How did you/are you guys getting through the last few weeks of first year? We have four weeks left and I am so ready to be done that I'm counting down the days and hours before our last exam. We have two left and despite sitting with my syllabus for hours, I just can't get motivated enough for anything med school related. Any tips? Anyone else feeling similarly? 😳

We have end of the year comprehensive exams in July, so right now I'm freaking out about whether I'll still remember anything from the entire year in 11 weeks. That's motivating.

The weather here is still kind of sh1tty, but after my exam a week from now I think it will be taking a turn for the better. My goal is to find a good place outside with minimal wind and lots of sunlight, because its hard for me to concentrate (especially sitting inside) when the weather is nice. But to answer your question, yes, I feel like I'm running out of steam and I just want to be done

I took more frequent breaks and exercised more virgorously as we winded down the last few weeks of M1. For some reason, that seemed to help me get through the final weeks of micro. Burn out rate was definitely high, though. Hopefully this summer will be enough time for us to feel rejuvinated before M2 officially begins.

Pretty much. And its bled into other things too. I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks, I "study" but don't learn anything because its not active studying, I haven't been to the grocery store in a week and have resorted to eating canned soup.

All I want to do is watch the NBA playoffs or go nap.
