So, things are going pretty well, but pretty slow. Still trying to get myself together to study as hard as I did once!

Yes, I do speak both languages. DM me if you still need help!

So this is some kind of announcement that I'm going to be back. Hope I'm gonna stay on track!

So, today will the first day of my #20daysofproductivitychallenge and I hope I will keep you updated on a daily basis.

What are your New Year's resolutions? (I haven't made any special resolution - just to finish this year with the best grades I can get.)

I will start with this because med schools/universities are different all around the world - I am from Romania. I applied to dentistry in Iași in autumn (normally, exams are in late July, but there were 24 places left free), because I didn’t pass the exam for general medicine in Cluj.Today I took my exam for general medicine in Iași too for some reasons: my boyfriend studies here too, I got used to the university (both dentistry and general medicine belong to the same university - University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Gr. T. Popa” Iași).I never wanted to pursue a career in dentistry, but I thought that I would eventually like it if I get “face to face” with the environment - unfortunately it wasn’t like that. I wanted to be on-call like other students from the first year from general medicine were, I wanted to get into a hospital and I didn’t want to learn about teeth and stomatognathic system.Was my first year of dentistry hard? It was - for some reasons:• I didn’t feel good with the people I was living with - I lived with another 3 girls in a dorm, without a bath in our room. We argued about cleaning schedule, about the sleeping hour (I always stayed late because I had to study more and they were at another college and didn’t have that much to study). I would have cried every weekend and I got thin real quick and in an unhealthy way. However, that problem solved when I moved to another dorm.• The passing from high school to university is pretty rough. Every other student is there for them and only them. Friendships form and break every week and it took me some time to find the right people to trust, to study and so on. The teachers are tougher - if you study, you pass. But because of the amount of materia you had, I had to study a lot harder so I can pass - I did not leave my social life beside for doing this. I tried to balance them in some way or another and, even though the balance was always swinging, I managed to pass all of my exams.What actually matters is to enjoy what are you doing, because I did not. I learned so hard the dentistry part (first 2 years at dentistry are mostly general medicine courses with very few dentistry courses) and I enjoyed so much the general medicine part that it made me realise I am not made for dentistry - I just didn’t belong there, it wasn’t a place that suited me.It was a hard year for me because I was preparing for my exam as well, but it wasn’t that hard. If you study constantly and DO NOT PROCASTINATE you won’t think it’s hard, maybe just a little tougher than highschool. Hope that answers your question! If you have any other one, feel free to message me! (I’m actually so excited that one follower actually messaged mee yayyy)

I'm nervous af and I don't know if I'm ready ot not. I have so many feelings about that day and all I can think about is that I cannot to bad again, I need to pass! I want to pass! How do you manage your emotions, your nervousity, your anxiety about exams?

• 17.07.2018 • Yes, I know there's different dates on the photos, but, as I said in a previous post, I am so pressed and so stressed and I just don't have time! - not yelling, just overpanicking. And yes, I do love ice cream - is the only dessert that I can eat in the summer without getting too fat. I had a break on the train though, break I spent reading and looking at the landscape.

• 10.08.2018 •> I didn't have time to take photos of any of the things I worked on these days cause I am a package full of stress that can start either crying or yelling or panicking in any given moment, but I searched through my phone and found these - they were taken when I went to take my bestfriends from the train station (they've arrived home form Cluj) and we stopped and chilled with a beer and a view (mine didn't have alcohol because I was driving).

• 06.07.2018 • So, here's a compilation of photos I had (but didn't post because of the lack of time) with my biochemistry notes - from when I used to study for the exam - and that awesome bottle with that cute message. If you look at the mug you can see a reflection of my notes is there.
