Banana pudding made me do it...
What's the worst part about being an overly anxious pre-medical student? I have terrible self-destructing habits! When I was younger, I used to pull out strands of hair until one day I found a bald spot and I decided to stop (with an awful growing back phase). My whole life I have struggled with nail biting and as of late, my face has started to break-out. Guess what I do? I pull out the, ALL OF A SUDDEN, non-bitten nails to poke the face. As a result I am constantly trying to use countless methods to cover up the redness and scars that could easily be avoided if I could just STOP or control the stress that I think I ignore. But alas, some subconscious part of me is screaming, "save me!" I guess that is part of the reason I decided to start this blog. Not sure who or if anyone will read this, but I'd love to talk about my journey in pursuing medicine. From HS and undergrad stories to the MCAT and AMCAS cycle. This idea came to me awhile ago, but I made no effort to do it and I had time to ponder over some banana pudding, and now here I am. I really hope that this will help ease my stress because I have a vent system AND I truly hope that I can inspire someone to continue on their pre-heatlh or other dream path.

ReplyDeleteThank you Andrea! It's great to know I am not the only one, I am trying to stop (for the billionth time). I will try my best to post 1-2 times a week :)
