In this Vlogmas Day 11 day-in-the-life, I’m balancing Internal Medicine shelf retake prep with actually taking care of myself (because burnout is not cute). I walk you through how I’m studying, starting with NBME Form 7 to see where I’m at, then going back through the weak spots with First Aid for Step 2 CK. I also keep AnKing in the mix so I’m staying consistent day-to-day, even when holiday life is trying to throw me off. But it’s not just a study vlog—I’m also doing a mini reset because I need my life to feel put together to study well. I squeeze in a glutes workout, open a few Christmas packages, and finally take out my braids, which honestly felt like the reset I’ve been needing. If you’re prepping for shelf exams or Step 2 during the holidays, this is your reminder that you’re not alone—and you can lock in without abandoning your routines.
