Social Life during Med School

just finished yl1 and hopefully makapag proceed sa yl2 🤞 i'd like to share my thoughts lang din from the past year of my life.

transitioning from basically a BS Org type of college student na present in any events sa school and laging busy about org works more than acads, tho i still managed to balance the two, to only doing one thing in med school, which is to study and study and study, maraming times talaga na sobrang umay ko na sa sarili kong company. i have friends naman pero iba yung studying habits namin kaya most of the times i just study alone. siguro nasanay lang din ako to be surrounded most of the times by a lot of people with different interests. tas ngayon is purely med na naka surround sakin, which isn't a bas thing lmao it should be like that.

my point siguro is that only in med school did i feel the loneliest in my life. nawala na yung community ko from the organizations ive been involved in before kasi im in a different school na, and yung community ko lang sa school is yung classmates ko tsaka seniors, yun lang. yung college friends ko are already busy with their own lives, and thriving at that. tas wala rin akong jowa, kasi friends lang din talaga yung turingan ko with my batchmates.

the only thing i look forward to every week is makapaglaro ng sports, either to run, tennis, badminton, or pickleball, basta may magawang ibang bagay aside from med. and minsan din nawawalan na ako ng gana magstudy kaya naglalaro nalang ako and nacocomoromise yung study time ko. and ive been trying to find communities din, and found people naman pero di ko rin magawang available always yung sarili ko so di talaga constant yung presence ko sa communities na yun huhu. at this point is naghahanap talaga yung system ko ng magagawa na hindi med-related. di talaga ako mapakali kung walang ibang bagay na magawa kasi i feel so drained na sa pagstudy, and i know i should be focusing on that talaga, pero i just have to do something else.

how do i balance medicine with other things ba without compromising my studies and how do i cope with this loneliness huhu
