Guy I used to work with got accepted who was honestly full of himself. Used to make fun of his own students he TA’d for, laughed at my coworker for finding orgo difficult, pretended like he didn’t know us outside of work, the list goes on. I know matriculants aren’t perfect people and that schools can’t entirely screen out ego, but it really makes me concerned how people like him can be caring doctors.

Working 8 hours and then driving an additional 40 mins to get back home wears me out so bad I just wanna rot and scroll on Instagram reels!!! I have a pile of secondaries to complete and wish I had more energy to do them after work. How do you guys do it?

I met this sweet boy in one of my college classes a few months ago, and we have been dating officially for about a month now. I met his family, all of whom are incredibly nice and respectful. He’s educated like me, has a big heart like me, and has ambitions like me. The only real difference between us is our race, but I find myself devastated and frustrated thinking about my strict parents overlooking all of his accomplishments and his personality because they will be fixated on the fact that he is black.

They are also already disapproving of the idea of me dating “at such a young age” (turning 22 this year by the way). I really like this man, and I’ve spent enough time making sure that he has good intentions with me too. How do I break the news to my parents? What do I do if I get a bad reaction?
