Med school is a wild ride and requires a lot of caffeine, stress relievers, and melatonin. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, so it’s gonna push you to your absolute limit, and then some. Your trusty planner keeps you on top of your hectic schedule, and you have no idea how you’re gonna keep up with it all… but hey, someone invented flashcards for a reason, and these alone are a lifesaver.

Clinical rotations are where the real magic happens, anyway. You don white attire (AKA put on an ivory coat) and dive into the complicated world of patient care. Now you’re on a magic rollercoaster that changes colors, locations, and has a variety of jump scares that provide that much-needed jolt to avoid falling asleep.

On a real note, take care of yourselves out there y’all, because your health is important, just as much as your patients’ health is important. We’ve got some fun memes for you to scroll through below, so you know you’re not alone in this emotional, messy time. For more, here are some therapy memes to send a friend who is a walking red flag. Or maybe you’re the red flag… either way goes.
