100 Days of Productivity

1/100

I understand I’ve heavily neglected this account but I can’t bring myself to restart it so I’ll just accept my mistakes and move on :)

Currently on the train to Edinburgh and some lady is watching TikToks loudly beside me 😔

Saw two black cats earlier so counting that as double good luck (anyone that thinks they’re bad luck can GET OFF my blog)

8/100 days of productivity

Enjoying the quiet campus before the semester starts 📚

Final stretch for GAMSAT and UCAT though <3

7/100 days of productivity

OH MY GOD LETS JUST PRETEND THIS IS THE TOMORROW I MEANT IN MY LAST POST

Promise I have genuinely been productive though.

Just finished my GAMSAT Section 2 Exam! I think it went okay as the prompts and themes were quite straightforward. The proctor was nice despite the nightmares and horror stories I’ve seen about on Reddit.

Taking a day of rest and watching Mockingjay Part 2 :)

I feel like we say “starting tomorrow” a lot but in my defence there’s not much I can do sitting in an airport with my motivation high 🫡

6/100 days of productivity

I swear I’ve been productive even though I haven’t been posting - doing a lot of closes at work this week and have crashing immediately after.

Been doing a lot of UCAT and GAMSAT prep - it’s getting too real acc take the tf out.

Visited a fruit farm today 🍓

5/100 days of productivity

Started using an app called “Finch” which has helped me do my day-to-day tasks (not sponsored - not that famous yet)

Emailed GPs and the local hospital or some shadowing experience on top of my ward volunteering - god knows if they’ll even reply.

Didn’t do too well on my UCAT mock but u have time to improve :)

I’ve neglected GAMSAT S3 a bit so that’s tomorrow’s job.

Played some Mario Kart on my new TV (£35 in the charity shop and it’s not too bad???)

Went on a walk to the park for a small picnic and now I’m settling down to read.

See you all tomorrow!

4/100 days of productivity

Sent the proposal to my supervisor - actively avoiding my emails because I’m afraid of it being terrible.

My GAMSAT prep is just turning into a GAMSAT- induced panic session. I did not spend £292 just to do badly so I really need to glue myself to the desk.

3/100 days of productivity

Trying to get back into reading and finished my first protocol draft 🎉

2/100 days of productivity

In the meantime, enjoy a picture of this pretty cat I met in Greece.

1/100 days of productivity

11/07/2025

I technically did wake up early - I just fell asleep immediately after. Going to look at some morning routine ideas and see what fits me.

Donated blood today! A bit tired after but no sign of bruising which is a blessing.

I finally drafted a proposal for my honours project to send to my supervisor - I'm almost regretting agreeing to plan this experiment on my own but I am really enjoying my research on APOE isoforms.

I got really tired onwards so no GAMSAT/UCAT today - think the donation took it out of me 😔.

Also look at this maybe a seagull.

Hi! I made this account to try keep myself accountable as I’m really struggling with procrastination. If you couldn’t tell by my handle, I cannot maintain an aesthetic. Forget about light or dark academia vibes - it’ll be dim academia from here.

I’m currently studying for both the GAMSAT and UCAT (help). I also have my fourth year honours project to plan 🥲.

I’m considering starting the “100 days of productivity” I see absolutely everywhere.
