Life Update: Step 2 CK and White Coats Black Blazers

You might have noticed that things have been a little quiet on the blog lately, and there’s a valid reason for that! I’ve attempted to hide away to focus on the things that are most important to me right now – doing well on Step 2 CK of my medical licensing exam and continuing to grow my latest project White Coats Black Blazers. In the pursuit of happiness and purpose, I’ve realized that balance in life isn’t always equal. I’ve found my balance by learning that it’s okay to routinely shift the priorities in my life.

My Psychiatry Sub Internship Midpoint Reflections

My Psychiatry Sub Internship is basically a month-long audition where I’m evaluated on my skill set, knowledge-base, and fit within the field of Psychiatry. It’s also an opportunity for me to get a more in-depth understanding of what my life would be like as a Psychiatry resident. Halfway into the rotation, I can genuinely say that I’ve loved my time on the Mood Service at the Pennsylvania Hospital. Every day, I wake up excited to go to the hospital, and at the end of each day, I feel as though I’ve made a difference in the lives of my patients. This isn’t to…

Over the course of the past (almost) 2 months, I have learned SO MUCH MORE about myself than I could have imagined. I’m excited about the moment of reflection I’ll get in writing this post. I think that most of these points will…

No Excuses: My 50 Day Fitness Journey

The last time I worked out on a regular basis was probably in high school. I played volleyball and ran track pretty competitively. As a result, I was basically forced to do pretty hardcore workouts almost year-round for four years. To be honest though, I rarely ever did anything over the summer 😊 (Sorry Kinsey and Coach Mo if you’re reading this!) Throwback to senior year of high school In college, medical school, and business school, I had random spurts of working out. My IG stories (or SnapChat back when I actually used it) featured my once-a-quarter gym sessions. Last…
