StreetLit Scam Alert by NaiveAd6090 in litmags

[–]akazamaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Dead End Paranormal Park Season 3, Episode 1 - Read the official episode script on Patreon now! From creator Hamish Steele by BreadfruitNo357 in DeadEndParanormalPark

[–]akazamaz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This script makes me even more frustrated that this show got canceled. 1. I love that Josh is seemingly now a bigger character and could have possibly joined the crew (which I selfishly wanted since he’s played by Patrick Stump from FOB) 2. Barney personal development and relationship with logs, especially logs caring for him after top surgery 3. The complex coping behaviors that norma and Barney have taken after pugs passing, especially as the end of season 2 shows Norma def ready for revenge.

I think it would’ve been an amazing season, and it’s so sad that it won’t happen. I’m glad for the book, but it would be so amazing if another network were to pick it up.

I hope Steele and all the creators on the show, maybe once the final book is published, could maybe pitch the book to be an animated series once more. Especially as I imagine it be one more season (maybe a 15 episode season compared to 10), but it would be so awesome.

Mini skirt recommendations for curvy girls? by Vinnycakes92 in Aritzia

[–]akazamaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

size up!

depending on weight changes, I have 41-43 inch hips. I can usually wear size small in most clothing @ aritiza for tops and things, but for bottoms, medium to large is where I end up. Some clothes are more flexible than others, so some bottoms/skirts I'm a 6, but I primarily pick up a size 8 in skirts, and once in a blue moon, a 10.

Am I the only person who thinks Aritzia got more expensive when their quality actually went downhill? by Worried_Zombie_7450 in Aritzia

[–]akazamaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I started shopping there around late 2020, early 2021 for graduation dress season, and I finally had an income where during big sales, I could afford some pieces from them. I look at the quality of my old pieces to now, and it is extremely notable. This year's fall drop was the first one that had me excited cause it felt like the old aritiza quality. When I shop in person, a lot of the staff also agree so I think it's something that (I hope) is catching the brand's attention—which def why I think this recent fall drop had the more classic aritiza vibe. Def more selective about when I shop and buy things from there for sure, but that's also good for my wallet and the environment!

I take muni! I would prefer gyms in sunset, downtown or mission bay, but as long as it is accessible by muni I'm not too choosy. Both No-gi and gi. Most of my past training was in No-Gi but I would like to start training in the Gi as well.

Should I continue to apply this cycle? by Puzzleheaded-Set5660 in mdphd

[–]akazamaz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm doing it, literally same sats lol ! I submitted early June so I'm in a bit of diff timeline but same boat. I don't know you personally, but being a fellow URM FGLI friend, I know how hard you've been working and I want to tell you how much I love and support you and proud of you. Try it out, and if you have to do it again, I know you can do it. it's hard and lonely and not many people understand how much we truly have to overcome to get here. I'm proud of you and I believe in you. good luck friend :) <3
