Finally finished my first semster of medical school with and I went out with a bang! This semester has been not only challenging academically but difficult due to the amount of change I've experienced. Had to move to a new city, make new friends, adjust to the med school life, and get used to being far away from loved ones. I've had to learn to keep a few simple things in mind for my sanity and happiness: ▪You belong here. You worked hard and school is tough but you belong here. Hardworking will pay off!!! ▪Scheduling time for yourself is important! There's so much to study that you often hesitate to take an hour or two out of your day to take a break. It's amazing how much of a difference that makes in your everyday. ▪Lastly, surround yourself with positive people that will push you to your limit! This will help you work harder and stay motivated. ~Doctor In Progress
