Taking on the pre-medical track as an undergraduate is daunting, to say the least. It is a path of requirements, research, internships, stress, organic chemistry, stress, applying to med school, stress, MKAT, STRESS. Not to mention dealing with other obnoxious humans that feel the need to make uninformed comments such as...

1."She/he is majoring in pre-med."

Pre-med. Is. Not. A. Major. It's a list of requirements for medical school. WE AREN'T MAJORING IN PRE-MED THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE GRAMMATICALLY.

2."Wow that is so many requirements."

Yes, we know. We're the ones doing it, remember? But thanks for reminding us of the many courses we must take for our so called "major". (see 1)

3."So are you in it for the money?

Are you really asking this to an undergraduate currently looking at years of student loans? Really?

4."That is so hard."

WE KNOW.

5."She/he is majoring in bio something or another."

Not all pre-meds major in some form of science. Many decide to study the humanities. It isn’t just me. IT ISN’T.

6."Good luck in orgo."

Yes, we have to take organic chemistry. But we will do well, with or without your mocking good lucks.

7.”Lol you actually have to watch your GPA in college."

YEAH, IT'S HILARIOUS.

8."So are you doing this for your parents?"

Some of us actually want to be doctors and take all these classes and YES be more stressed because it's worth it.

9.”Do you want to be like those doctors on hospital TV dramas?"


No…maybe…whatever.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
