MATCH DAY WAS TODAY! I’m staying at Uchicago and am very happy. But the days leading up to match were exhausting and anxiety-provoking. Besides that, the public way that we ‘celebrate’ match day is difficult to handle for those whose plans have been curtailed by match, or who have to take a different path. It’s hard to process that information in front of a lot of different people, some of whom might be starting the path that you thought you’d be on, all of whom are looking for your reaction to your results. It’s exhausting. Pretty sure I burned up all of my emotional energy in the time preceding match and am now spending my last day as an exhausted heap. Anyway, I’m a firm believer that we all end up where we’re at for a reason, and that all will be well! So ALL WILL BE WELL! Be excited guys we’re doctorsssss #medschool #medicine #medicalschool #clerkship #medlife #relatable #medstudent #uchicago #pritzker #psom #womeninmedicine #graphicmedicine #scrubs #premed #em #ed #matchday #internalmedicine #wellness
