The Worst Pre Med Advice I Received…And What To Do Instead
I received lots of advice from lots of different people before applying to med school. Some of it was good, some of it was not. These two pieces of advice are the worst pre med advice I received. They are the things that looking back I wished I had just completely ignored. Don’t Worry about Volunteering in a Clinical Environment This was the first piece of bad advice I received. It was actually from a med student, that was talking to a group of high school students that were interested in going into healthcare.

Visiting York at Christmas
Christmas in York is Magical. York to begin with is a magical city in my opinion but experiencing it for the first time at Christmas was something else.

The Best Spicy Pasta with Spinach and Mushrooms
This spicy pasta has a creamy tomato based sauce. The chilli flakes give a nice heat that you can adjust to your preferred spice level. Pasta is one of my favourite things to make as a uni student.

Making your own sauce means you can control how much you make, and trust me its a lot easier than you think! This pasta originally started as just a spicy…

Potato Soup with Cheddar and Bacon Bits
Growing up my mom often made soup from scratch. When I moved away for uni I wanted recipes that were easy to make and didn’t take too long.

It’s something nice to keep me warm on the rainy English days. RELATED: Easy Mac n Cheese
