When the #MedSchoolSupportPupper gets a promotion to #ResidencySupportPupper 😌 She’s a real one & deserves some of the spotlight too! Girl carried me through the past 4 years 🥹🐾 #RileyRue #shibainu

Ok but seriously …. how does one find a decent apartment in NYC that’s both safe & liveable with essential appliances that won’t cost the entire month’s pay of an incoming PGY-1 who’s riddled with massive student debt???? Sadly, asking for me 🫠

For more context, I’m 33 & was a “grown up” before med school, so living with roommates is a hard pass. I also have a dog, so being able to comfortably walk her at virtually any hour is a major priority. And as a chronically late adhd adult, short commute is heavily preferred 🆘

@KimmyBZ I’d rather sell one of my kidneys than ever live with a roommate again 🫠 I’ve had the luxury of living alone for far too long to consider it. The downfalls of going back to school in your 30s 🥲

@drjessmaddox Congrats friends! We love an educated pup 🐾 My girl studied for the MCAT with me & is now 8 weeks out from earning her honorary MD before we head off to residency for the next 4 years. Couldn’t have done it without her. We don’t deserve dogs ❤️

Mistake #1 was choosing to spend 3rd & 4th year in a luxury high rise in downtown Chicago, near lots of grass for the doge & just a 10 min drive from the hospital. $2200 with all the essential appliances & amenities too 😭 (Don’t @ me, but NYC is the problem)

Everyone: enjoy your free time & relax before residency starts! My school: you’re required to finish 90 clinical weeks, so your last day of rotations is May 31st. *cue viral tiktok audio “excuse me, I need you to kill me”*

Because my eras szn was filled with a variety of unexpected obstacles that I managed to overcome, I’d like to offer any advice to #MATCH2025 applicants that may have to apply with incomplete or late applications (ex. late step 2, fall rotation SLOE/LORs, etc)🙂 #USimg #medtwitter

Last day on cardio today 🫀 I really enjoyed this elective! Mostly for the people, tbh; but definitely picked up a lot of things that will be helpful in the ED. 4 electives down, 6 to go 😬 Up next: SICU 😷

Today was my last official day as a medical student. To celebrate, I’m spending it the same way I’ve spent 98% of med school — alone at home with my dog, probably doomscrolling or staring at the ceiling. Needless to say, I’m glad it’s finally over.

@itzi_myriad No worries, I didn’t catch any snark! 😅 There’s been a few WhatsApp’s started but no ones really spoken up yet (I tried & failed 🫠). I know it’s kind of early to start looking from now, so I was going to wait it out a bit before asking. But yeah, I’d appreciate any help! 🙂

Additionally, if you’re a US-IMG & facing pushback by advising about applying this year, despite your current student status lining up to match this next cycle & meeting all the necessary requirements to apply, feel free to DM me.

@AmericanAir It’s now been 3 hours, and I know bad weather isn’t your fault … but sitting in a hot plane for this long is incredibly dangerous for your passengers and staff.

PLEASE NOTE: I in no way recommend applying without step 2 or submitting your application late, BUT, life happens & sometimes there are things out of your control. It unfortunately happened to me, and it certainly wasn’t ideal, but it still worked out great. #MATCH2025

@HoleyHan From what I’ve heard many do live in UES & Harlem, I just haven’t been able to find much that’s even available. Idk if it’s weird time of year or I’m not looking at the right search engines 😅 Thankfully I have a bit of time until I actually have to move.

After wrapping up cores in August followed by 2 back-to-back EM sub-I’s — where I had to bring my A game EVERY day during some of the hardest weeks of my life… being on a “chill” rotation this month has been such a treat 🙌🏼 Next month, I gotta start waking up at 4:30a again 🥲
