I'm tired of this feeling

Members don't see this ad.

Always feeling like I have something to do or always thinking about what I will have to do later on to improve my application or get good grades.

Like I can never enjoy free time or just watching football because I know I still have to study for an upcoming exam or something and it just ruins my free time and stuff.

Or with winter break coming up, can't stop thinking about how much I will need to volunteer or shadow and stuff, I just want a break from this constant feeling of having to do something or study to get into dental school...

dental school will probably be 100x worse I feel like with a insane course load.

Anyone else like this lol

Dental school is really tough, but I do not have the stress of "competition" anymore! This will make your life in dental school better even if the material, labs, and clinics are harder that your undergrad classes (unless if you wanna specialize then you'll have another competition and that will make your life stressful again)



GLAD THAT I DON'T WANNA SPECIALIZE

Glad I don't want to specialize either... just hate the stress and competition of getting into dental school. Luckily I have a good GPA through my first year and should have another good semester this semester so I can always slack off for one semester 🙂 I'm sure that would be a good kick in the butt and get me motivated to study

That's why when you do get a REAL break, cherish it. I have two of these left. My one month of winter break and 2 months of summer break where I will have literally NOTHING to worry about. 20 years of long wonderful breaks gone. Only 2 left for the rest of my life.

Your life will be less stressful! I don't wanna count how many finals I have because they are A LOT, but it is still fine as long as I pass (no need for high GPA to graduate from dental school 😉)

But I have to rack up the volunteering and shadowing hours which doesn't make it feel like a break anymore...

It sucks.

Find some kind of volunteering you would enjoy! I personally usually don't volunteer during breaks, but if I did, I did it with friends which made it very enjoyable! 🙂

Such a damn long journey tho, makes me wonder if it's worth it. I want to be a dentist and want all the perks that come with it but man do I hate book work and studying even though I am good at it...

Gotta find motivation somehow...

Youre telling me. 3rd time applicant, super-super-super senior status and I finally got an acceptance, unquestionably worth it.

Sorry about my choice of words. I shouldn't say terrible. Rather it is not as family friendly as the Midwest. If I didn't have a wife and a kid , I would have no problem living in Philly. It's a decent city. I do have to say that philly is a little bit more rundown than other cities I've visited across the country. But who cares. You are gonna be stuck inside temple most of the time 😉

Cheers
