Some of the things that helped me through difficult seasons weren’t big breakthroughs.

They were small rituals.

Opening the blinds.
 Making coffee.
 Putting on jewelry.
 Getting ready for the day.

Not because I needed to look a certain way.

Because those moments helped me feel like myself again.

This week’s blog is all about the quiet ways we care for ourselves when life feels heavy.

death work isn’t just science.

Reintroducing myself…🤍

I am Mackenzie, a second-year medical student with a love for pathology and an eye for the details most people overlook.

Focused. Intentional. Building something that is entirely my own.

This chapter feels different; more aligned, more refined, and just the beginning.

Future forensic pathologist…and I am only getting started. ✨

Forensic Friday 🔬

One of the biggest misconceptions about forensic pathology is that it is just like what you see on TV.

In reality, it is a medical specialty focused on understanding the cause and manner of death, and helping provide answers and closure to the families.

It is one of the many reasons I am drawn to this field.

The way you speak to yourself during exam season matters more than you think.

This is something I’ve been reminding myself lately when things feel overwhelming.

Progress doesn’t require perfection. 💗

One thing I’ve had to learn during exam season is that rest is not something you “earn”.

Taking intentional breaks actually helps me stay focused and manage anxiety better.

It’s not time away from studying, it’s part of it.

The campus shuttles help so much…but sometimes you need some help from taxis or Haylups!!
