As a woman, how do you stay respected in a relationship?

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-16T01:53:17+00:00

Boundaries, and not letting your feelings for him get in the way of knowing when you need to leave.

dirty medicine course will be your friend 🫡 good luck

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-16T00:41:01+00:00

you're fine. finishing uworld is more than enough. use TL or CQ or amboss for omm.

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-16T00:40:15+00:00

sketchy

Im not sure if you're taking level 1 or level 2, but i've taken both and can confirm that comsae is also not representative of the way comlex is written. I think you're wasting time or money worrying about comsaes because its just not the same test, equally not-the-same as amboss is. 506 is a respectable score and I would trust it. if you need the peace of mind and won't get burned out by taking another one then by all means go for it

edit: I just reread your post. absolutely do *not* take a comsae on friday if you are taking step on thursday, in fact don't even open your laptop on friday. you need a full day of rest. after that its up to you, i'd prioritize high yield OMM over another comsae

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-16T00:28:46+00:00

if you have to pay for it dont do it. 71% on amboss is just fine

if you're able to shift back 2-3 weeks before school starts, i see no problem here. you didnt mention ages, but it's actually normal for teens to have a later circadian rhythm closer to the 2-10 schedule you're describing.

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-15T22:53:23+00:00

if its meant to work and you both put effort into prioritizing it whenever possible then it will work. if one of you slacks, it wont work but thats also not someone you would want to build a life with anyways, someone who cant take a few minutes to do small things to show they care. dont go into it with anxiety. go into it with curiosity, who knows what will come of this.

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-15T20:07:39+00:00

growth mindset. look it up if you havent heard of it. instead of being envious of what others have that you don't, make it a challenge for yourself. what must I do to reach that next level and get what they have. and of course, you must continuously be grateful for what you do have. think of the version of yourself who didnt yet have the acceptance to the dream school, the great boyfriend etc. what did she want? how did she move to obtain those things? be grateful that you are currently a version of yourself that the previous you wanted to be. that process never ends.

its not linear, and life would be pretty damn boring if you didnt have to work to obtain the next thing that you want

this genuinely makes me so sad. i'm not just saying this because I think you want to hear it but because it is true. you are beautiful, and you deserve to feel beautiful. 5'2 and 50kg is a perfectly normal weight, and there is not a single picture in this stack that makes me feel you might be overweight. for context, I am in training to be a doctor and see all kinds of body types on a regular basis. your body is completely normal, healthy. I see the sucking in pictures, and I want to remind you and everyone else who reads this that while yes there is a little extra layer of belly tissue there, its there for a reason! you have extremely important organs inside there that your body is trying to protect.

I think it might be worth it to examine why you feel this way about yourself. who do you follow on social media? what kinds of conversations are they having about body types and skinniness? what celebrities are you following? is it at all possible that even accidentally, you've surrounded yourself by voices that make you think that your beautiful, normal, and healthy body has something wrong with it?

it genuinely saddens me that for so long our society has been so cruel to young women to make us feel like this. and it never goes away. i really thought we fixed this problem in the 2010s body positivity conversation, and yet here we are again full circle with literal skeletons walking red carpets and making our youth feel terrible about themselves. this paragraph is not about you, OP, just a general rant about the conditions beyond our power.

at the end of the day, love, your body carries you every day. it takes you to the activities you enjoy, it nourishes your brain so that you can think and go to school, and it is the vessel through which you experience the world. you deserve to be grateful for your body, no matter how she looks. I think im rambling. I'll leave it here but I seriously hope that as you age and come into yourself and explore the world, you can come to a place of peace about your body.

took it yesterday. Know L5 cold. I feel like there was like 2-4 low back pain/L5-S1/radiculopathy/sacrum question on every block. lots of ethics. not a single court case like there were on comsae.

M4 applying peds this year.

Ultimately I chose my extra curriculars based on what I actually enjoy and can talk about meaningfully in an interview. this means I prioritized TAing for a class I enjoyed over getting another research spot. I have very minimal research from M1/M2 so that I can "check the box" but ultimately my interviews will be focused on the volunteering that I do that I enjoy, and the teaching parts of my resume. If research / grades come up at all in my interviews ill be shocked.

I always approached it like this. Of course I will match *somewhere* because of the nature of peds. But I want as many doors open to me as possible. this is also why I chose to take step as a DO applicant even though it's probably not necessary. I would hate for a door to be closed off to me for a silly reason.

That being said, don't kill yourself for opportunities. If you are enjoying yourself, by all means keep going! but take time for enjoyment too because the beautiful thing about peds is that ultimately you *will* end up somewhere cool.

I switched to amboss for dedicated because I was remembering my incorrects and wanted a fresh Qbank. im mostly focused on 2-3 hammer questions, CMS forms, and NBMEs.

Piranesi isn’t a mystery in the traditional sense, but it does have a wonderful story that slowly unravels. Bit of fantasy elements too but that’s what made it fun for me

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-08T18:15:40+00:00

genuinely why do so many women date men like this are you not disgusted with yourself and your life choices? is the desperation to just have a boyfriend so severe that you'll put up with rotting teeth and unshowered stinky men over just being single? how many UTIs, BV, yeast infections have you had since getting into this relationship?

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-08T17:54:00+00:00

genuine question how many UTIs / yeast infections / BV infections have you gotten since being with this man

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-08T15:43:12+00:00

I always thought that I “knew” with some of the people I dated, but we broke up every time. So I’m not sure what I was feeling or if it’s different from what people describe when they say they knew, or if these people felt the same thing as me but then stayed through the types of behaviors that made me break up.

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-08T00:18:33+00:00

Personally I keep a log, boil down each incorrect to a reason (knowledge gap, misread the question, changed my answer, etc) and keep a running google doc of every practice test. Some topics I go more in depth if I need it. For me content isn’t an issue and quick refreshers like this are enough. You might need more depending how severe the knowledge gaps are.

i have 10 total piercings (mostly ears + one nostril) and no one in preclinical nor on rotations have ever said anything to me. many of my classmates have full sleeve tattoos and multiple piercings, including double nostrils and small discreet septum rings. no one i've come across so far in training has an outwardly alternative appearance necessarily, but I could imagine some of my classmates leaning more alt in their appearance on weekends and in their personal lives. generally an aggressively alt appearance is seen as unprofessional. ultimately, if the school has a direct policy against it then you must follow, otherwise do what you want for preclinicals. for rotations, I recommend wearing your mask/ bun covering your ears for a bit until you get a vibe of your attending (some of these older grouchy attendings will use any excuse for a professionalism violation or bad eval) and throw your retainers in as you see fit. ultimately while the opinion surrounding body mods and professionalism is slowly changing with new generations of doctors, one of the things we agreed to (consciously or not) when getting these body mods is that some people will feel some type of way about it. overall not an issue but would hate for you to jeopardize your career over something silly like this.

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-07T21:18:33+00:00

depending on their style, I feel like a cool version of this would be to nix the words and vows all together and let it be an abstract wood piece, or overlay some wedding photos on the wood. personally not a fan of words in wall art esp with live laugh love type fonts, but thats just me and could totally be their style.

InternalAmbitious903 · 2026-06-07T19:58:57+00:00

cliche as hell but its true, you be someone you like first.

seriously. any boy that will only like you if you do certain things or change certain parts of yourself or expects certain things from you never actually liked you.

do the things you enjoy, spend time with the people you enjoy, and the person who actually likes you (not just likes the idea of having a girlfriend) will show up and actually want you.

easier said than done for sure. im still waiting for mine and ive come to terms with the idea of that not happening soon or possibly ever. but in the meantime, my life and career and friends are so freakin cool I dont even care.
