I’m only 18, but I feel like my life is already a failure.

I had a bad childhood due to financial problems and mental health issues. Same thing for my teenage years.

I have no friends because of these mental health problems (anxiety). People in my small ahh town are disgusted by me because I used to have a crush on a girl as another girl (I was 14 and I never even talked to her).

I’m ugly, I have undesirable traits and I’m short as fuck.

I’m currently studying so I can make it to a good university and move out of this fuckass town. But honestly I hate that I can’t change the things that impact me the most, my upbringing and my appearance.

Just venting.

I noticed sometimes there’s a small slice of cake next to people’s usernames. Other people will say happy cake day in response. Why and when does this happen?

As an international, is it easier to do my undergraduate degree + medical school in the US or go to medicine college (MBBS) in my country then do the USMLE?

I initially thought it would be easier if I completed my whole education in the US, then go through the matching process. Then I read most medical schools don’t accept internationals, even if their undergrad degree is from an American university.

So that means it’s easier to just do medicine college in my country, complete the USMLE and match? I know that it’s less expensive to study in my own country, but from an academic standpoint only, is it easier?

Hi, I need two app recommendations, one for tracking study and break times and one for making flashcards. What are the best apps I can find on appstore?
