Here’s the embroidery I was doing the other day - there’s 6 different types of stitching in this design! This one didn’t take long to complete though, I only spent a few hours on it! I enjoyed doing the flowers, I might try a few more, but I also want to do bits on actual items rather than just pieces of fabric. 🧵

Last year I created this personal statement planner designed to help students applying for Medicine to write their personal statement in a step-by-step planner. Lots of students used the planner for the last application cycle and I received lots of really positive feedback for it. The planner takes you through 10 stages and is filled with lots of little tips and tricks throughout to help you write a personal statement containing all the key things for a strong medicine application. I also did tonnes of personal statement reviews last year, which I will be opening again soon. In the meanwhile I’d really recommend using the planner so you can build a strong structure and avoid lots of the common mistakes people make in their personal statement. You can follow the link in my bio or use the swipe up link in my story to get your copy!

I like my desktop to be quite clear and as empty as possible so I’ve been looking around for something to organise anything I’m currently working on. I settled on this simple gold wire letter rack and it’s perfect. 🥰 I like it because it doesn’t take much space at all and you can easily tidy up any loose bits of paper. I was initially debating on whether I should go for gold or rose gold accessories on my desk, but now I’ve settled for gold because I like the way it reflects against the gloss white of the desk. I’ve still ordered myself a rose gold rack so I can make sure I’ve picked the right colour. The other rack I’ll put inside one of my drawers and use it organise my notebooks. 📚

I’m not doing much this summer, don’t have any plans at all we’ll see how the 2 months ahead decide to pan out. In the meantime all my posts are going to continue to be a bit random. I’d love to hear about any summer plans you all may have...

How cute are these pencils? I can never go in to @lovewilko without buying some form of stationery. I actually use pencils a lot and prefer using them over pen so this time it was justified. What was the last piece of stationery you purchased?

Spent the last couple of days feeling the dissatisfaction you do when you go shopping but end up buying nothing... 😐 The thing about me is that I’m super fussy, especially when I can a picture of what I want and want to find that exact item. That’s probably why I shop online a lot, but then I have the problem of things arriving and not being exactly as they look in the photos right down to the exact shade. Do you prefer online or offline shopping?

Bought myself these cute little desk succulents, just need to re-pot them now 🌿 I want to get a few more plants for my room because I feel as though it really freshens up the atmosphere. I’ve got a vision of nice luscious leafy one but I just need to find one that matches the one I have in my mind. Do you have any plants in your room?

My room is now all white and it already looks so much bigger and brighter. This being the first time I painted a wall I’m pretty proud that I was able to paint the whole room all myself. It took 3 coats to get rid of the blue and I have to admit it was a lot more tiring than I thought it would be, plus I’ve now got 5 blisters across my hands 😂 Has anyone tried painting a room before? It’s shocking how minimal white makes a room look (in a good way though), I feel like I need to keep it a little messy to give it character 😅 But don’t worry I’ll be buying lots of new decor to do that for me!

Today was the dreaded results day, but Alhamdulillah all went well and I couldn’t be more grateful. Now I can start thinking about and start getting excited for THIRD year properly 😱 Anyways, as mind blowing as it is, one of the things we need for third year is a stethoscope and I’ve meaning to share the one I was sent by @fricare_official some time ago. This stethoscope is a lot more affordable so it’s definitely worth considering, especially if you’re choosing your first stethoscope and aren’t sure what to go for. One of the other things I really like about is that it is very lightweight. The one pictured above is the standard “dual head stethoscope”, but they actually do another “lightweight stethoscope”, so I wonder how much lighter that one must be. There’s something a bit odd about this picture, I wonder if anyone can spot it - comment below if you notice it) 😅

Eid Mubarak to everyone - hope everyone is enjoying their day despite the weather being awful (as usual)! Here’s a little peek at the desk I spent all day assembling yesterday. I’m really liking how it looks in my room, but I’ve got loads left yet to have the whole room finished.

I know I’ve been quite AWOL on Instagram recently, for multiple reasons. After I came back from abroad, I became quite lazy and couldn’t be bothered to post anymore, then Ramadan started and then I had exams (which are thankfully over now). Still got the last 10 days of Ramadan left, so I probably wont be super active on here as rather than wasting the last third of month but would rather spend that time focusing on personal goals. So that’s pretty much why I’ve been absent. Now I’ve officially finished 2nd year of medical school (really hooping I’ve passed the exams - keep me in your duas). Next year we’re moving out of university and heading to our base hospitals and I’ll be living at home. I still need to move out of my university accommodation and I want to spend the summer redecorating my bedroom at home and moving a desk in there, so hopefully I can get all that done too. And if I do you’ll probably notice a change of scenery in my Instagram pictures as well.

So I’m back at home now after another 24 hrs of travelling; had a good sleep and now I’m unpacking today. Being used to an average temperature of 30-40 degrees I’m a little on the cold side now that I’m back home, but I’m so glad the weather’s nice and that it’s not raining and miserable here. I’ve just got a week left of my Easter holidays now and then it all gets a little busier with going back to uni, Ramadan starting and then exams following soon after. How is Easter going for everyone? Been productive at all? Been anywhere or done anything nice?

I’ve come home a day early to kickstart my Easter holidays so I can finish off my packing. I’m heading off on holiday to one of my favourite places tomorrow and I’m going to be there for 2 weeks, so that’s the majority of my Easter done. 🕋🥰 Anyone else got any holiday plans over the Easter break?

Just enjoying some greek-style yoghurt with berries and a cup of green tea with honey! 🍵 🍓 Comment below, what’s your favourite fruit?

For those of you that don’t already know, Flipd is an incredible app that helps keep you focussed . It got loads of cool features such as making your apps disappear, leaderboards to increase productivity etc. With exams coming up it’s going to be so handy to help you stop procrastinating. Just this month they have a huge discount on the premium version of the app and you can get 75% off by using the code LIFEOFAMEDIC75 (use the link in my bio)!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know I keep going on about this, but I think it’s so worth it. It normally costs $29.99 (£22) but you can get it for $7.50 (£5.70). This is the lowest the price has ever been and will probably ever be and you’ve only got 7 days to get it, so hurry!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #notes #studentlife #studynotes #studying #blogger #medlife #medicine #medstudent #medschool #medicalstudent #medblogger #flatlay #medschoollife #anatomy #organisation #motivation #studying #studyspo #studygram #studyblr #organised #student #medicine #medicalschool #inspiration #stationery #pens

So this week I’ve been busy working on my PEP, which for this year is a 5,000 word literature review. The topic I got was “Environmental Causes of Birth Defects”, but my tutor and I decided to fine tune that a little so I’m just focussing my report on Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate. Here’s me drawing some figures showing the embryological development of the palate (using my sister’s Apple Pencil) that I’m going to be adding to my report. ✍️

I’ve recently switched my morning tea to black coffee (not very strong though, mind you) and I’m pretty much obsessed - it’s suddenly become my go-to hot drink which is a bit weird since I hardly used to drink coffee before. What’s your go-to hot drink? ☕️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’m chairing this week’s PBL case on hepatitis. It seems like quite a long case with quite a lot of pharmacology. This case is also a little bit different because we have a couple of pharmacy students with us in our PBL session to get to help us out with pharmacology aspect. 💊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #planner #notes #studentlife #studynotes #studying #blogger #medlife #medicine #medstudent #medschool #medicalstudent #medblogger #flatlay #medschoollife #planningcommunity #organisation #motivation #studying #studyspo #studygram #studyblr #organised #student #medicine #medicalschool #inspiration #stationery #stethoscope #plannerlove

We had a Q&A session yesterday about starting 3rd year with a presentation of what it’s going to be like from current third year students. It seems so exciting, I’m definitely ready to finally get into more clinical learning! Just this one last semester to pull through...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #anatomy #notes #studentlife #studynotes #studying #blogger #medlife #medicine #medstudent #medschool #medicalstudent #medblogger #flatlay #medschoollife #medicalart #organisation #motivation #studying #studyspo #studygram #studyblr #organised #student #medicine #medicalschool #inspiration #stationery #pens #life

The weather has suddenly become so warm (maybe even too warm). ☀️ Amidst the daily grind, insane workload and endless to to-do lists it’s so easy to caught up in your own little world. We get so bogged down with trying to make it to the end that we forget to enjoy the journey. It’s super important to stop and appreciate all those little things around you whilst you’re there. Let’s make a little thread of happiness. What is something you’re grateful for or something that makes you happy? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Speaking of gratitude, this gorgeous floral print is from @codexanatomicus so thank you to them for sending it over. It’s formed the perfect addition to the big blank wall in my study room. 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #anatomy #notes #studentlife #studynotes #studying #blogger #medlife #embroiderylove #medstudent #medschool #medicalstudent #medblogger #flatlay #medschoollife #medicalart #organisation #motivation #studying #studyspo #studygram #studyblr #organised #student #medicine #medicalschool #inspiration #qotd #happiness #life
