For the first time in such a long time, I felt confident in myself today.š„°
We had OSPE (Objective structured Practical Examination) and skill laboratory exams today, and I left the exam halls feeling as if I crushed them both. I was right about one of them, and I am waiting for the results of the second one.
Feeling confident doing these exams reminded me of the feeling of excelling in exams. The rush was something I really missed. Honestly, it gave more motivation to study for my finals, which are in 3 days. I'm hoping to keep this motivation until the end.
In a completely unrelated topic, my boyfriend has broken up with me. The excuse he used was that he didn't have much time to be dating and that he needed the time for other things. Am I disappointed? Definietly. But, I am not going to brood over it and work on myself to be better. This was the last chance I was willing to give to having a relationship in medical school, and that's done for š
The general takeaway from this is, "Don't date in medical school." š
Someone said ā I donāt walk away to teach people a lesson I walk away when Iāve learned mineā and I felt that.
You will meet people who will teach you love in its safest and purest form.
so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but itās also going to work out. thatās life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and itās all okay.
Yep. Some people are so miserable, they wanna see others down bad just like them
iād do anything for me. i love me.
That ālossā was a blessing in disguise.
no matter where you're at in your life, there's always time for things to improve. even if you feel lost, stuck or left behind, you have the time to build a life you want. you may not get back the years you've lost, but you will have many years to live contentedly. there is more than this darkness & you have the time to see what else there is, in whatever form that is for you. simply put, life is not meant to be this hard. things will get easier, softer, brighter.
you got this.

Can we all just agree that if you work in medicine and youāre going to get a tattoo with a heart rhythm, you should ensure you know the rhythm youāre putting on your body?
I will 100% judge you if you tell me that V-fib on your wrist signifies life.
I had a professor in college who used to start solving every problem with the same dialogue.
Proff: Whatās the first step to solving any problem? Class: Donāt panic. Proff: And why is that? Class: Because we know more than we think we do.
I think about that a lot tbh. It didnāt occur to me until much later that he meant for us to apply that dialogue outside of the classroom to any problem. Because we always know more than we think we do. We are all an amalgam of random information that ends up being relevant with surprising frequency.
