Hi

Here's what you need to know about me. I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. I'm struggling through my third year of my Pre-Med studies, I have the world's cutest cat, the best family and boyfriend, and I'm just doing the best I can.

I've spent the last two years of college comparing myself to my classmates, envying those who had higher GPA's than mine. It made me miserable. Today I've decided that I won't do it anymore. I refuse to consider myself in a competition. I can only decide to bust my ass everyday and pray that it's all enough in the end. Regardless of what happens in my life, I will be able to walk away knowing that I gave it my complete effort and that will be enough for me.

I hope that any other students out there who are reading this really let this next sentence sink in. You are not defined by three digits on your transcript. You are not defined by an exam score. There is so much more to you than school. Your intelligence and self worth is not determined by any standard examination.

 Hopefully I'll have better posts to come, but for tonight, this is all I have. Time for me to get back to hitting the books.
