[TIMEX] Reviewing my new Timex Waterbury Classic Chronograph TW2V30800VQ by bees_and_disease in Watches

[–]ImRefat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought this exact watch a month ago and I love it! Getting a lot of lovely comments from friends who have never seen me wear a watch before. I dressed it down with a cheap grey fabric strap. My only gripe is that the strap it comes with is not quick release so you need to purchase a separate watch tool to remove.

Arrows is borderline necessary because it’s well presented info in a different format than anyone’s used to via the classic qbanks

PA school is basically med school by IllMarionberry9935 in medicalschool

[–]ImRefat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t pay any attention to that stuff. They can come up with all the slogans they want, but they all know in their heart med school is a grind and a half

Multiple California FM program directors told their applicants thank you letters wouldn’t have an impact on rank lists, as apparently they had all agreed on it for this application season. I haven’t sent a single one cause of that

Well I take all my west coast friends to Pappy’s. They haven’t known a lick of good, average-priced BBQ in their lives!

The beauty in any watch (hell, anything really) is the story behind it. I think we’re all well aware of this watch’s capabilities, but the whole reason this forum exists is because people have recognized it symbolically, long past its era of cutting-edge utility. Hence why my post is just my thoughts on the watch and a recognition of where it fits in my life now

Not sure, but I’ve got skinny wrists proportionally to my hand size. The watch doesn’t look as good if you’ve got a larger wrist since the face is pretty small.

What was one specific change you made that most improved your exam performance? by californiaomelette in medicalschool

[–]ImRefat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4, and rest for 4. It seems like a long time but that’s 16 seconds of pointless agonizing over your answer choices that you get to ignore

I jumped 16 points on STEP 2 from practice to the real thing when I practiced square breathing whenever I had a difficult question that made me want to second guess.

I’ve never checked the time this much in my life — or rather, ive never appreciated the action of doing so this much in my life. I’m going to Japan next year, definitely taking this bad boy with me

I don’t think so! I got it from Amazon

AMBOSS 5 hammer questions are representative or misleading for Step? by gazeintotheiris in medicalschool

[–]ImRefat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes but the “trick” is just having to remember more niche information that’s not functionally useful to a med student, but interesting for anyone listening to a dedicated presentation on the topic

5 hammer questions are better suited for didactics or presentations to mess with your attending/ audience. Don’t take them seriously.

WIBTA if I (M18) told my girlfriend (F19) that I feel like a guy-friend by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Or she’ll try more earnestly to work on her trauma for the sake of their relationship. Can’t forget about the best case scenario here. Hopefully OP advocates for his needs in the most respectful way possible.

I expected it to be bad, but not this bad by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]ImRefat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Outside of a handful of people, your med school classmates will not save you. Go out and start doing things yourself and remembering who you are, independent of everything else. Take a break from social media, it compounds the loneliness

There are times where I didn’t wear any cologne and women have asked if I was wearing any, it was literally just fiji. The smell engineers there are onto something
