Ya know, I'm done with vet school classroom work. And honestly, it has flown by. There have been a few weeks where I've been miserable, but it really wasnt as bad as I was expecting. I've had a lot of fun and still managed to pass all my classes. Maybe I'm not the top of the class, but who cares! I've made it through family issues, personal issues, financial issues, etc. I've had days where i've been pretty miserable but looking back, it definitely could have been worse (Heck, I had bad days/weeks in undergrad too!) There have been high school moments, but it's not ALL like that unless you want it to be. It hasn't been that hard to avoid lots of drama moments. I've made more friends than I have enemies.
I will say, vet school was better when I wasn't working. I could spend my "Free" time having fun rather than heading in to work.
I'm hoping fourth year doesnt suck all that badly. But overall, I haven't hated vet school much more than I hated undergrad + working, and it definitely flew by just as fast! Seriously - find something that keeps you sane. For me, that's horses and having a place to ride. I've been so much happier since having a horse to ride compared to first year when I did not.
Overall, I would repeat 2nd year or 3rd year if I had to. First year sucked and would not want to do that over again., but looking back, it's a blur. I'm still glad to be where I am today. And I think I would have said the same thing just before final started, so this isn't completely post-finals bliss
