I sacrificed so much to be where I am, and while becoming a doctor is my ultimate goal at the moment, I don't know how much more I can take. I just want a tight group of friends to hang out with a few times a week and a woman I can love.

Is it possible to have a social life and be passionate about your academic life and future career? Will med school be any better? Residency? Life as a doctor?

I understand, but I feel like I can't have my cake and eat it too; school necessarily drains me of all my time.

Oh, i'm not in Ireland yet. Just a UBC reject who followed the "get a difficult degree to get into medschool" meme and got my shit kicked in. Gonna have to go to Ireland or DO school to get into medical school.

You'll get into one of them if you have an interview at all 3.

Do you know which school you're going to? Have you applied?

No, I apply in a few months. If i'm lucky i'll get into University of Michigan. Hoping my experience as a pharmacist will tip things in my favor.

Why did you want to do medicine?
