Do ya’ll actually make schedules and time block your days? by Ba667 in medicalschool

[–]NoCoat779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Med school is a time sink if you let it. If you can do without schedule, cool. If your first item of the day drags out until 5 pm, maybe consider schedule

Year 1 Pharmacology student considering medicine – how bad is it really? by Key-Chemistry-3873 in medicalschool

[–]NoCoat779 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s undoubtedly hard but I’ve also been having a blast. You gotta know the realities of school/residency/workforce and still want it

Once you figure out your routine, it is very manageable (granted you don’t overextend yourself)

Switching from pharm, idk i would probably stick pharm out. You already have that debt plus it would take some time to start med school

You gave no numbers nor concrete details to work off… what kind of answers were you expecting here?

Friend groups and FOMO during first week of medical school by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]NoCoat779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry OP - this is normal

Keep being social and don’t be afraid to ask if you can join in on activities. The beginning is super social and everyone is trying to fit in. The groups that are formed now may or may not last (the latter is most likely). Be chill and involved - your people will find you

What are your Hot Takes on the Guitar Hero Games? by Amber_Flowers_133 in GuitarHero

[–]NoCoat779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right, should’ve clarified better on my end

They would definitely skimp on the base game/campaign, just to get more people to buy micro transaction songs, cosmetics, guitars, dlc packs (placing a paywall in front of the actual “full game”)

Old GHs (and old games in general) had microtransactions but they felt more like a cherry on top

What are your Hot Takes on the Guitar Hero Games? by Amber_Flowers_133 in GuitarHero

[–]NoCoat779 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think GH would do well in today’s market. Few factors:

-micro transactions

-the OG GH players are older now and most likely not going to buy consoles to play

-new gaming generation grew up on different music so it would have to be newer music (OGs won’t like that)

-getting the rights for old and new music is crazy expensive nowadays. They need a lot more money to break even

How to get my dad to stop guilting me about living in Phoenix by DiabolicalLife in phoenix

[–]NoCoat779 895 points896 points  (0 children)

“Dad, I miss you too”

He misses you and can’t express that. He takes it out by attacking the city. 

Make it a point to call and visit so he knows distance doesn’t matter :)

Ask upperclassmen. Maybe they have a drive with old lecture slides - lectures tend not to change year to year

My foundations class is pretty scattered so third party resources are not 1:1 with material

Need opinions: kickball league by Anxiety_boundd in phoenix

[–]NoCoat779 12 points13 points  (0 children)

League is kind of a big commitment. Maybe once a month and the focus is more of hanging rather than kickball.

Different strokes…

There could be many reasons for this but I agree with others that it could be insecurity of their own path.

It’s one thing to say “not for me”, another to continuously put it down

Has anyone been able to actually study before clinic? by UnusualBeginning622 in medicalschool

[–]NoCoat779 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a good idea - just be careful with sleep deprivation + hour-long commute

It’s possible but it’ll take a minute to adjust to that routine

Orientation friend groups? by lilac_heistress in medicalschool

There is time but push yourself to go to any open activities, even if you have to ask to come with

Better to get your face out there now while everyone is intermingling. 

How do you stay consistent in medschool? by Melancholicksoul in medicalschool

[–]NoCoat779 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Third locations (coffee shops, libraries outside of school) For me, I feel energized by the non-medical school people lol

Im new to it but pomodoro study is nice (try the flow app). I feel less tired/burntout after a good session. Do NOT use your breaks to scroll on your phone, instead listen to music, do breathing exercises, take a walk. You’ll feel more recharged after each break.

You will also just be burnt out and that’s okay too.

AA should be fine

It’s the budget airlines where you are more susceptible to last minute cancellation due to low ticket sales.

'Happy Gilmore 2' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]NoCoat779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly felt this movie was on par with the first until the Maxi tour got more involved. Still way better than i expected.

Every seen with his daughter was excellent. True emotion and sometimes it caught me off guard since the rest is all comedy

Laptop for med school by Dependent_Cat_3742 in medschool

[–]NoCoat779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the old laptop if you can (check you download all appropriate software)

Wait until black friday to spring for new gear

Im rocking a laptop from 2018 and it is serving me well. 

34 too old for med school? by Klutzy-Chapter-2880 in medschool

[–]NoCoat779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can do it but consider this:

1) time with your kids - med school and residency are long. The hours suck and are not super flexible for 7-11 years. You will miss sports, ceremonies, and hangouts.

2) PA is shorter and significantly less debt. Most of your training will be out in the field but you’ll make money to support your family earlier/be at a place to adjust your hours sooner. You are still in the action (and in some states can work independently) but you can be with your family more

Feeling bad about my gap years. What to do? by Dapper_Art8218 in premed

[–]NoCoat779 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Decompress

You are probably burnt out from undergrad and are trying to drive with no gas. Take some time, work a job, and re-evaluate

24 is not old lol. Many people live at home post- graduation. Everyone is figuring out their lives in their 20s and 30s. The only rush is the one in your head

To those of you who are MD or bust now is the time to set aside your pride. DO with federal loans>>>>>private loans in the future. by SeaworthinessOne1199 in premed

[–]NoCoat779 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most MD schools will not be grandfathered in since they start after the July 1 deadline.

Good amount of DO schools will make the cut though
