What ECs do you guys do during winter break?

Is anyone doing anything interesting?

I've never had a date in my life.

I guess I will get a date instead looking into volunteering in Africa..

Or I will study MCAT Verbal

winter break's a little too short to do any significant ECs... just enjoy it.

Sleep.

Seriously, winter break>summer break, because it's the one time of year where you don't feel like you need to be doing something. Anything you do during that time is going to LOOK like you were trying to pad your app.

Shadowing?

Shadowing?

come on, it's christmas. people need to stop trying to be robots and cram in ECs whenever they can and just spend some time with family.

I just eat lots of home-cooked food and watch lots of TV and play lots of video games, and just hang out with my family.

I'm going to play in the snow with my dog

Seriously, just go home and see the family, go out with friends, catch up on pleasure reading, play your instrument if that's your thing, anything besides more EC's for your app.

I'll probably be working at my entry-level food service job to earn a bit of extra $$$. And Sleeping. And Eating. Breathing. Moping. You know, the usual.

OP now you know what people mean when they talk about premeds not doing anything else in their lives other than padding their med school apps...

As you've been told 1000x in this thread, live a little. Leave that Free Clinic to Izzy and Bailey.

Seriously, how many threads is the OP going to create about EC's. He currently has three threads about them on the first page. Go have fun, you're a freshman.

[Artimacia]

Haha, I'm just gonna study some for the MCAT, do a little volunteering at the hospital each Saturday, just as a continuation, and make truffles and other types of sweets. Since it doesn't snow here, I'll probably go to the beach 😉

Verbal

Make sure they are not pre-meds.

haha, it will be fun.

So, Laura, how about we hit it up in the back of the volunteer department tomorrow night? Make sure to finish your shift by 10 PM. Then we'll go study for that O-Chem midterm.

On a mountain on a snowboard for 3 weeks. Don't be such a nerd. 😉

Skiing, sleeping, partying, and relaxing. I suggest you do the same 👍

 

[ProtonatedAlchy]

just curious about some of your insight...

would any of you go on a short term (3 weeks) study abroad for winter break? or would you put that money toward the med school fund...

kind of an once-of-a-lifetime experience versus $$$

worth it?

truly admirable activities.
