So I just realized that I haven’t done a life update post in a while and that’s so not good.
Here’s a bit of what’s been going on with me of late.
SCHOOL.
I rounded up the last bit of end of posting exams in medical school last week (whoop!) and my final exams start in two weeks.
I’ve been more stressed and frustrated of late because all I want to do honestly is sit my ass at home and study all day but my school isn’t making it easy on us at all.
Its one day, one trouble *sigh*
They have us still chasing signatures in order to be able to make attendance to write the exams like its our fault we couldn’t go to school during the ebola outbreak but like my classmates and everyone around me keeps saying “It is well” but I need you guys to love me with prayers this time around please.
BLOG LIFE
Regardless of all the chaos and the pile of books I have currently taking a huge space on my bed, I’m trying to also keep my blog life alive and post at least once or twice a week because I know how hard it is to get back after a particularly long time off.
Its all about finding balance and I’m determined to do just that!
However, I won’t be blogging during the actual exam week (as expected anyways)
Hopefully when all that is done and over, all the plans and new segments I’ll like to start up will be put into action.
Outfit Posts too will be a bit slow because I mostly take outfit posts when I’m actually going out. As you can tell I won’t be doing a lot of going out anytime soon but I’m trying to at least shoot one outfit post a week, mostly on sundays because i get to go to church.
I’m just really thankful for my awesome new photographer for making life a lot easier for me.
Also, I recently collaborated with the brand “Grey” (picture up there) and I can’t wait to share that with you guys later in the week.
SET LIFE
When you’re a broke undergraduate like me, you learn to really balance all the aspects of your life and also give space here and there for the side that brings in a little source of money.
I had this shoot sometime last month and these are just some behind the scene shots.
Definitely no more shoots for me anytime soon, finals no be rice and extra meat.
LEISURE
Not like I have any ‘leisure time’ but for lack of a better word.
I went to see Kingsman the movie after my last end of posting exam.
I just needed to relax and have a bit of me time but ended up going with my room mate. I still sat alone though and I had a great time! Great movie!
I started going to the movies alone sometime last year and I can’t tell you guys how therapeutic and relaxing it is! I used to be of the mind that it is absolutely weird to go alone but all that has changed.
What do you think about going to the cinema alone? Yay or Nay?
LESSONS.
I think that the most important lesson that I’ve learnt in this final year and especially during this exam period is that you’re truly OYO (on your own) in this life so you have to learn to fend for yourself real well.
Also you’ll get the most love from people you least expect.
I’m just so thankful for those classmates that can still take a little time out of their own busy schedules to ask about my wellbeing, how my reading is going and also answer all my plenty foolish questions sometimes.
This has taught me to also be nice to people and ask randomly about their wellbeing and basically try and be the best I can to everyone. Not so easy because I can be a moody person at times but I’m definitely a work in progress.
Good luck in your upcoming exams. .you have made it this far so you will def scale through.
and yes i love to go to the movies alone but i am a weirdo so my friends have stopped asking why i do it Lol.

Thank you tomie!! Amen!
Lol, you're not weird at all! Its so relaxing
I've heard going to the movies alone can be therapeutic. I thought my friend was insane when she did. I guess I will give it a try this year
wow! it's crazy how you do so much and still look fresh…
hard work pays! that's all I can say.
You might just be the next MARGARET ZHANG
Success Cassie!!

You are really trying.. Juggling all in one balance. I thought I cld do same, but Pharmacy ( in my dean's words) is not for the fashionistas and the creative people… Plus then being in finals aint beans… So blogging had to take a chill pill for a little while. So I really laud the fact that u can juggle all effectively, but I'll try. Anyways, 'all is well'…
I wish you success in your forthcoming exams…

I feel you totally about trying to read and lecturers adding more unnecessary wahala. Usually when they do this, the exams are usually easier(I think ) cos they really want you to pass. All the best.
Hey lady! Best wishes on the rest of your exams. I really like the photos of you on set – the makeup is so pretty.
Nothing much happening with me – I'm bored. I need to travel.

It's not weird at all, I love to go to the movies alone and get lost in a good one, no whispers. It doesn't happen often enough because once I mention I haven't seen some movie, there's a friend or two who want to come along
Success in your exams beautiful
God willl see you through it all.
Beautiful intelligent women are rear. Sure there are beautiful women. Certainly there are intelligent women. The combination is like gold. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself Dr. Cassandra. Thank you for being so awesome, and I wish you all the best on your exams.
PS – If I were in town I would gladly accompany you to the cinema. Silently I would offer you a large popcorn and a Coke. Peace of mind like gold is precious. God bless you.
Success in your exams Cassie (remember, common things occur commonly as they say in med school).
Your set pictures are beautiful
Praying and believing you will ace your exams! Great pictures by the way. As for me, not much new, just working a little overtime and ready for summer to get here. This has been a strange winter in North Carolina.
Doctor Cassie…see you already passed the exams in flying colours! Those pictures of you on set beautiful.

Pretty Pretty Pretty. I'm cool with going to the cinema alone. It's relaxing. Sometimes you just have to forget about planning things with friends and just spend some time with yourself.

Hey girl we have to Pray for our enemies so … Cassandra, you're always in my Prayers! tee hee 😉 *just kidding* Keeping a sense of humor helps in stressful/trying times!
Remember they don't admit people into Med School based upon their looks, you're a Very Intelligent Sister … so Trust yourself! I would Trust you with my life & so will your patients!
I know quite a few doctors & they have to make it difficult …
1. To weed out those that aren't dedicated …
2. You will have to deal with families (harder than patients), administrators, insurance & while no doctor wishes to lose a patient it will happen. You must Focus on the ones God chooses you to heal … yeah it's Long hours, low wages through your internship … and a bunch of other ish! Not as Glam as most think! But you'll make a Huge Impact/Difference in the Lives of those you touch … Priceless! =D
Go to movies by myself??? Yep! Read, listen to music, bath & dine alone too … we all need our own space at times! 😉
May God Lead, Guide, Direct, Comfort, Bless, Provide and Protect you Always Amen.
Now stop worrying & second guessing yourself! Wishing you an Awesome Day/Week! 🙂 ttyl
Miss Cass, final year really no be beans, but I want to assure you say e go better. You are a wonder woman, I am thinking how easy it would be to juggle all this. Ehn sometimes a lil "Me" time is all that is needed to escape insanity. I love going to the movies alone, #Nojambquestionsafter. So its definitely Yay. I love the part about being nice to people especially strangers definitely a plus. Good luck with you exams dear.
