About to graduate and am premed. Just wanted to say:
FUCK BEING A PREMED
This was the worst fucking thing I’ve ever done with my life. This path is genuinely so stupid. I feel like I’ve aged ten years. Blood pressure on shit, hair falling out, skin dehydrated, stress wrinkles, and eye bags. And all for a fuckass minuscule chance at getting into med school. I used to be a MOTHERFUCKING TWINK. I USED TO PULL.
Not worth it. So not worth it. Only four years but istg it does something spiritually demonic to you. And it’s so crazy that with how med school admissions are now and how BAD the job market is, if you don’t get in it’s genuinely so over for you. So much time volunteering, researching, running orgs, kissing fkn asshole building ZERO skills outside of this niche field— you graduate with zero energy and absolutely not a single skill besides knowing how to study.
Whatever, fuck this, fuck me. I should’ve studied philosophy bc at least I would’ve liked my four years instead of being miserable, right before being unemployed regardless.
To the premeds: good luck. I feel for you. Idk go read Mary Oliver’s poem about not needing to be good drop premed.
