Med School application Season!


So yeah, I just turned twenty and my life went 360° all of a sudden. For a recap, my senior year so far...in one word: OVERWHELMING.

I gave myself the whole month of September to reflect on possibilities, opportunities, and regrets (too general, I’m conscious of that) =)) Oh well. By the end of this month, I have decided.

Med School applications mostly open on October...and tomorrow is OCTOBER. And therefore, my brain is fucked. HAHAHA!
Today is my DEADLINE. yeay.

In the past few weeks, I think everything is a constant reminder of Med school. My family has been very supportive on “whatever career” I would choose in the future. But basically, the “whatever career” falls in just one category: MEDICINE. It’s like choosing with only one choice.

As I celebrated my birthday last September 17, I also received three awesome gifts from my three favorite siblings with M.D.’s at the end of their names. And the gifts I received are all reminders of “brace yourself, Med school applications are coming!” Ate Lilia gave me a wrist watch from ALDO. Maybe, “it’s time!” or “time’s running out” or simply, “tick tock, tick tock” =))  Brother gave me a cutie party bag from Debenhams. I really thought it was a party bag, but when I looked at the tag... “mini doctor’s bag” =)) Lastly, ate Rosette gave me a blouse from XOXO plus a snakeskin iphone case. Her gifts were on my bed, and under the XOXO paper bag was a folder—a folder that contained a med school application printout for UERM =)) very concrete =))

Honestly, I’m so stressed right now. Pressured, indeed. But you know what? After considering a lot of alternatives aside from Med school...I’m still choosing Med school. I made a promise to my Mom and Dad; I’m not just going to keep it...wait until I make it real :)
