Living on the edge
For me right now consists mostly of eating more than the listed serving size of chocolate donut holes and garden variety day drinking.

1. Realize that you’re not the only one. The reality is that most of us worry about the same kinds of things – such as whether others like us, are bored by others, or the kind of impression we’re making. 2. Try to uncover the roots of your anxiety. There may be a variety of reasons for…

science:
Why are barns painted red? Because red paint used to be cheapest. But why is red paint cheaper than other colors? Ultimately, nuclear physics. Yonatan Zunger explains. For more on stellar nucleosynthesis, see: we are all made of star stuff.

slo-med-love asked: Hi, congrats on finishing the first year! I was wondering: when does a school year start at where you're from? Because I'm the first year med student as well but we won't be finished until the end of June.
xoxo0000 asked: So I am aiming for the Ivy Leagues, I have a B- in calculus part 2, everything else is A-, A, or A+ in my freshman year. SHOULD I FREAK OUT?!!! I'M FREAKING OUT?!!! I wouldn't be if I was going for mid level med schools but Ivy Leagues?!!!

Exercise science is a fine and intellectually fascinating thing. But sometimes you just want someone to lay out guidelines for how to put the newest fitness research into practice.

AspDocs + ERmedicine present: Calm Your Tits,...
So I’ve noticed on my blog and most of the other medblrs I follow that there have been a metric crapton (units= kg/crapⁿ, n=number of craps) of asks from concerned pre-meds about their grades. It’s the end of the year. You’re getting your grades. Activate freakout mode.
I understand your concern you guys, I really do. I remember what it was like, and, back in my day, (like before 2010) there was...

Nature Diaries
I do not like nature. I am a city girl to the core.
I get sunburned if I think about the daystar (thanks, Swedish ancestors, you jerks), bugs sense my presence and tell all their friends and family than an all you can eat buffet has rolled into the neighborhood, and plants turn me into a pathetic itchy, sneezy, coughing, runny nosed ball of sadness.
However. The Cute Boy, whom I adore more than...

“F-bombs are like salt and pepper. You need to sprinkle them in every now and...”
– I teach my residents all sorts of important things on rounds (via baffledinbrooklyn)
The f word is one of my favorite words. I prefer to use it like punctuation, just so people know where commas and exclamation points would go.

laclaryce:
An Amazing medblr I’ve been following since her brother was wounded in and later passed away from his injuries from the Boston bombings, Lyla-MD needs our positive thoughts / prayers again.
She was riding her bike and was hit by a vehicle; she’s currently in a coma, and her fiancé is keeping…
Hey medblrs, lets send up some prayers Lyla’s way.

colossalmass asked: You recommended in one of your posts to be a non-science major with a minor in science. Does this in any way mean it's bad if I DO pursue exercise science as my major? I have a history of art classes as electives (some studio art, some lecture form).

Sorry I have been kind of absent from the tumblr...
Among other asundry activities, I needed to kiss the Cute Boy in a photobooth at a local fair (and get sunburned):
And have lazy morning dog cuddles:
And have a picnic and walk across the river with my beautiful friend who just got back from her ultra badass honeymoon in Europe! (she also took this pics because she is crazy talented):
It’s been very weird not having school. I...

People who walk slow in this hospital: biggest pet peeve.
ME TOO.
I’m just thinking… this is a flipping hospital. People got places to be.
There is a place for your slow poke ass and it’s a Pokemon.
Anonymous asked: I just wanted to let you know that I got invited to this ratchet party in LA and I was trying to decide whether or not I should go or stay in and be productive. But then I remembered reading your post about being interesting and doing dumb teenage shit, so I went and it definitely an experience hahaha. Thanks for that push :)

The Not Quite Doctor: The least of my people →
thenotquitedoctor:
Tonight I got guilted into working clinic. My buddy was involved in a car accident last week and has been behind in studying ever since. Doing the good-guy thing, I agreed to cover his shift despite my own looming test and scarcity of time to study.
The clinic we work at serves the uninsured. In other words, we often get difficult cases that have a multitude of...

Leaving for school
To take the last test.
I know that I’m not going to cram anything more into my brain and it’s time to grab one more cup of coffee and just do the damn thing (as the saying goes, or something like that).
I oscillate between feeling pretty good and being exciting to finish, and being completely terrified.
Here goes.
Thanks for all the well wishes and support, you guys are the...
Anonymous asked: I dont think your really religious, but I hope its okay to tell you that I prayed for your study sessions tonight and I pray you do well on your exam. I know how stressful it is, but you can do it and I pray you are calm and confident tomorrow. You can do it! (lol sorry I love your blog and just want to see you successful, sorry if this offended you in any way. I just wanted to be comforting!)
