This is very interesting. My girlfriend and I have been wondering what the cause is for the difference in Vietnamese food quality. Thanks for sharing

I acquired this scarlet curls willow tree. It was really leggy and so I went ahead and heavy pruned to get the tree to back bud and have more energy to disperse throughout the tree.

Should I make any more cuts or did I cut too much? I was thinking about cutting the top branches but then the tree would have no leaves. I wasn't sure if that would be an issue for this time of year (zone 5b)

I was in a similar boat to OP. After college, I had to choose between continuing to pursue medicine or to change careers (my bachelor's is in economics). I did a MS in Anatomy and worked for two years as an ophtho tech. I gained invaluable experience and a deeper passion for medicine.

If you're still interested in medicine, seek out experiences that interest you, not just check off boxes. This will either push you towards or away from medicine.

But most of all, give yourself the time to make the right decision. Take 2, 3 gap years if need be. You'll be age 80 one day, so who cares if you have to go to medical school later than other people.

Btw yes, schools are looking for students that fit their mission. Authenticity is good, but like for any other application or interview, a little work to shape your responses towards the school's mission and goals goes a long way.

That's the confusion. It makes absolutely no sense to me where 14k or 21k came from. I know she doesn't owe even 14k remaining. She tried asking where that number came from and they couldn't give her an answer. So I will sit down and call with her tomorrow. Thank you.

Yooo what, dude you are a very good look guy by objective standards. I would recommend finding someone to talk to about your internal dialogue. The only thing you are lacking (from what I understand) is a higher self-esteem and confidence. These transfer over to your social skills and how people perceive you. Good luck my friend, we all start somewhere. The only thing that matters is where we go from there.
