Home is Where the Heart is

1. You'll most probably die from stress before graduating.
2. Paracetemol a.k.a is your best friend
3. Besides your lecture notes, the library and anything that doesn't involve fun.
4. Oh, that includes the MMS too.
5. You'll suffer and worry constantly about your exams, PBL, CSU and your AIR topic all at once.
6. Worry about your electives which means that you'll need to be attached to a hospital for ONE MONTH.
7. Which is during your holidays btw.
8. Which also means you'll need to see your grouchy mentor which you've never seen since the dawn of time.
9. Which ALSO means you don't have any holidays at all.
10. BECAUSE your holidays are spent doing your elective.
11. Minus the fact you get a few measly days of holidays because of the CNY.
12. That you'll love Malaysia for its multiple public holidays since the yellow shaded boxes in your calendar marked "SCHOOL HOLIDAY" no longer applies to you.
13. That you'll wish that you stay near your uni cuz that will mean that you can wake up 5 minutes before anything and still be on time.
14. That you'll be eating unhealthily despite being a med student.
15. That you'll constantly see pictures of food being compared to different lesions and wounds.
16. That you'll miss your social and personal life all at once.
17. That you wish you can have someone to rant all your problems to.
18. That you will sometimes wonder, "Am I prepared to suffer for the rest of my life for my dreams?"
19. That you'll begin to re-evaluate your whole life's values.
20. That you'll type out 20 random things about what being a med student is like.

Haha. Of course, number 19 really applies to me. Re-evaluating your life values ain't easy. And its just a small step into the world of the 'adults'. Right now, I'm just an immature kid who's living in a life filled with adults and older people. =P

Growing up ain't easy. No one ever said it was. Maturing and growing up are two different things that are one. =(

Wish someone gave me a warning ><
