Did I quit med school? | How I'm spending my days living alone in Rome 🇮🇹 LIFE UPDATE

[Music] foreign [Music]

Good morning everyone! Today is another day, and I'm going to take you guys along with what I do in the day because a lot of you guys have been asking: "Don't you have med school? What are you doing today? What are you doing with your life? Did you quit?" That's cool! No, I didn't quit med school. I'm gonna explain it later in the video what I'm doing and why I'm not going to my uni right now. But first, let me have breakfast.

While having my breakfast, I'm gonna call my mom to update her about a couple of things. With my mom, I talk multiple times in a day about any minor thing. I just want to update my mom; I just want to talk to her because she's my best friend. So, let's call her.

We're now outside. I'm gonna read some books and take notes on my MacBook. I'm currently creating a Skillshare class. If you don't know, I've been working on it, and I'm writing the script of my Skillshare path. It's going to be about learning languages, but this time, since it's a Skillshare class, I want to make it deeper and with more valuable information. So right now, I'm reading a lot of research papers about learning languages, like the process of it, you know, brain development, and all that stuff. I'm going to read that book from my MacBook.

And also, if you guys are wondering why I'm not going to med school at the moment, first of all, for those who didn't know, I was attending a Turkish med school, and then I quit my Turkish med school. I took an exam for a private med school in Italy, and then I got in. I changed my med school, and the reason why I couldn't go to a public med school in Italy is that I basically missed the exam date.

So, the only option I had at that time was to take a private uni med school exam and get into a private uni. I had no intentions of staying in Turkey or med school for working basically as a doctor. I was just there to be there, you know? My plan wasn't really graduating from there. Outside of Japan and Turkey, I wanted to experience a new country basically because I had a chance, and because I had the financial independence, I just went there because I wanted to.

Last year, my uni was basically online, so that was why I was traveling quite a lot. But then in the summer, there were so many things that happened to my family. There were so many issues going on, and so many problems we faced, and all of them were financially really challenging. So I decided to kind of quit my private med school and get into a public one.

This summer, I was preparing for the public uni exam for Italian med schools, and I got into a public uni. By the way, you know private uni costs quite a lot—like 18K Euros per year. Think about it, it's like 1000-500 Euros per month! And now my school fees are around 1000 Euros per year.

I guess right now we're in a place where we have to gather together as a family and support each other, you know, financially. I wish I could update you guys right now because I know that it's going to inspire a lot of people who are also financially struggling and who also have a lot of family issues. I wish I could share them right now, but for family issues, you know, it's not only about me; it's also about my family. So I can't share everything online, but I hope at some point, after a bit of time, I will be able to share it with you guys—what happened, what I did, what we did as a family, how we supported each other. Because I know it's going to give value to a lot of people, and it's going to give you hopes.

Oh, but basically, there's so much that happened anyway. So I didn't quit med school; I just had a lot of family issues, a lot of financial issues, and so many hard things. But now, here we are, stronger than ever, happier than ever! And of course, hard things can happen in your life, but I think the most important thing is appreciating everything you have.

Because I have been in a very financially challenging situation, I need to work more. I need to focus on my med school more. I need to, you know, basically work more. But having a chance to work is an amazing thing; it’s an amazing opportunity. It's an amazing privilege, in my opinion.

A lot of people say, “Don't hustle, don't do this and that,” but sometimes you're in a point of life where you need to hustle. Of course, work-life balance is important, but sometimes, there are some times in your life. By the time you're watching this video, maybe I'm attending UNI right now, but right now my uni hasn't started, so I'm kind of still in summer vacation where I’m basically more focused on YouTube so that I can make more money and so that we will have a more financially stable situation.

For about an hour, I was doing my finances—basically how much I'm going to spend—and I was budgeting also. I calculated my incomes and expenses, looked back at my unnecessary expenses and tried to cut them down. I also decided to hire an editor because I do not have, I will not have enough time to do med school, do YouTube, really Skillshare classes, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and I'm gonna socialize also. I also budgeted that out.

So it is lunchtime, and because I'm such a great chef, I decided to make this! This is ready-to-eat oats—not old meal, risotto. By the way, I have been training pretty consistently, and I try my best to get enough protein. Of course, this is not the best representation of what I eat in a day usually, but today I’m quite like...today I'm going to focus on my work rather than trying to cook things.

Of course, it is much better to get your protein from whole foods, however, today I want to focus on my work, not on my protein intake. So, I'm going to add a little bit of truffle olive oil, just a little bit. Is it the most aesthetic meal? Probably not! But is it yummy? Probably yes! So we'll see! Let me have my lunch and chill.

I'm gonna put some music on. This is my favorite speaker from Bose; I will link it down in the description below. It's definitely a game changer! Connected here, very...and very MacBook Pro. Time to do some work! I'm gonna write the script for my Skillshare language class. As I said, I think in total it's probably going to take me about like 30 hours—this course is gonna take forever. I hope you will enjoy it! I think I will be able to release this at the end of November, maybe at the beginning of December-ish. I hope you'll like it!

Okay, so I finally finished today's writing for discussion class. I did, in total, an hour and 45 minutes of writing and reading this time. And yeah, okay, so let's take a break!

Ah, did you hear it? Oh, I’m a grandma! Okay, so I changed into my workout clothes, as you can see…can you see? But this is a tank top from Warner Active, and also my leggings—can you see? I've been working out, can you see? Like, pretty frequently! And because I want to be a muscle mommy. No, but like I want to build some muscle and gain strength.

You know, when growing up, I always wanted to be skinny—Asian beauty standards. But now I just want to be strong. Some people say, “Oh, I don’t like muscle in women,” “Read, please don’t do it!” Blah blah blah, “I don’t like weak asses too!” So what? Anyway, I'm just joking. No matter what type of physique you have, if you're healthy and if you are happy—if you’re truly happy with your physique—then it's fine.

But one thing I realized with most people is that they tell themselves that they're happy with their physique even though they’re not. They're just trying to believe in that and make themselves believe about it. But because they're not happy with it, and because they're not 100% comfortable and confident about their body—basically, they're insecure about their body.

When they see someone else who's working towards that and who is confident in their body, I think it triggers their insecurity, and they kind of start to attack those types of people. I feel like most men who are insecure in their masculinity like to really attack women who have muscular bodies because either they are insecure about their muscles or they're insecure about their masculinity.

In their head, they tie being muscular into something masculine, and because they’re insecure in that masculine area, they tend to get really offended about a woman being muscular. Yes, for sure, you might maybe not like the aesthetic of it. Maybe you prefer a slim body for a woman and maybe a muscular body for men, or maybe you’re preferring a slim body for both of them—who knows?

But the thing that I'm saying is that rather than preference, some people just talk shit about your body even though you're not attacking them. You know, there's some—let's say a muscular woman posts a picture, and guys, or maybe girls even, are blaming and attacking her in the comments even though she didn’t do anything bad. It doesn’t make sense!

You can have preferences; for sure, we can all have preferences. I like strong women; I prefer strong women over a slim woman, and that is my preference. You can have your preference, but I don’t go to slim girls' Instagram pages and write like, you know, “You have this such like body type, this and that, it’s awful! Don’t do this!” and all that. Like, I don’t write that to anybody...trying girl train or something like that, you know?

So you can have your preferences for sure, but if you’re attacking someone for no reason, I think it’s just an insecurity showing up. That was my gym poke.

Both of you app for my workouts basically gives you all of the workout details, sets, and reps and all that, and you can also track your weights too, which is amazing! I love it! This year's goal is to get a peachy butt, and we're progressing pretty great. Yay!

Alright, so when I'm going to the gym, I usually like to wear sweatpants, and I wear a sweater on top of this. All of them combined, I look like this. You can really understand—I just look like a potato sack! But yeah, I'm excited to go to the gym.

Alright, honey, I'm coming now! Just buy me a new ticket. I'm from overseas coming, if I wanted, I pick it. You're satisfaction! Remember when I had to clip it? But I'm the Beast now; I can switch the whole clicker up! Two beds only move for the chat, blow hard the computer myself, and I'm too busy for the whole lot of cat.

Okay, so I came back from the gym, I had my dinner, and I also filmed one part of the video which was sponsored. So I filmed the sponsored segment. I'm gonna read a little bit of this book from my favorite psychiatrist, as we all know.

Remember when you send me the songs?
