When preparing/studying for an exam, I have a routine that I typically follow. I

So far in college I’ve completed the following Science courses: C&G, D&E, and General Chemistry I; I’m currently taking Cell and General Chemistry II. Among the many goals I have set for myself, the major ones include doing exceptionally well in my core classes, doing as well as I can on the MCAT, getting accepted into at least one of my top choices of medical schools, and becoming the doctor I’ve wanted to be since I was 16. Some “interesting” facts about me include 1.) I owned 10 chinchillas at one point- I wanted a puppy and somehow got chinchillas, 2.) I eat candy by color/flavor, starting with the ones I like the least, and 3.) I am a huge movie buff, so much so I have a tattoo on my arm in homage to my all-time favorite
