Being true to yourself

Posted 11-10-2009 at 07:34 AM by Simran1031

I think that this principle is fundamental to being happy. Last year has been stressful and frustrating..Taking 4 months of work to study for mcats..struggling to find a job..getting a 26 even after all those months of studying..and now sitting on umteen rejections isnt easy. However, I have learnt a lot this year. I have learnt to stand by my decisions and my principles. It has been a lesson on being humble and modest. Overall, I have learnt that no matter what happens I need to follow my passions...

white coat fantasies

Posted 11-04-2009 at 02:32 PM by Simran1031

White coat fanstasies..
That’s what I like to call them..
Some where in between here and now..
Caught between the crevices of what could be and what is…
I cant help but ask myself when will it happen
When will I actually step into the doors of a medical school..
As the rejection letters are piling up
I cant help but a feel jaded
Like in some way this whole process was all in vain..
All in a desperate attempt to find meaning..
To find...

living in the now

Posted 09-22-2009 at 09:41 PM by Simran1031

i have been struggling with this one for a while now..

always running so far..chasing a dream that often seems a bit out of reach and bit far..but there are times when i feel like i am almost there and can touch it...

so i have decided to come up with a new motto for my life which is to live in the now..a task i have failed miserably to do most of my life...

i have always been a dreamer..the type that thinks of opening future clinics...finding new cures......

Dealing with rejection

Posted 08-27-2009 at 09:03 AM by Simran1031

i think my count now is 8 out of 44 thus far..i am certain more rejections will come in..
but each one is hard..

i am trying not to internalize it...

i think i gave it my best shot this cycle and if i dont get in even in 1 place..i will apply to a few postbacc and grad programs..

we will see what the future holds for me..

i am sure whatever will happen will happen for the best..

however..i hope studying full tiem for mcats...

application update

Posted 08-21-2009 at 09:21 PM by Simran1031

it has been hard writing this app season..it just feels like the applcation is such a private thing that it is hard to discuss..

however, i think it is important to let it all out and less the load on my heart..

so my status so far...

i decided to apply to 44 schools..and yes you may call me crazy sinnce my starts were horrendous wiht a 3.5 and a 26 but i figure my chances are slighlty higher the more schools i apply to...

thus far i have finhshed...

roots.

Posted 07-26-2009 at 08:14 AM by Simran1031

i have always been the one full proofing my life..

whether it came to school..jobs..grad school..

i did everything and anything to keep things under my control..but the more i live..the more i realize how little is really in our control..

we can do our part and that is all..

i have also realized that there is a greater bigger purpose why we are all alive...

each of our lives has a distinct meaning..

our relationships..our...
