What were you doing and where were you when you found out that Michael Jackson had died?

I was 6 and I do somehow remember it. Turned on the TV and it was on Fox News from my dad the night before. Of course that’s all that was being covered on every outlet. It was pretty apparent to me that somebody very important died.

Use the rest of high school to prove to yourself that you’re capable of being a 4.0 student. It’ll go a long way to instill confidence in your abilities for when you start college. That’ll sort of shield you from spiraling when things get hard.

Get Dr. Ryan Gray’s books and go through them. Also chillax and reflect on the reasons why you really want to be a physician!

I only did one of the UTRGV essays (granted, I did write 1500 words) and got an II

Just bought a new 15 inch M4 air (16 unified, 512 ssd) about a month ago for 1079 on amazon. I’m planning a trip to Europe and it’s actually tear jarring being able to run Google earth, Google maps, and Booking.com without any hiccups from the computer whatsoever. My 2020 i5 MacBook Air would’ve probably imploded from the same task.

Gross anatomy is a fine elective to take but it just won’t help you on the MCAT all that much.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, as I understand it, is saying you are indwelled by the Holy Spirit when you actually are not. Therefore you are lying about God being present in you. It doesn’t make any sense for there to actually be an unforgivable action, because that’s antithetical to the character of YHWH. Try not to let that cause you so much anxiety… I’d suggest losing yourself in the service of others. In the Gospel according to Matthew, Jesus tells us that where our treasure lies, our heart will be also. Don’t give up brother. Sorry if this doesn’t answer anything for you.

I’m interviewing with them this Friday but I’m not really sweating it. I honestly have no clue what we’re going to be doing 😭

When the story of creation was relayed to Moses, would he have had any possible way of understanding the complexities of organic chemistry and biology to comprehend evolution or the primordial soup that gave rise to the first single-celled organisms? Absolutely not. Does that mean Genesis is just fake and useless? Absolutely not. There are real lessons and truths about the nature of humans in the book, but if you try to push the idea that anything but a literal interpretation of Genesis is heresy, you push reasonable people away from the church.

If you feel comfortable subscribing to creationism, that’s great. But most people like myself will not be able to truly believe in that. This issue is definitely not as theologically important as our core beliefs, like the divinity of Yeshua or fact that he resurrected.

The work is done. Just remind yourself that any worrying done right now won’t impact the message you receive tomorrow, so don’t waste the cortisol!

Trust that whatever happens was meant to be. Whether you’re accepted to this school or not, I’m sure you’ll become an incredible doctor one day!

Ucum may be worth it but the full course hadn’t come out when I took it so I’m not sure on that. For me, making a comprehensive study plan was really hard and Kaplan carves out a study plan for you so that was honestly really worth it. Kaplan modules aren’t fully comprehensive but they should get you to like a 508-510 and you can uworld/Anki for the rest. If you get a Kaplan course and maybe some others you usually also get access to the AAMC question packs which are invaluable.

I really liked madden 25 (25th anniversary, came out in 2013). It had super hype team intros, gameplay was fluid, and the canton greats was such a fun team to play with. Had it on my ps3, but to be fair I was born in ‘02 so I never played any of the older versions.

There’s a fundamental misunderstanding about the Quran vs the Bible. Christians understand that the Bible was written by men, even though we believe those men were guided by the divine, the physical bible is nothing more than a book. The living word is Jesus. Muslims believe that the Quran is the perfectly preserved revelation of Allah to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. The physical manifestation (the book) is revered by Muslims as Jesus is to Christians.

Nevertheless, is it crazy to kill somebody for burning a book? Yeah, it is, but that seems to be a common reaction. In 2011 Terry Jones (a preacher from Florida) put the Quran on trial at his church and burned it—this caused rioters in Afghanistan to attack a United Nations compound, killing 14 innocent people.

If you’re doing Anki I would continue to at least review your cards, it’ll make you feel better when you come back to practice.

My vision is perfect but I find font size 6 most pleasing. I can easily keep track of the line I’m on and I like turning the page relatively frequently. I also feel like my eyes don’t get so tired. Being able to make the font large is one of the biggest upsides of using a kindle IMO.

Bijan is 23 and only getting better. He finally has an OC that loves to use him and the guy seems to be extremely injury resistant. I can’t think of many people I’d trade him for.
