New year, new you! Or maybe not. If you've been doing what you have to do keep up the good work. But if you've been slacking a bit, now's the time to step up your game. The beginning of a new year marks the universal time for anyone who hasn't been doing what they are supposed to do to get it together. You have about five more months to go before the semester ends so now's your time to push to the finish. I know you're probably drained with all that you've been doing thus far (that is if you have been doing what your supposed to be doing), but the hard work you're putting in will certainly pay off. It may be hard to see the rewards of all the long hours of studying you're putting in now, but it will all be worth it in the end. There's a saying that goes, "begin with the end in mind" and if you think like this, you may find it easier to get through the tough times. And are the tough times really that though? What are you really complaining about...studying? Get over it. And if you think these are tough times, just wait until you get into medical school. If you don't realize it at this point, studying is an inevitable part of your life as a pre-med student. So you might as well find a way to make the best of it. For now, there will always be tests to take, there will always be reports to write, and there will always be reading to get done. So let's face it...if you're really trying to do this doctor thing, know what it is that you're in for and make the best of it. Now's not the time to be sulking over how much you have to do. Don't worry, spring break will be here sooner that you know, so try to keep yourself together until then. Let spring break be your reward for doing what you're supposed to do.
