Hi all. I get the feeling that if I don't do a few things before starting medical school, they'll never happen. For instance:
A. Hiking the Apalachian Trail
B. Backpacking through a foreign country
C. Jumping out of an airplane
D. Going bowling in Canada one night so that my friends and I have a story that starts with the line "hey, remember that time we went bowling in Canada?"
And so on.
This is certainly not an exhaustive (or entirely serious) list, but it does bother me that if I barrel straight through to med school without any time off, I could miss my chance to do any number of these things. That in mind, I really would like to know what people wish they'd done before starting school. Thanks!
