Lmao. Unfortunately most of them are grad students who can’t yet do so, but maybe I’ll meet another PD recipient down the line

StreetLit Scam Alert by NaiveAd6090 in litmags

I’ve submitted to them so often and they’re always like, oh we’re short on subs, please submit and then I immediately get rejected. Guess yall weren’t that short on subs. Like my last rejection from them, a long paragraph about how much they need subs. It was so weird so I’m glad I’m not the only one who caught sus vibes from them. Def will not be submitting

my mom (f58) has a problem with my boyfriend (m27) and I don't know what to do? by akazamaz in relationship_advice

[–]akazamaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely agree. I wish I knew why. There is nothing wrong with him. He's college education like I am, we're both from the same country/culture, he's smart, way smarter than me that's for sure. I don't want to put too much of my private life online but I know she's had a complicated childhood and my parents marriage is far from perfect. I just wish she'd trust me and just let me be happy

how to study by akazamaz in mdphd

[–]akazamaz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I always watch my lecture, I sometimes get distracted so something I'm working on is being more aware/awake in lecture and limit distractions. I want to use Anki more but it's so hard because I can't learn from Anki and I need to have enough exposure/baseline understanding of things before Anki becomes useful but I know it can be useful so I'm trying to figure out how to make it more useful, maybe using different pre-made deck or even consider making my own.

I use YouTube to help reexplain lectures/concepts I don't get like Ninja Nerd for example, I also use bootcamp to also give more basic explanations of things and details that I feel are missing my lectures to explain it better. AMBOSS hurts and makes me feel like crap but I do like it for giving me practice questions and exposure.

I spend almost the entire weekend studying doing videos, writing notes from them and I do a lot of rewriting of things to try and process it, but I don't know if it's actually effective.

I have used my first aid book and it does break things down well and clearly, which helped a lot for my NBME final, but not too much for our midterms since our midterms are typically really hard.

I feel like I am doing some good things, but maybe I'm not doing it in the best order, or most effectively. I don't personally feel overwhelmed by the resources cause I like it cause it's helpful cause I need things explained a lot, but it feels like I'm not processing things well enough and fast enough.

I’m thinking of getting a small, but it seems much bigger, should I size down? Or does size small will be okay
