When in Doubt, Remember these things.

You'll need these motivational quotes in medical school.

It serves as a remembrance that positive thinking goes a long, long way.

It differs from various students however.

I, on the other hand benefit so much from reading these.

It makes me want to persevere more.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

A.M.'s thought on Life

‎"When you're young, you feel like life hasn't yet begun, like life is scheduled to begin next week, next month, next year, after the holidays - whenever. But suddenly you're old, and the scheduled life never arrived. I find myself asking, 'Well, then, what was it exactly I was doing with all that time I had before I thought my life would begin?'" from Coupland's Player One.

Overcoming my Quarter Life Crisis

What is a quarterlife crisis?

The quarterlife crisis is essentially a period of anxiety, uncertainty and inner turmoil that often accompanies the transition to adulthood. The quarterlife crisis is a term applied to the period of life immediately following the major changes of adolescence, usually ranging from the early twenties to the early thirties. The term is named by analogy with mid-life crisis.

Characteristics of Quarter Life Crisis include the following:

• Realizing that the pursuits of one's peers are useless
• Confronting their own mortality
• Watching time slowly take its toll on their parents, only to realize they are next
• Insecurity regarding the fact that their actions are meaningless
• Insecurity regarding present accomplishments
• Re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships
• Lack of friendships or romantic relationships, sexual frustration, and involuntary celibacy
• Disappointment with one's job
• Nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life
• Tendency to hold stronger opinions
• Boredom with social interactions
• Loss of closeness to high school and college friends
• Financially-rooted stress (overwhelming college loans, unanticipatedly high cost of living, etc.)
• Loneliness, depression and suicide
• Desire to have children
• A sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you
• Frustration with social skills
