Super excited to be back in Denmark , after a one-year research fellowship at Harvard . And what a journey! The privatized American healthcare- and educational systems are so very different from our left-leaning Scandinavian models♀️. I’m not sure which is better.... High tax-rates with free healthcare and education vs. the American dream . Anyway, I’m a little worn out on this picture , but i think it turned out pretty good nonetheless? Have a great day guys
You’d assume I was thinking of something really complex, when in reality I was just trying to figure out what I was going to have for dinner.

Then I thought about my insulin levels an hour after my meal, glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and glycogenesis. Which then led me to go over all of the peptide hormones, steroid hormones, and tyrosine derivatives and what they do.
Welcome to my thought process.
You’d be surprised how often students ask, “What's the best #premed major?” or “What major will increase my chances of getting into #medicalschool?”
I don’t think they actually believe me when I tell them to major in whatever they want.
You should major in something that excites you, not something you think will look good to medical schools.
Find a major you'll be passionate about, so you can take the upper-level classes and be excited to do more than the bare minimum work.
Find a major you'll be able to talk about passionately in your medical school interviews.
Liberal arts majors are great for med school. So are the hard sciences. Pick what you love. It's not going to hold you back from becoming a doctor.

Being smart isn't the limiting factor in becoming a physician. It comes down to being a hard worker and being willing to devote yourself to this.
That's why it's so important to know why you're doing this. Becoming a doctor for the prestige or to make your parents happy may not be enough to motivate you through 80-hour work weeks in #residency. Get #shadowing and clinical experience to know you really want this.

Throwback to when I actually had the time to look cute...
On a different note, I’m about a month out from my MCAT and it still hasn’t hit me yet that I’m taking it. I’m about six chapters away from being done with content review, but there’s still so much practice to be done.
I take my next full length practice exam on Friday. Hopefully I’ve improved my score like I have the last two times. Pray 4 me pls.
