k so I've gotten the hang of tests and now things are going too smoothly near the end of 1st year. Signed up for Netflix and now I've taken to watching movies and anime left and right, reading extracurricular books and gaming with friends. Heavy drinking is a given every weekend. Wasn't expecting this upon entering school. Skipping every class except mandatory ones and not doing any EC activities (I mean like EC ECs). I don't get much out of lectures, and the ppts alone are sufficient+faster. Granted I avg low 80s on tests which isn't spectacular, but who cares about yr 1+2 grades anyway. Been keeping up with First Aid and planning to do well on step 1 as well as the wards.
HOWEVER I feel like this is an unproductive way of living and I sincerely wish there were either online med schools or 3 year accelerated options. Doesn't Duke do 1 yr basic sciences? Why aren't 3 yr schools in existence? And why aren't there online med schools like there are biz schools? Haven't posted in a while but I've raised some of these pts in the past on various parts of the forums. I've spoken with a few of my peers about this but I forgot there were you guys on SDN as well. Ppl who said med students are all brilliant and such and such, I knew that was bs back then and I've now validated it
Obviously this tends to be targeted to ppl who feel similar; others sry if I piss you off but I have a habit of doing that with some ppl, you cant please em all. Looking forward to hearing from ppl about it
