Summer after graduation

Slacking = No bueno

August 15, 2013June 28, 2014 / Derin | www.AdejareSmith.com / Leave a comment

So the past few days I've been in a rut. Basically loosing my steam with MCAT studying and being very distracted with little things. Maybe it's the combination of trying to sort out apartment and moving details and just being nervous as a whole about this whole new chapter, but ahhhhh I need to get … Continue reading Slacking = No bueno

Moving on up!

August 3, 2013 / Derin | www.AdejareSmith.com / Leave a comment

  Searching for an apartment is both an exciting and draining experience. Sifting through craigslist posts, browsing through websites, sending emails, making several phone calls, yes, it's pretty much a time consuming experience. But when you finally find the "perfect" place, it's like yes, VICTORY! And that's exactly how I felt yesterday. After looking through … Continue reading Moving on up!

I just realized I've been doing this all wrong. My approach towards the MCAT has been ALL wrong. Let me explain. So most of the people I know have taken the exam twice, actually everyone I personally know, has taken the exam twice, except for two people. So my drive towards this whole period of studying … Continue reading Fear vs Confidence

Walking on water…it’s possible!

So I am very big on walking by faith and not by sight. What does that mean? It means even though I can't see something happening, or a situation is bleak, I trust God that HE will do it. I have so many personal examples of how God really HAS been faithful, and how walking … Continue reading Walking on water…it’s possible!

Conquering things…like a BOSS

"It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. You will need to make healthy decisions. It requires sacrifice. You will need to push your body to its max. There will be temptation. But I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT" -- random fitness quote … Continue reading Conquering things…like a BOSS
