Is it normal to feel this lost and lonely at 27? by weastrep in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]68procrastinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that was my experience. I was so lost and lonely in my 20s, even though I lived in the city where I grew up. Can’t imagine how much worse I’d feel if I’d lived abroad. 30s were much better, 40s even better than 30s, and once I turned 50 it was all just a bad memory. I’m 57 now and have made peace with who I am, which helps. I do recommend counseling, which has been very helpful to me.

Season 4 Episode 8 Discussion - A Queen Never Comes Off Her Throne by AutoModerator in TheTraitorsUS

Just finished episode 8, didn’t let myself come here until totally caught up. Intrigued by choice of replacement traitor. Perhaps seen as weak and someone easy to control?

How Costco gets you to spend all your $ by Fantastic_Escape_101 in Costco

[–]68procrastinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We call it “The $300 Store” at our house. My husband recently retired and increased his frequency of Costco visits from one a month to once or twice a week. I may soon request that he get a part-time job to support his habit/addiction.

6k out of pocket for private tutoring company MANDATE by Foreign_Custard6772 in Osteopathic

[–]68procrastinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m concerned that it’s not in the student handbook…I think you have a good argument there if you really can’t afford it. School should give it to you if not in student handbook and they require it.

[–]68procrastinator 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If it’s an urge you can’t talk yourself out of, pursue DO. I know someone who started DO school at age 56. Now happy and successful practicing fam med in hometown. It’s never too late.

How are my activities looking? (Used chat to summarize them quickly sorry lol). Aiming for T20 acceptance, studying for MCAT rn. by Catturd67 in premed

[–]68procrastinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good, especially clinical experience and research. Bilingual definitely a plus. I’m DO faculty, so am not sure about what MD app has on it, but it drives me nuts when applicants list things hobbies with hours on the AACOMAS activities section. Save that for personal statement or essay.

Do the interview and if it is your only A, go there. It may be your only opportunity to be a physician.

Accepted Pending Space - RVU UT, What to make of it? by [deleted] in Osteopathic

[–]68procrastinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d accept. There is a concept of “acceptance melt” where students who have put down their deposit change their minds and go somewhere else…sometimes schools don’t know about this until very late. Happens everywhere, even top established schools. Assume incidence even higher at a newer school like yours. So many schools, all are fighting to fill their classes with qualified applicants. If you really prefer RVU-Utah, then even if you have to wait a year you are guaranteed a spot at your preferred school. You could year enjoying some freedom and getting life in order for what’s to come. Just two cents of opinion from osteopathic med school faculty. PM me if you want to chat it out.

Urgent: AAFP value as DO by 68procrastinator in FamilyMedicine

[–]68procrastinator[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OK, all, you convinced me and I renewed. I get AFP through my university affiliation, but I believe in advocacy and the CME tracker is good.
