How I Balance Life & Studying for the MCAT! | Post Grad Pre Med | Becoming Dr. Brelynn

Hey guh 🩷 you got this!

I'm seated and readyyyy 🤎 yay!

I’m pro studying from home! But I only study in a particular place/desk. Literally will move to another spot to send emails etc. If I have an unproductive day then the next day I’ll leave the house to reset

Love the comfy camel color loungewear

Happy Sunday ❤

I love the idea of working from home but since your apartment has the amenities that you’re essentially paying to utilize, do your best to make the most of them. Also, it cuts down on transportation and transitioning from one location to another.

In order to be productive, I need to step out of my comfort zone. When working remotely, I designate a specific area in my home to work, and I stay in that space from the moment I start my day until I finish. I take my lunch in that space as well, just as I would in an office setting, which helps me stay focused and productive. However, if I try to study or work in a space that is too comfortable, I often find myself being unproductive, as I end up getting nothing done. I’m an army brat so yes, it is true. We do more before 9 o’clock and most people do all day. I’m my most productive early in the morning around one or two. I’m moving to the point knowing that the end is near. That gives me satisfaction to know I worked hard through the morning hours and now I’ve had lunch and now it’s to the end of the day we come.

Okay so constantly taking time to figure out your study location can very easily become a procrastination tactic :) (which I do all the time when I’m actively trying to avoid studying). Try to plan out exactly where you’ll be during your days during your Sunday reset. If you need a change in location every 4 hours, plan for that and know exactly where you’ll be so you don’t eat up your time with figuring things out and experience decision fatigue.

List out all your study locations and mix it up week to week. But always make sure that they’re not the same places for pleasure (i.e., the kitchen, the living room, the glam room).

I've never had a hot matcha lol. I'm nervous.

would love to see the recipe for the breakfast mash and your meal preps!!

Brelynn, do you do any sort of active recall with your studying? I find it works way better than writing notes especially for bad test takers. Get a huge whiteboard for your apartment and use that.

I have the same devotional!!! Absolutely love it! 🤩🙏

I never liked Meredith 😅. But the show 🔥

Tired & it’s only week 2 is so real

Listen… nobody likes Maredith… NOBODY watched to watch her. It’s ALL the other characters we loved. Actually ANY other character was more interesting. And yes, she unfortunately stayed the main character throughout. I do believe the theme song gets better. I think. But, I skipped it every time so 🤷🏾‍♀️

I think you should utilize the amenities you have in your apartment. For onyx storm I rated it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Like the series is amazing and I don’t usually read fantasy.

Keep going BB!

Keep going BB! 🥼💖🙏🕊

your valentine’s day nails are so cuteeee 😍😍

I believe there's a medical text book called Grey's Anatomy

i just wanna say , i started watchin you in elementary school, maybe around 3rd grade and your videos made me so excited and inspired to go to college. i am now 18, i graduate this may and i wanted to thank you for the inspiration. i am majoring in biology so that i can go on to dental school and residency to become an orthodontist 💗

Greys anatomy is going to send you through the emotions 😭 be ready lol. I normally rewatch the first 10 seasons every year.
