people say biology isn't a real science in high school but funnily enough, it's high key important in med (and the content is the same, just much more in depth)

Thanks for all the suggestions!

you can go to oweek to sort out your id card but the line is pretty long

You could always go consult with your university careers office. They can suggest internships that are right for you.

Going into senior years in high school meant a lot more note taking so I just ended up putting everything on my laptop (and making sure to back up). I would arrange my notes on a word document by topics so when i printed out notes to study for exams, it was a lot more easier and faster. If you...

don't feel too trapped with your choices right now. If your school happens to hold career events, you can get inspiration from that or you could attend career expos/ uni open days later in the year. Even if you can't make up your mind during course selections, always remember that you can...

First year uni student here! Obviously i have no idea how classes work and such so I'm not too sure about effective study methods and such. Also what are good ways to get ahead in class? High school was so much more straightforward :uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:

I watch live study streams of korean students who study for 10+ hours a day. It works for them but honestly, i don't suggest it. If you are doing efficient study and are absorbing materials correctly then anything under 5 hours would suffice.

Chem/ Bio/ Phys- if you can get your hands on really well made notes by a top performing student, that would be good but if you can't, make sure you make really good notes yourself. Don't let your notes become too long, you need concise notes that are relevant. Bio is pretty much just memorising...
