Pre-Med, Smee-Schmed.

The trials and tribulations of an undergraduate pre-med student.

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Daily, we are surrounded by a looming cloud of fears, doubts and anticipated failures. And when that first rain drop falls, when it actually rains, it pours. So, do yourself a favor: carry an umbrella.

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Anatole France

I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Henry David Thoreau

Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. it’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.

Barack Obama

The smallest goal achieved stands taller than the grandest intention. Do whatever your heart leads you to do — but do it.

Dan Zadra

Character is what you have left when you’ve lost everything you can lose.

Exactly three years, three months and thirty days until matriculation.

Do you know what that means? That after these three years, three months and thirty days we’ll finally be (hopefully) closer to achieving the goal we’re wholeheartedly set on.

Keep doing you fellow pre-meds! :)

People cannot discover new lands until they have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
