What It Really Means To Want To Go Into The Medical Field

Regardless of what title you want, deciding to go into medicine is something to be proud of. Going into medicine is not something that everyone understands but for the ones that do, it's something they will never question.

Going into the medical field requires a tremendous amount of sacrifice. Going into medicine means giving more than you have. It means going to more school. It means going into more debt. It means missing out on memories because you're too busy studying. It means giving up sleep. It means making a sacrifice that not everyone can give.

But going into the medical field will always give more than it can take. It gives you a tremendous sense of accomplishment. It gives you relationships. It gives you the power to save lives. It gives you purpose, understanding, and motivation. It gives you the opportunity to change the world, to really make a difference.

Going into medicine will test your belief in God. It will test your character, your morals, and ethics. It will bring out sides of you that scare you.

It will change you and what you believe in.

But going into medicine will also make you believe in God. It will build your character and bring outside of you that inspires you, that inspire others.

It will change your life in ways you can't even begin to imagine.

Going into medicine will make you feel a million emotions in the span of just minutes. There will be times where you breakdown sobbing asking God why. But there will also be days that make you so happy that it's indescribable. Practicing medicine makes you feel alive. It's an addiction. It's something we couldn't imagine our lives without and that is why we chose to go into medicine.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
