It’s a blessing and a curse. You get one class out of the way which is usually one of the hardest classes to Master, but at the same time you don’t get a break. In addition the summer class oms2 year has now been change to include OB/GYN because a certain class complained that their winter semester was too hard. It makes it now very difficult to do research and your summer leading to OMS2. To get to the point that doesn’t change anything. You still have to work hard regardless you still got to stay sharp and your time to goof around has been restricted. Starting medical school is not like starting any other program it is very life consuming because even when you’re not studying you feel like you should be studying and even when you are studying you feel like you should be studying harder. With that point please do not try to pre-study anything it will not help you. I recommend instead that all of you learn how to cook, how to time manage better, and most importantly of all get into a routine of waking up early exercising and learning ways to cope with your stress and anxiety. Medical school will be physically challenging and mentally. A little bit long-winded and off topic but take my advise .
