How to pass time after getting accepted

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm finishing a graduate degree and I have a house to sell and kids and a husband to help transition, so I'm pretty booked up until late May...I'm hoping to have a relaxing June/July once we move before med school starts. It will be my first summer "off" since 2013.

If you're still in school, finish strong. I gathered you're not though since you said this is your 3rd app cycle. Congratulations, your perseverance has paid off! If you're working, stick as much as you can in the bank so you're less poor during med school. Get your house in order over the next few months...learn to cook, clean, meal plan, budget, get into a good routine at the gym, declutter so you're not taking much with you if you move. Once you've got all that handled if you still have free time (and money), travel a little, see family and friends before you move and med school takes over your life, read books for pleasure, and watch all the TV shows and movies you've missed trying to get into med school.

Oh, and bask in the acceptance for a little while. 🙂
 
Treat yourself well. Sleep. Eat. Enjoy time outside with friends and family. Personally, I vote for a vacation to a national park (if it’s in the budget).
 
Well I need to match into Neonatal Neurosurgery at UCSF, so I have started watching BnB, going through Zanki and reading FA. By the time I take Step 1 in 3 years, I should be able to score 250+ no problem...

But in all seriousness, I’ve been waking up at noon and going downtown with friends a lot more. Feels good man
 
You’ll hear this again and again, and probably won’t do it, but you really need to:

Learn to cook, and find a solid exercise routine.
 
So I recently got accepted into a med school after 3 application cycles.
I was wondering, how are you guys passing time until Fall comes around?

I used to be stressed during my cycles, and now it just went away all of sudden
Learn to play the organ and to speak Modern Standard Arabic. These are both highly useful to you because very few people can play the organ and, while many can read MSA, virtually no one uses it in daily conversation. How are these useful, you ask? Because they can make you #unique
