Any plans before you start med school this fall? I think I may travel to Europe or Australia, but I wanted some input for you guys. Also, the the current med students out there, what should the pre-meds take advantage of before med school starts?

I was initially thinking about traveling, but then I recently started hanging out with a lot of friends I haven't seen since high school and I've changed my mind a little bit. I'm just spending a lot of time reconnecting with people, reading books I never got around to reading, and watching movies I've wanted to see for a while. Other than that, I'm just trying to relax before I step into hell.

I've already started making the most of my time before med school! This winter has been epic with ton of skiing, snowshoeing, XC skiing, and indoor climbing. During the summer (once I am done with work), I plan to take as many hiking, biking, and rock climbing trips as I can. I'll be moving out of the mtns for school, so I need to enjoy them when I still have them easily accessible :) Additionally, I plan on traveling out to see family before everything begins.
 
Quitting my job. Playing videogames, reading, and watching television for 3 months.

Taking the Mrs and jumping on a flight to Europe for a couple of weeks. I'm going to make a pilgrimage to Westvleteren, Beligum to get a bottle of Westvleteren 12 from a monk. The rarest and "best" beer in the world.

That and Guinness. I shall drink a pint of shamrocked Guinness from the source.
 
I'm gonna go visit family back in the old country with the Mrs.
 
Ugh, so jealous! I'll be working until the bitter end :yuck:

I'm thinking Europe. Specifically the UK and maybe Italy.. And France, Switzerland, and Germany... And Spain... Too many places too little time!

I have family in Colombia too! I was born in Bogota and moved to the states when I was 8. Essentially all of my extended family lives there and in Cucuta. You should definitely go back - it's an amazing experience.

I loved Bogota! All of my father's family lives there, and they have a ranch in Cachipay where we spent most of our time.
