:laugh: I generally do the same.

Plus, if you try and tell a med student anything, they're all "I'm a med student, I know more than you can possibly imagine, puny pre-med" and stuff.

yeah man, once we start school this fall we'll obviously just be so much wiser and know so much more about medical school and residency and everything

You could be an architect and debating architectural stuff and the med student with no architectural experience will pull that. Or insert any kind of example like that.

I hope I won't get like that in med school. :scared:

My roommate left for a vacation, so now I am completely alone in my apartment for the next 2 days. Weird. It kind of sucks ending undergrad with such a crappy year, but it's nice to be done.

Yea I worry about that too... but for more than just this reason. A lot of docs I see are douchebag *******s who are full of themselves (I guess they start when they are med students?). They do a variety of things (other than just being knowledgeable about every field) that I hope I don't fall into the practice off. Clearly quite a few docs are awesome and nice.. I'm just hoping it's the strength of their character that helped them stave off all the nonsense and become good doctors.

And I'm hoping I've got that strength of character too 😎

I know, as if they are so much more worldly than us after being in med school for 4 months. Maybe in some areas but not all. I feel like med school will prove to me how little I actually know.

Oh yeah, congrats on being done!!!
 
Thanks for all the congrats.

Going to eat my celebratory lunch at the Chimes (great LSU bar/restaurant/taproom). Probably my last time there for a very very long time. 🙁

I think the real funny/worrisome thing is that we'll have to deal with this hierarchical "I know so much more than you could possibly ever know simply by virtue of the fact that I am one year older than you*" thing throughout our careers

med students get picked on by junior residents get picked on by senior residents get picked on by attendings..etc.

*Although I guess to be fair, there are certainly times where they do know a lot more, though.

Definitely.

It just bugs me when first year med students say that we don't know anything about something that they probably don't know much about themselves.

Sammich, don't get all high and mighty when you start in 17 days. :laugh:
 
1st years really don't know anything important is what makes it funny. We know some crap about biochem and the names of body parts. 90% of the important stuff comes later.

I feel like realizing this about 1st year is the same moment you have when you're a kid/teenager and you realize that your parents aren't all knowing. That they make up stuff half time because it sounds good coming from parent. The veil of omnipresence and authority is lifted and you feel confident to challenge their opinions.
 
congrats on finishing school, to those people that did (i saw met, maybe others?)

and happy moving, sammich!

happy tomorrow-is-friday to the rest of you!

Man I was so mad when I found out my parents made up some ridiculously absurd stuff to get me to do random things.

Me too! You feel manipulated and made a fool. Maybe this is why some teenagers become confrontation to their parents. Gosh, I may have just stumbled across a new psychological theory for teenage/parent angst.

if you end up at UCSD 🙂xf🙂, you could help contribute to research they already do on parental lying! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/09/090922132844.htm

oh that's totally fascinating. i love how they looked at different cultures as well. the sociological implications of parenting strategies would be so interesting to look at. parenting strategies probably influence socialization and societal-determined social norms.

umm, good idea. they realize that nobodys omniscient and everybody lies, so they begin to trust only themselves, thus leading to a feeling of "i already know everything" in them. plus, their experiences as a kid obviously differ from their parents' and other authoritative figures' experiences as adults, leading to conflicts that resemble rebelliousness.

i like it, i like it.

here within lies another interesting intrapersonal conflict. they maybe trust only themselves but there is such a need to belong to a group that they are forced to trust some peers. maybe not fully, but at least superficially. do you remember how strongly you trusted your best friends and only them? every one else is kept at an arm-widths distance away.
 
umm very true. so combining our thoughts, maybe teenagers arent actually rebellious, since they do seem to follow the lead of their peers. it's merely their distrust for all adult authority figures due to their vastly different experiences manifesting itself as something that seems like rebelliousness.

yeah, if you think about, mostly adults call teenagers rebellious. i don't think i called even my older brother rebellious (jerk maybe, lol). sometimes he was right about my parent's wierd rules and simply had to guts to say something about it. sometimes he was wrong, too, lol. kids start challenging authority fairly early, especially once they learn the power of the word 'no.' luckily, you can make a small child do want you want. its more difficult to physically and therefore mentally control a teenager.

even the lab ppl doing it looked bored. i have friends who work in a histo lab and making sections and then cuts ALL days seems dull work. but hey, to each his/her own.

sidenote: showing pics on craigslist of the house w/ bars on windows --> ummm huge turn off to female renters.

LOL that's hysterical. i especially like:

"Things I don't like:
Typical college kids- fraternities, sororities, the word 'brah'
Hard drugs
Misogynists/chauvinists
Racists
Suburbs
Late Rent
Late Utilities
Late rent and utilities
People who got kicked out of their last living situation"

And then the comment: "I'm sure I haven't covered everything." If you googlemap it and look at the street view, where the hell is this house?!?!
 
Does Cleveland sports come to an unofficial end tonight?

:scared:

I've been crapping my pants all day... so antsy
 
the expunged felony thread is pretty quality. anything that starts with "my wonderful gf was arrested for oral copulation with a minor" is pretty quality. :laugh:
