To break the stereotype: I laughed the hardest, went out the most (coffee shops counted), and had a lot of fun DURING med school

1/ setting boundaries between study and âyouâ time is key. Itâll take sometime to figure out but it IS achievable!
2/ genuine, honest, awesome friends are GOLD! https://twitter.com/hedayagh/status/1280902820049440770
3/ making mistakes was the HIGHLIGHT of my time. Embrace it, learn from it, laugh at yourself later

4/ donât be afraid of trying new things, you learn a lot about yourself that way
5/ itâs not easy; youâll study, youâll grind, youâll stay up late some nights and wake up very early most days but the satisfaction when you suddenly notice (and comprehend) your abilities is beautiful
6/ Itâs not always pretty. I cried and had breakdowns. Take your time to grieve your losses but donât stay there. Ask for help, itâs completely fine

7/ check yourself regularly to make sure youâre ok and that your intentions are still pure
8/ youâll definitely change, I guarantee it, but to what exactly? Thatâs up to you

9/ of course itâs uncharted territory! Youâve never been there before so mark it as you go. Getting lost is a rite of passage
10/ the true secret is low expectations and gratitude for what you have. Be ambitious not greedy
