It amazes me that so many people apply and try to get into this field despite the awful debt to income ratio. And yet, I've applied twice, so . . . What is it about vet med that draws us in despite every logical voice saying 'get out now'?

Sorry about that guys. Pronouns are touchy for me and I should probably not have said anything.

Please say something. But understand that there is a lot of gender confusion on here (I am normally referred to as she by newcomers). I will try to remember, but it's very unintentional if I forget, and I will try and catch myself (because I sometimes type quick and post before thinking about what I posted)

It's better than being called the wrong pronoun though! I will warn you in advance, the rest of SDN will probably mess up the pronouns, but I'll try my best.

It's the first time I've been called she. Bombai is a boy, though 😉. So he or they are good for me 🙂. Or simply "bombai" 🙂. I've been misgendered my whole life. I can understand how most of those on this forum are probably "she." Because of my history, I attempt to avoid using pronouns whenever I don't know them. It's all good 🙂.

You've got people who get it here, don't worry. I still generally default to "she" on this forum because it works 95%+ of the time, but if I do that to you just correct me and I'll fix please.

Thank you. I was literally about to go make a new username. I will stay bombai for now, though.

No tequila for you. You and tequila are not a good idea

I'll be completely honest, I consider leaving vet school at least once per week. Granted, it isn't entirely because of the debt... but it is a rather large part of it. Maybe if I came out of undergrad with no loans already under my name and was only borrowing for vet school, I'd be a little less worried about it.

And, yeah, I'm also really worried about what will happen with current and future students after today's events. Really. Worried.

Yay me for attending vet school out of the country?

They already have a drunk history episode on it which was pretty good. Not shirtless though
 
Anyone else having a really hard time focusing on this semester's courses? Since I've been accepted to MSU's CVM, and all of my prereqs are done, I have no drive this semester. It could be that, or the fact that all I have this semester are the ecology courses required for my biology major, and I have about zero interest in them. And trying to pack to move, find a summer job, a permanent job for my wife, a place to live. Ahh!! School has never been this much of a struggle for me!

And bombai, thank you for telling us your pronoun preference! As a trans man, this was something that I used to struggle with as well. Correcting people and expressing my preferences was ultimately very liberating and freeing, if not terrifying at the same time.

Honestly I'm currently in the mindset that if I start thinking about dating or marrying a classmate that I'll have to either kill them or me to save us from the financial nightmare lol. What I really need is a sugar daddy except I don't want to give any sugar. So really I need an investor who wants no returns.

That's what a husband is! lol jk, my husband was the one who pushed me to reconsider vet med. I warned him, it's not only my fault if we end up in financial ruin because of it.

I feel this was about 2/3 of my classes even though I still need them to graduate haha. I still have one pre req left but I'm doing well so far. Research is keeping me motivated because we might have two manuscripts to put out by May
 
Apparently the homework that was due at midnight tonight was actually due at noon today. So I got a 62% on it because I didn't complete it. 🤔

For what it's worth I think this is super common for everybody after they get an acceptance. I know I really struggled with trying during my last semester of undergrad (and still struggle a little bit in grad school although it's slightly better than in undergrad 😛) and all of my motivation just flew out the window. It's not bad to have that happen and you should definitely take some time to relax but also remember to try at least a little bit. 😉

Also taking classes that aren't interesting really doesn't help with the senioritis. 😀 Just take it in stride and hopefully your motivation will recover in time for school.

Good luck on finding housing, by the way! That and moving were my two biggest stressors of the past year I think.
