What's New With You?

My social calendar was packed to the brim this week, which was unusual for me as an introvert who relies on my alone time to recharge.

Monday, we hosted a Galentine's Day celebration with a pasta bar, lots of sweet treats, and trinket decorating. It was so fun getting my girls together and catching up!

Tuesday, my friend hosted a Lunar New Year dinner. I learned how to make dumplings, but probably consumed much more than I made (we made 300 total!!!).

I also went shopping three separate times (including to the NYC Macy's that has ELEVEN floors). I grabbed this pair of American Eagle jeans because I tried on my sister's and immediately fell in love. I also fell in love with the cutest outfit for Match Day, but it is $320. It will not sit right with my soul to spend that much money, so let's pray it goes on sale!

Outside of that, I am entering the last week of my Culinary Medicine elective, so I am locked in this weekend and upcoming week working on all of my assignments and final project. One more week of this elective + two weeks of Transition to Residency stand between me and graduation!!!

Chat soon,

For the next few weeks, I am focusing on preparing for The Match and my final requirements for medical school. The Med Student Corner will return in April. If you need anything in the meantime or have ideas for future series, just reply to this email or message me on Instagram!

Match Day Countdown

​

I feel like I've been living in this weird decision paralysis state where all of my brain energy is going to thinking about The Match.

BUT I certified my Rank Order List this week!

Honestly, it feels like a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. I put a lot of thought and prayer into my final list, so I am committed to not changing/re-certifying it.

And I wish I could say that submitting it got rid of all of the worry, but it's still there. I don't know if it will dissipate on the Monday of Match Week, when I find out where I'm headed on Friday of Match Week, once I start residency, or ever. But I am happy to be one step closer!
