Following the gym, I head home to cook food. I stick to the basics: a good protein, some carbohydrates, and greens with my meals. This is my time to watch supplemental videos for my classes, such as Ninja Nerd, an outstanding resource. Afterwards, I read. I look at the supplemental readings in the objectives of the slides and I read the recommended pages, whether it's the physiology or anatomy. I also use the first aid book for the USMLE Step One and break up the chapters weekly to read and practice.
The last bit of studying I do is USMLE-type questions on the topics I'm currently studying. Once I finish this, I try to relax, read non-medical books, maybe even play video games, or call my family.
Before heading to sleep, I prepare my notebook, iPad, and everything needed for the next school day.
I love medical school, and something I learned is that time management is more important than ever. Sleeping, eating, exercising, studying, and reading are all important activities for a med school student, and I believe that with good management, you can invest quality time into all of them.
