This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm listening to it now. Yall are going to hate me but I just can't understand the hype for Drake. I haven't been a real fan since Thank Me later maybe even Take Care. Don't get me wrong, he makes good music but I was way more hype for Future's last two albums.

Future irks me for some reason.. I can't put my finger on it. But I did like a few songs on his latest album.

Damn. But I guess that's kinda how I feel about Drake. He don't irk but he's kinda just there to me unless he puts out a hot single.

This is the most versatile and explosive project from drake I've seen in a while. The transitions between songs is real smooth, my favorite transitions are the ones between jorja interlude and get it together and the transition between 4422 and Gyalchester. We got Grime Drake, Afro carribean Drake, take care Drake, rap drake. It's a real all encompassing project with a ton of cool features like Sampha and I already like it better than views. Oh and Passionfruit. Damn.

Now I love drake dearly but I wasn't really blown away by the album. I only listened to it once though so I do need to try again.

I think it's way better than views though. On a side note my friend said she's tired of "cultural appropriation drake" lol.

This semester needs to end quickly. I wake up every morning like "how many days of class have I missed? Do I really need to go?"

Planned to quit my job in July but the lab manager just quit and we are short-handed so my PI would like me to stay and work part-time for part of school. Sigh... still haven't decided what to do.

I am going to be nosy and tell you to not take that offer up! Medical school will be stressful enough without a part tine job, plus u have a great scholarship. I wouldn't risk it by working part time.

I don't think you should feel like you owe them anything. Knock some things off your bucket list, get right mentally and physically. I'd say follow your plan instead of accommodating more duties, med school is challenging enough!

Thank you everyone!! I'm still waiting for the package from UCSF MD only to decide which program but I decided on San Francisco period and am moving on April 1st!

Got a job offer out here in a clinical field that will allow me to go part time during school and get research done.

I'm so happy how everything has worked out.

The only way I can see this being okay is if you get some posters or publications out of it while in medschool. Otherwise, you have to be selfish. Medical school is no ho3 and this is your future now. Best to start off on the right foot.

You guys are all right. My only reason for hesitating is that he is chief of the division, not strict on how many hours I work (but hinting that I need to be productive), and very generous with publications. My parents mentioned maintaining that connection, so I am treading lightly. Not remotely interested in this negatively impacting my education, however.

Oh, and congrats @WhittyPsyche :biglove:

Oh okay, that does kind of change things a lil bit. Play it by ear but also at some point have that conversation with him about your concerns with starting this new chapter in your life

Damn. I love seeing all the successful URM applicants and soon to be physicians! We definitely need more of us in the medical field.

My financial aid offer for school (so far) was in-state tuition as an OOS applicant. Ha. I think the final scholarship offers are sent before the end of April, so I am keeping hope.

Anybody know of outside scholarships?
