3 Signs You Might Suit a Problem-Based Learning Course

It is definitely difficult to decide whether PBL is the way that you’d like to learn for the next five years as it’s so different to the classroom-based teaching we’ve all experienced from the day we started school. It’d also hard to fully appreciate the realities of PBL unless you’ve actually tried it. Now that…

Why Medicine? - in 10 words
Love how the weather is brightening up a little, making me think back to last March (which I can’t believe it’s nearly been a year since 😱). Feeling tempted to do some baking again - maybe I will! Anyone got any recipe ideas? What was the last thing you baked? 🍰
Not me unboxing my LOOKFANTASTIC parcel during my zoom class. I was too excited 😆 I got these all using the Student Beans discount so I thought I’d make the most of the deals and stock up on some fun skincare masks - they’re running a 20% off all products until the 21st of February via Student Beans (I’ll link where you can sign up for it on my story). 🧖‍♀️ You can see me having lots of self-care days coming up with all these! #AD
The new semester is starting for us this week which means new modules! This semester I’ve got 4 modules: Genetic Ethics, Global Health, Society & Law and Mental Health Law which all seem as though they’ll be really interesting! Not looking forward to the 4 essays that’ll be awaiting me at the end though 😪
I’ve not really been feeling this account lately and I can’t get myself to post when I’m not in the mood. It’s a cyclical thing, losing my motivation for Instagram, I’m sure others on here can relate 😅
So here it is! 🌸 The new re-brand for my eco-friendly stationery shop: ItsPaperDaisy.
Some little big news.
A photo from March that never made it to the feed. 🙈 As soon as lockdown was announced and uni was cancelled I made a long list of things I wanted to do over what we then thought was just going to be a long Summer holiday. Looking through the list now, I did a handful of them: like read a number of the books I listed, embroider a bunch of totes; but there’s a lot I didn’t do. I think I spent the majority of my time sleeping late and waking late and then feeling more tired from ruining my sleeping pattern 😅
Was sent this @dreamlanduk heated throw a couple of months ago and I’ve been obsessed with it since, been using it so much recently. 🥰 It’s so cozy, perfect for working under over this winter period, even though it does often result in me falling asleep on what I’m doing, but comfort wins 😅 it heats up so quickly as well, literally love it. #gifted #bewarm #toastythrows #bringbacktheblankie
