One thing i usually remind myself about in my field of study is, i was sober when i chose to do it. Lol. All people tell you when you say that you wanna study medicine, is that you just have to read hard. They don't mention that it drains mentally, emotionally and physically. Your whole life just has to revolve around reading . For as long as you practice. It is a life sentence. People should be properly orientated on this.
