Balancing first year

I wasn't a fan of relying on supplementary materials. At my school, exam questions could only come from the lectures so I would try to spend most of my time memorizing them. Sounds like you have a different setup.

I understand.. Thanks anyway 🙂

Take things one step at a time. If at first you want to really commit to med school, because you're non-trad and to need to adjust your study habits, then limit spending time with your boyfriend to one day a week, if that's what you think you need. Once you get used to med school, you should have more time to spend with him. You'll need to study a lot - but not literally all day, every day. But if he reacts negatively to your decision to focus more on acclimating to med school then on your relationship, that may portend future problems.

Any boyfriend worth having is a boyfriend who would understand that at least until you adjust to med school, they will need to be patient and do things on your timetable. Any man who can't respect that is doing you a favor and proving that it's not a relationship worth having at this point in your education/career.
