffee pudding 😍
5. I’ve always wanted to go interrailing - I was hoping to work a little after I finish my Master’s, but corona is coming for my plans 😭 hopefully one day!
I tag @nadjastudies @myhoneststudyblr and @patriotstudies (no pressure of course!) and anyone else who sees this and wants to do it! ✨✨
I’m late! Like always!! But thank you much for tagging me @melody-studyblr!!
1. comfort activity
I’ve never told anyone this but i’ve actually been sketching a graphic novel in a spare sketchbook i found. It’s all rough storyboarding but I love seeing a story come to life through pictures and listening to music
2. favorite book
The Name of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. A close second is The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
3. top three characters
Hermione Granger (harry potter but that was probably obvious)
Hyun (Sweet Home - it’s a webtoon) his character development is UNPARALLELED
Both Lorelais (Gilmore Girls) it counts as one if they both have the same name, right?
4. favorite meal
uhhhhh this is a tough one but probably kothu paratta (which will make probably zero sense to you if you aren’t indian)
5. one thing i’ve always wanted to do
i want to climb a mountain! I’m planning to hike Mount Diablo on the west coast when I graduate high school.
tagging everyone who sees this! But more specifically, @jenn--studies @ambitiousandcaffeinated

25 Oct 20 🌿 today’s study situation: trying desperately to prove np-completeness for algo (aka introduction to analysis of algorithms) which is definitely my toughest class this semester but I’m doing my best! how are y’all doing?
As opposed to that quote about “the horrifying ordeal of being known,” do y’all ever feel so positively UNKNOWN and UNSEEN that it frightens you? Like there’s a self that you feel on the inside, and you believe to be “you,” but it seems like nobody else sees that version of you? And they’re interacting with someone that isn’t you but a projection of their experience of you? What’s more, perhaps nobody will ever know your true essence and you will die without ever being fully realized????? I’m only two beers in honestly

Blurry photos cause I've had some some blurry days 🙈😅
My friend once randomly said "we'll all do great things, or atleast happy things" and I guess that kinda put into perspective what is really important. So I wrote it down - I wrote it down, hoping I'd always remember it.
🌤 Studyblr Community Challenge:
Day 8 - what's the best thing about studyblr?
The best thing is probably how everyone brings their own share of ideas, motivation, guidance to this community. I think that's pretty cool :)
