    Taking notes in a sketchbook changed my life 🙌🏽 My printer paper would somehow end up damaged or out of order by the time I was done studying

      I like using Rhodia pads. They make blank pages and also dot pages (which I recently switched to). Really good quality paper.

    "Believe and you will achieve", I'll live by this motto everyday until I will reach my career goal to become a plastic surgeon. Your videos give me so much inspiration to get into med school but I still have to get through college first, LOVE your videos.

  • @DosesofDee2
    @DosesofDee2 7 ปีที่แล้ว +276

    You give me so much life. Your vlogs constantly motivate me by reassuring that I CAN get into med school regardless of my age or my race and I can survive #BlackGirlMagic at its finest. Keep being you ✨

    I would prefer you giving some tips and advice in videos separate from your vlogs just because it makes it easier to reference and I can re-watch it without having to scroll through a vlog video. Great work though, love your videos.

  • @lialo2636
    @lialo2636 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I just love your videos! and the fact that I did that same drawing for a biology class is so awesome! Many people say I'm crazy for drawing and rewriting my notes. Most people just listen to the lectures and don't take notes. I can't I have to be writing stuff down and have pre-written notes to ask questions and stuff! This makes me want to take Biology again!!

    I am currently at a health disparities internship program, and today at my organization I learned that implicit biases could affect the race/ethnicity of people referred to community care teams from EDs. Also, I enjoy your vlogs! I like that you are speaking more about what you learn in addition to filming the lectures

    Hey, I love you so much. I’m only in high school but I graduate this year. And you really keep me motivated to keep push and studying and getting A’s and working out . I’m trying to lose 30lbs by my birthday and I literally watch your videos while I workout and studying because you say things that I honestly relate too. And I just love you and want to congratulate you on your journey of UF Medical.

I'm basically surrounded by college seeing that I live in a college town, some of my swim club teammates are college students, and my dad is a professor. I'm so excited for college though! I think I want to be a med student

    • @thebrittnyway
      @thebrittnyway  7 ปีที่แล้ว +17

  • @Kesenkus
    @Kesenkus 7 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    I really enjoy your videos! Any "pre-official youtube video" advice for taking the MCAT? Also, about roughly what time do you wake up and head to the gym? Do you do this still if you have a late night of studying? I'm trying to develop a better routine, and I would like to shift my workouts to the early morning in order to maximize my efficiency throughout the rest of the day. Any advice would be much appreciated!!

    • @thebrittnyway
      @thebrittnyway  7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Hey Katelyn! Thanks for watching and for subscribing to my channel. I like to workout in the mornings because less can get in the way in the morning and it starts my day on the right foot. My unofficial advice for MCAT studying would be to:
      1. Start early
      2. Establish a routine & plan out your study sessions
      3. Do lot's of practice questions
      4. Thoroughly analyze the questions you get wrong
      5. Take practice exams to assess progress (simulate actual testing conditions)
      6. Find resources that work for your learning style
      7. Stay positive!
      I hope this helps. Make sure to check back for the official video on preparing for the MCAT!!

I have my 3rd physio exam tomorrow. And ha the histology stuff. We had that on our first anatomy exam.. so i remember making like quicker stuff for all that. Also that thing about biases. We have to take a cultural competency class and we are taking that now and it talks about that. We watch videos and talk about different things.
