What do you all do to motivate yourself to keep plugging through school?
I have been really depressed...really since classes started (this seems to be common around these boards now a days from looking at the other threads)....and am looking for some motivation! We do have a longitudinal clinical program where we spend a day in a clinic, but I find my assigned field to be quite dry/boring (I also dont like outpatient medicine too much, which is all I have been exposed to since starting med school)
In undergrad working with kids at a small inpatient hospital worked wonders for my moral, but my med school pretty much makes you ask permission to do anything clinical at area hospitals and if your grades arent up to par, they dont let you do it (I suppose I could go behind their backs and do it anyways, but its a small town with limited clinical opportnities, so I dont know how exactly I would go about doing that...). The school doesnt seem to understand my dilema:::lack of motivation = bad grades 🙁
Any suggestions? What do you do to motivate yourself to keep on truckin'?😉
