I recently told one of my friends that I was thinking about creating a blog and she thought I was crazy for wanting to start a blog at the same time as starting medical school, BUT, what better time to create a blog?!
I’ve been talking myself out of creating a blog for YEARS. I couldn’t really find “the right time” for it. I’ve realized there’s no better time than right now!
During my undergraduate years, I compared myself a lot to other pre-med students; I always felt llike my imperfect GPA would never stand up to theirs, like I didn’t have enough extra-curriculars, etc. In all honesty, I was intimidated! So, one of my goals through this medium is to help take the intimidation out of the journey that is getting into medical school!
I understand that the journey into medical is only a small component of the equation. It’s the first part of the journey towards becoming a physician, and it just so happens to be the only component I have experience with so far! My path towards medical school wasn’t exactly linear, but I learned so much along the way. I am so excited to share some of that here!
Apart from all things pre-med and medical school related, I also really enjoy FOOD, being active, and maintining a positive outlook on life! I’d love to share tips and tricks I use in my day-to-day student life as well as some of my favorite ways to manage stress.
I’m sure this blog will evolve along the way, but I’m so excited I finally pulled the band-aid off and decided to just go for it!
