7 Rules of Life

1. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

2. What others think of you is none of your business.

3. Time heals almost everything; give it time.

4. Don`t compare your life to others, and don`t judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

5. Stop thinking too much; it`s alright not to know the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it.

6. No-one is in charge of your happiness, except you.

7. Smile. You don`t own all the problems in the world.

I hadn’t realized what I was missing until school came back to campus. I sincerely hope that I can have my last year in person…

32/100 days of productivity | 01.06.2021

study things I did today:

half a year ago, i was considering making a life change that was, frankly, absolutely terrifying to me.

i gave up on being premed in my sophomore year of undergrad for a variety of reasons, the main one being feelings of inadequacy. i never considered the path i'd have to take until it was staring me in the face, and i abandoned my goals out of fear.

fast forward through two years of undergrad, a pandemic graduation, my first adult™ job in the medical field, and a complete re-evaluation of my priorities and what i'm capable of, and... i am proud to say that i am back on a premed track.

this time around, i have a much better idea of what steps i must take, how hard i must work, and how long the path will be. i won't say i'm not afraid anymore. challenging myself is scary. but i've made it this far, and i have so much farther to go.

i'm documenting my non-traditional premed journey, starting with my applications to postbaccalaureate premedical programs. i'd love to hear your stories as well. let's freaking do this thing!
