Class of 2022, you can bring 1 item!

Thought I would create a post to lighten the mood. Similar to being stranded on an island, once you matriculate this fall what is 1 item you must bring with you? Be original!

For me… my zojirushi rice cooker (technically my parents, but they can buy a new one! Haha). Instant pot is nice, but nothing beats the memories of trying to make rice with too much or too little H2O and getting scolded by mama Philz. Plus, I never feel satiated unless I've had rice for one of my meals.

Also, anyone can chime in… not exclusive to just class of 2022.

A bathtub for some relaxing bubble baths

My first thought was lavender-scented epsom salt or bath bombs, but since the bath idea is already taken, I'll go with my various posters and canvas paintings of places I've always wanted to visit to a) remind me of the beauty in the world outside of med school when the workload begins to feel suffocating and b) remind me of the awesome life I'll have once I'm a doctor and can afford to go on trips!

Or I guess just one of them since you said one item haha

A lot of canvases come in sets of 3, right? 😉

Zojirushi rice cookers are bomb. I love how mine plays Mary Had a Little Lamb when the rice is done.

Crock pot and pressure cooker are also essential.

I'm going to say I'd bring my whole damn kitchen! That's one thing.... right? :-/

I'm taking all my family's pots and pans. Haha.

 

[tiramisucheese]

My musical instrument so that I can play in a community group and pretend that I still have a balanced life 😀

 

[Isoval]

A USB full of spicy memes.

I’ll need Pepe to cheer me up after the first round of exams.

 

[BellaWriterChic]

A full bar to exercise my bartending skills. If we are stranded on an island we might as well enjoy it.

One long island please… sorry couldn't resist.

My Gi. Gotta keep the martial arts training going!

 

[IndieKush]

PS4 w/ Fortnite

 

[Jdp00921]

My PC setup!!!!.... If that counts as one item 😉

 

[goatmed]

Something that pumps out a lot of coffee. Alternatively, all the Caribbean threads for when I feel like crying.

 

[willow84]

Starbucks Verisimo machine with endless pods or one of my favorite bottles of wine that just magically refills once it's empty.

 

[FlavivirusProtease]

Either my vacuum cooker or my slow cooker. They've both changed the way I eat so much. I love being able to leave whatever I want in the morning and come back at night and have a nice meal. Saves so much time in front of the stove.

Edit: I'm waiting for someone to say "My already fully annotated copy of First Aid"

The wherewithal to see the bigger picture for the times when medical school will feel torturous...

I’m sorry to disappoint, but the whole jar of crunchy peanut butter is for post workout

I was going to say Keurig for the caffeine needs, but...

After a recent session I would have to say my theracane (Thera Cane) -- bear with me here, but using this puppy on your shoulder and upper back muscles after a day of hunching over studying is a spiritual experience

Given that - I guess you will be tacking a ginger cat with you?

I dont think my ginger cat would let me leave without him! haha

Edit: if you're wondering, I will be bringing my sense of impending doom as well

 

[FutureOncologist]

My advice: bring something that reminds you of the outside world. Don't neglect medical school, but don't let it consume you. For me that was workout clothes. I made sure I worked out at least 3x a week in the gym. No stress over medical school, tests, rotations, etc.

Framed letter from someone I once helped

For motivation

 

[Flamingo123]

Tide pods...in case I get hungry ...or stupid.

That sounds like a classic cat response; important never to forget the sense of impending doom for sure!
