There have been many things going on in my life: I’m busy mentoring, starting a new club, applying for internships, participating in my other non-profit organizations, and just trying to keep up with school. It’s a lot!
So far, I’ve been standing in front of my mirror and labelling my own anatomy. It sounds a little unusual, but it worked for my first block theory test.
I will say it can be a little hard to stay motivated as a student. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’m feeling a little like I’m still on winter break!

Since making this connection between mistakes and growth, I have felt strongly motivated to identify areas of improvement for the new semester and to make changes accordingly.
Fellow first years, last semester might have been a rough one, but we made it and had at least some time to relax and recharge. Now we do it all over again—but this time a little different!
Since it’s now 2022 and a new year, I’ve asked and been asked about new year resolutions. For me, staying on top of my health and tasks and better prioritizing my time are key.
Now, as we begin our winter 2022 semester, I am looking forward to seeing what’s in store. Before writing this blog, I took some time to reflect on my previous semester to see where I could have improved.
