I asked meta AI to make me at the Met Gala, idk but it’s giving #fashion right ?! 😂

Quick question: does your school do normal physiology year 1, and path year 2? Or do you do both both years? My favorite resources for the pre clinical years are definitely AMBOSS and uworld. Anki really helped me but to be honest if I could go back in time I think another method would have been better as I think I remember things better when I understand them as a whole, vs a card you know, but those little details do help a bit for step. The most important thing when doing uworld questions is to understand the question, and why you got it wrong/right, not just if you got the answer right/wrong. I added a couple of things during step 1 study, let me know if you want to see thooseee! #premed #acceptedtomedicalschool #medstudent #medicalschool #anki #amboss #step1study #futuredoctor

Hello, is it me you’re looking for? (Also anyone else completely and utterly obsessed with this Royel Otis Cover) BUT THE REAL QUESTION… do you think balance in medicine is possible? #medicalschool #medicalstudent #premed #mominmedicine #futuredoctor #balanceinmedicine

Well it was bootcamp week for M3 There was epic training, reminders of my lack of skill with ultrasound, and meeting lots of new people, as I join a totally new class to me! It definitely felt strange being surrounded by people that all know each other I accidentally happened across my reflection on starting M2 (see pix) It’s funny how I said then M1 me wouldn’t recognize M2 me I wonder what M1 me would think about M3 me 😂 Im married Decided to change my last name after years of saying I would never I’m a mom :) I havnt really intentionally reflected on this all yet, I am soooo happy. My life honestly feels whole. I’m so excited to get back to school, to finally be working in the clinic, and come back to the best snuggles in the world :)

Got my third year rotation schedule! What do you think? I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. At my school we get to choose the place of two rotations. Which ones do you think I chose to place haha 👀 Extra concerns I had were night shifts and 24 hour shifts when thinking about my little one. Cant believe I’ll be back to medical school in a few months. Soaking up all the stay at home mom life while I can :) Soooo is this a good schedule or nah?!

All’s fair in skipped anki sessions.

“I don’t have time for that” Time. We all get the same amount. Isn’t it interesting to see what we do with it? Nothing has made me realize the value of time more, when to make the most of it, and when to allow it to pass slowly, than having a baby. And not just any baby- I swear, the world’s clingiest baby. Anyways, heres what I’ve been up to lately 1. Just a tbt to the best day of my life meeting my baby :) 2. Working on more research w baby present. This is challenging haha but we’re making it work 3. This is what waking up before baby wakes for day looks like. I recently got uworld for step 2 so I’ve been trying to add that into my routine 4. My new fave game, ramen fury. We also play exploding kittens a lot 5. Cute baby Happy 2024!

Let’s get controversial. Maybe? Mom guilt is real. It’s not difficult to feel like if you’re doing good In being a mom, you’re slacking in something else, and vice versa. And I’m saying this without even being back in school yet. That being said, this post may make a few people feel mom guilt, it’s not really my intention, but this is one of those things we need to stop just saying “make the most of it” and actually talk about it. As yall probably know, I CHOSE to take a year off of school to be fully present for babies first year, I made this decision without knowing what life with a baby was even really like. Before having a baby 6 weeks of maternity leave sounded fine, even long. My goodness it sounded like a vacation. But -after having a baby myself? 6 weeks is egregious. It is violence. And my heart breaks for those moms and babies, and for me, knowing I may not get to make this choice again. But here is the problem. In life, and on social medial. We all want to be happy. We all strive to see the positive in our situations, none of us want to feel like bad parents. So, we tell ourselves, it’s ok. When we do this, when we say things like, at least the time I spend with my baby is good, or quality over quantity, you become a part of the problem. You are telling the system it’s ok to rip you away from a baby, an infant, who to them, you are literally their entire world. Don’t. Im not saying this to make anyone feel guilty. I desperately want the women, the mothers, who come after me, to have more choice. To have more time with their infants, to heal, before they are, essentially, forced, back into their positions. So don’t say it’s ok. Fight for yourself to have better. Fight for your babies to have better. Fight for the future. Anyways, I love this baby sooo much I can’t even explain it to you :) That’s all…. For now.
