When talking to people who have rich parents to pay for everything...

Convo with grad student today:
-"Have you decided on a med school?"

-"Yes, I am sure on UCSF but the housing scares me. Didn't you live in the Mission area? Any recs for housing, I'm seeing avg 3500 for a 2bd."

-"yeah it's sort of expensive. But where you should move is (names neighborhoods I don't recognize.) it's really nice, good restaurants and stuff and prob only $6-700 more."

-"6-700 more?"

"Yeah, but I mean that's nothing. You won't even notice that every month."

That's pretty expensive for a pineapple.
"A pineapple grown in Britain in horse manure is believed to be the world's most expensive piece of fruit, allegedly worth £10,000. The fruit was nurtured over two years using traditional and very expensive Victorian gardening techniques at the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall.Dec 22, 2012

I've got a payment plan....

But seriously, I lol'd so much at your reply :laugh:

I pay $400

That includes utilities lol
That is crazy!

My cap on a two bedroom would be maybe 2200 in DC (with utilities), and I was well aware that that was a lot. SF prices are on a whole other level, and he was not talking about utilities included. He has also never worked, took a couple years off between ugrad-grad to travel. I just in no way, shape, or form, can relate.

Lol nope. Met his parents, they paid his Stanford education in cash, and I guess covered his COL. Pretty sure they're paying his Yale grad education too.

It's scary how often I've considered taking caffeine pills...
I should look into this. I heard they work pretty well and I'm assuming they're cheaper than buying coffee. I'm just worried it'd be too much caffeine and I'd be super hyper

I have been working on this. Just ordered some melatonin yesterday and will start using it at the end of the week. Also stopped taking pre-workout during my night gym sessions.

I actually thought of you when I first saw it. I didn't remember what it is you want to specialize in but I know it has radiology in it haha

Lol! Dang you have a great memory. NIR, like the NSG or neuro path more, but this thread gives such a great look at rads, which I don't really know much about.

Great find!

Edit: lmao

GYM and/or cardio friend!

Another good idea is lux app for your phone/computer. It reduces the un-natural blue light from computer screens.

Nope. It's been an issue before the application cycle. But I do have general anxiety issues so wouldn't be surprised if it's linked, like most things.

Good lord... I hope Columbia is generous with scholarships. That's insane.
scholarships only apply to tuition, COA stays the same so you get the same amount off money - scholarship.
