Beautiful people: Hi!! My goodness it's been a while!
SOME Life updates; I started college! My gpa is in the gutter (2.3). I have never failed at academics this hard before. Seriously, I am so burnt out and full of shame. But anyways, I am trying to get my life together and do better (I need to get that GPA up as one of my goals is med school in the future and you can't apply without a >3.7 gpa). It's not even that the material is hard, I just procrastinate all my work and don't turn things in. I can't cram the night before like I did in high school. My therapist (yes, I started going to therapy, it IS that serious folks!) said that this is actually common for unmedicated women with ADHD, where the study strategies they used in hs would let them procrastinate and they could still succeed, but that apparently does not fly in college with all these months-long research projects and large amounts of work. #themoreyouknow. Anyways, so I am gonna try to see if medication will help me, and I'll let yall know. I failed my driving test today, so I can't get my license. Anyways, I'm rewriting some of my old fics, as I feel like my writing is getting a bit better. I'm gonna start grinding out my chapters on a better schedule, as I feel like it will help keep me level and avoid burnout. Writing is something I genuinely enjoy, unlike college, so that's my reasoning as to why it might help w burnout idk?
The premed culture is so TOXIC and FUCKING COMPETITIVE AS FUCK, and I can't stop comparing myself to every single person around me like, what's her gpa, is she volunteering, I wonder what his mcat score was (I haven't even taken the MCAT yet, I'm a first year), I wonder if he's doing research, how many clinical hours do they have, I FUCKING HATE THIS. Everyone is trying to get your stats to compare themselves to you too, and its so obvious, like "RK, what's your GPA right now?" I'm not going to tell you that? That's private? Don't ask someone that tf??
Anyways, enjoy new ch!
