Biweekly Vent Thread - Week of February 5, 2020

I feel like lately I can't complain about being a reapplicant without a bunch of med students wandering into the sub (especially the M1s who applied at the same time that I did) and saying something to the effect of "dude you should be happy you didn't get in, med school sucks, if you ever get in you'll wish you were still a scribe" which is such a bullshit thing to say.

I'm 100% confident I'll enjoy med school than I'll enjoy living the life I'm living now, since I kind of completely hate my life in every respect right now tbh. But even if we assume med school is total 100% misery for 4 years for everyone and I'll hate it even more, how does that help? It's just delaying this so-called misery, not preventing it...so instead of 4 years of misery in med school I get 7 years of misery from 3 unplanned gap years plus 4 years in med school.
