btw, I second the thread about med students all being required to take SSRIs. I promised myself I wouldn't take anything too seriously in med school b/c I have been guilty of OCD in the past, but the anxiety level among my classmates here gets so high sometimes I feel bad about trying to have a life outside of medicine.
So, I'm getting sick of the med student scene...we sit in class all morning with each other, do lab all afternoon, then it's either study in the library or feel guilty about going to happy hour with the same old 20 classmates who actually still bother to go out.
I thought I wouldn't mind hanging out with med students, but I'm starting to view them more as colleagues with hyper-neurotic tendencies and I don't care to spend too much time freaking out with them.
I'm thinking about joining some undergrad clubs, like writing for the campus magazine here...or maybe helping out at the college radio station. Anyone have success mingling with the undegrads? I'm only 23, and look pretty young, so I sure hope I still fit in! It's only been a couple years since I graduated. Maybe I just won't tell them I'm a med student?
