Living so close to the coast in South Carolina, I found a last-minute deal and spent a few days in Myrtle Beach with my dad and cousin.

Hi Reader - I hope you are having a Sunday full of rest and relaxation. This week, I’m diving into my summer plans, sharing pediatrics clerkship tips, and sharing some application cycle resources! What's New with You? IT'S FINALLY SUMMER!! Usually, you hear that the summer after MS1 is your only ~real~ summer of medical school.

This week I’m diving into my last week of days as a sub-I, sharing medicine rotation tips, and dropping some reminders for those of you applying this cycle! What's New with You? I just wrapped up Week 3 of my Pediatrics Sub-I. For this rotation, I do three weeks of day shift (7am-6pm) and one week of evening shift (5:30pm-11pm).

There is nothing like a 49 hour work week to welcome me into my pediatrics sub-I. I was so nervous going into this week because, as med students, we always want to impress. I had also been on some chiller rotations, so I expected an adjustment period getting back into the 10-12 hour work days. But I lucked out...
