Why is it that every time my friends or I visit SDN forums we get so stressed.

Why is it that once you enter this twisted world of pre-med forums, you just HAVE to read just one more interesting thread.

Why is it that right after reading this seemingly interesting thread, you realize that you've read it 10x before, all in different postings.

Why is it that when you ask for advice you get an exactly equal number of nays and yays? Leaving you more confused than before.

Why is it that after reading posts about the horrific experiences in Orgo, during your FRESHMAN year, you're left more depressed about the next three years than before.

Why is it that SDN plays such a pivotal role in a neurotic premed's life that enjoying College Life becomes a second priority?

Why is that grades, research experiences, and acceptances have to be posted on the internet to feel truly valid?

Why is it that after numerous 30 minute sessions of browsing SDN, I'm behind on my readings and depressed about my future, yet I still return? (Isn't this the definition of INSANITY?)

Why is it that I rely on this website, with sources that can never be backed up and reputations that could be purely fictitious?

So, in my premature experience with SDN I've realized that nothing good can come of venturing into this portal at such a young age. From now on I'm determined to end my relation with this....beast. Off I go on the traditional route, getting accepted into a good Medical School without SDN (might be a crazy thought to some). So High-schoolers, Freshman, and Sophomores, unshackle the binding chains of this monster and go....study!

haha chill out bro
 
Whaaaaat?

I have SO much fun on SDN... seriously.

Same. I love this place.

Of course, I was already neurotic before I joined, so, to me, finding SDN was more like coming home...or joining a cult of like-minded people. Whichever.

Oh, and see you later, OP. Good luck with the process.
 
Posting in this thread is kind of like saying goodbye to somebody after they've left the room and closed the door.
 
This is why I'm glad I didn't discover SDN until late in college. It's a great resource for advice but perusing it too often can cause a lot of unnecessary worry.
 
You only get stressed if you're the kind of person that has to be the best versus doing and accepting the best that you can do.
God, i wish i could follow this advice. Sorry, but for the next 4 years i'm going to devote my life to being the best at every class, i know that's a bit neurotic, but I want to make up for lost time in high school. 🙁
