The addiction wears off w/ time... I can finally stop going to those SDNaholics Annonymous meetings.

Don't listen to Thingamajig, she may have cut back on her forum checking but she is still a chataholic. I reccomend trying my 2 step program to SDN rehabilitation.

Step 1, send me a check or money order for 200$

Step 2, send me your CPU

You wish girl!! Then again, I can't talk, since I still check daily and I already started medical school!!!!! But, at least I've count down on posting.

Yeah it wears off, but then you get broadband internet connection. You're posting frequency doubles! Man it's like a cocaine addict let loose in the fields of Columbia!

they should make a patch to help people cure their addiction of SDN.

don't you think??

i've discovered that my sdn addiction is directly proportional to the length of the essay i'm writing.

 

[Curci]

I'm also addicted to this place, and I just found out about it... three days ago. In fact, I'm beyond addicted. I'm to the point where I'm reading and writing posts here instead of filling out secondaries! D'oh!

it's most addictive when you are applying b/c you are constantly checking on what people have to say about your schools of interest.

After the application process, the addiction is much less and the only incentive to come back your buddies of SDN

No, I don't think so. we'd all need medication, like Wellbutrin or something.....

 

[FutureM.D.]

Oh, i'm addicted too! And I have a broadband internet connection which doesn't help!

Unfortunately, I really didn't start using SDN until after my application "experience". For me, it helps alleviate the nervousness before matriculation to med school in about two weeks.

hey, where the hell am i supposed to get a stapler? as long as I tape neatly, it shouldn't make a difference.

 

[kito]

once every couple of minutes? damn it you guys you're more exciting than that aren't you? wow, i thought my once a day habit was bad.

 

[CyclinE]

i think taping looks better. just curious, is anyone submitting extra photos of themselves? i think some applications allow this.

 

[jot]

is anyone submitting extra photos of themselves

no - don't see the point

OK, all you addicts, you've gotta read this.

Yeah! And it's all true!

I almost posted the other day when I almost had a heart attack after getting a letter from Temple U--the Podiatric School. And I check for updates every few hours...

 

[SMW]

btw, I think tape is the way to go. Double-sided tape, that is.

What if u have to write on the back?

 

[SMW]

Put the tape over or under the writing. It's probably just a safety measure so in case the photo falls off, they can reattach it to your app.

That's why SMW linked that thread earlier in this one. Thanks though.

This website TOTALLY takes away my time from my application and my sleep... It's so darn addictive!!!

Maybe it's because I don't know a lot of premeds otherwise... It's nice to see what's going on, you know?

 

[LizardKing]

Look at this insane thread: http://www.studentdoctor.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35844&highlight=signs+addicted

It's all about the addiction known as SDN.

 

[samyjay]

Just wanted to bump this since i am truely addicted now that things are in full gear. I check this more than email, since at least messages are posted here every few minutes. ahhh!

 

[SMW]

God, it was terrible when SDN was down for so long -- was it all day yesterday? It seemed like it. I got so much done, but it was an altogether terrible day!
