April 16 2017: One good piece of advice?
When I was younger my parents would always remind me to focus on myself and put others after. My parents especially stressed the absence of a boyfriend until studies are over. But I’ve come to realize that for some people, like myself, having others around is important, so long as they are respectful and enriching. Study buddy has helped me refocus and recover, and he reminds me of my long term goals. I was teasing him (this morning or last night?? I can’t remember?) by asking him “what do you want from me!!!” And he said “for you to become the doctor you want to be” and I was like aww. what a guy.
So my best advice is to find a trustworthy support network. They can actually be grounding instead of distracting.
Also don’t major in biochemistry at ucla it hard
ps. today I visited study buddy at work and his face when he saw me sitting at the cafe tables from where he was behind the counters was priceless lol ((((；ﾟДﾟ)))))))
