not a student nurse.

Rant, laugh, and cry while letting the side of my mouth drip of cheese from the artery-clogging spoonful of poutine I just stuffed in my mouth - I do a lot of things when I'm not too busy learning about the human body.

if you are a young thing i have one piece of advice for you:

being enthusiastic and happy about things you love is more important than being apathetic and snide. you will go so much farther in life spending energy on and talking about something you love than wasting energy on only complaining about or making fun of something you don’t. 

don’t focus on mocking others for being genuinely excited about something. focus on the things and people you love.

a small reminder if you’re always comparing your progress and abilities to the people around you. don’t be discouraged by someone else’s achievements, yours will come around soon enough! :-)

Time.

I realized something - we’re never going to have enough time for anything. And no time is ever going to be the right time. This goes for all of us. It’s about making time for the things we really want and prioritize. 

Whether it be a social life, good grades, seeing an old friend and watching that movie you’e been dying to watch, talk to that guy you’ve had a crush on for the longest time... if you don’t do it now, when will you do it? 

So remember, it’s better now than never.

When you have a shitload of tests coming your way and you still haven’t started on your readings

I think I want to commit to something fulfilling in my life,

I don’t know if I’m getting burnt out or if I’m taking on too much extracurriculars on top of nursing school, but I need something that is not medically related. Been feeling sort of empty lately. Like I’m lacking something.....emotionally. I feel like there’s a routine and time frame to everything I do since more or less, my day is planned out on a piece of paper. Even sleeping feels like a forced routine. 

Is this just a normal part of learning to find my place in a emotionally demanding field? Is it normal to feel sad when I’m alone? I get really sad in those 30 minute increments when I’m not studying, or at a meeting, or just keeping myself busy. Maybe I’m just an emotional little shit. I don’t know. 

Well, whatever it is, I hope to find something soon.
