RD2be Feels: What We're Really Thinking

What we're really thinking as we go through school, the DI application process, and the actual DI.

When you've matched and you hear other people talking about their matches

[rd2befeels]

When you and your best friend see each other in class after both matching to your top choices

...you both just wanna be chill about it

...but as soon as no one else is around you're both

[rd2befeels]

When you've applied multiple times and still don't get Matched

[rd2befeels]

When you Match!

What it's like trying to log into D&D on Match Day

No, seriously.  I know that it is really difficult, but do your best to relax and go do something.  The last few years, the system has crashed and people have difficulty signing in for a couple of hours.  

I really don't expect this year to be any different.

So, the best thing you can do is go to the mall, go see a movie, go do SOMETHING where you don't have immediate access to the internet, turn off your phone, and check your match info a couple of hours after it goes live.

It's extremely hard, but it's better for your mental health.

What you want to do to everyone who doubts your ability to get an internship or pass the RD exam

When you find out the classmate you've always competed with is applying to the same DI as you

[rd2befeels]

When someone asks a question about the program when it's clearly on the program's webpage

[rd2befeels]

When you apply for the 2nd time

[rd2befeels]

When someone goes "Wait. You're a dietetic intern/nutrition student and you eat like THAT?"

This happened again recently, so I'm reblogging from myself.

On the first day of your rotation, how you secretly feel

[rd2befeels]

The Matching process, DICAS, TPN calculations, specialized diet planning, tests, projects or anything else you dislike

How I felt after my first day as a dietetic intern

To everyone starting school or an internship

When you find out your classmate who didn't Match in Spring is applying to the same program as you
