TOPIC: medical school vs. social improvement

Whats up guys,
Right now I'm in a difficult point in my life in where i don't know where i should put my priorities. I'm about to switch majors to one that'll get me into med school. but first, a little background on me: I'm a hardworking student with a very good(3.73) GPA but average/less than average social life. Getting into med school is going to take a lot of my time and effort, but I dont know if I should improve my social life first or manage both goals. Quite frankly I just wanna have a better time in school, become a more confident, and powerful man before I devote the next 8-12 years of my life in medicine. Tryna avoid that midlife crisis. Lemme know what you guys think.
love, Jstone

All I can say is that you definitely need to find a way to balance the two. I hear ya brah, your professional/social life can compliment each other but the key is finding out the all the nuances of both of them... My social life suffered because I forgot I was a person too.

You sound like my clone! I had no idea of such resources such as good looking loser( rsd, rooshv, etc) during my time in college and only after hitting rockbottom did I venture off and discover these resources! My college experience fucking sucked due to a combination of studying and not knowing how to improve my social life! Being a pre med is a pain in the ass and is definitely a detriment to having "the best college life" possible, but looking back knowing what I know now I definitely could have made it a lot better. I am at a mid life crisis right because I spent my entire college years "gunning" and in the end I could not get into a md med school! I ended up with close to a 4.0 and I scored 95 and 98th percentile on two of the three sections of the mcat, but I bombed one of the sections due to insomnia the night before my mcats!

YOU HAVE TO IMPROVE YOUR SOCIAL AND SEX LIFE or else you will be miserable! Humans have basic needs and social interaction and getting pussy is a part of it! Sadly, med school will take up a large part of your time. I absolutely hated studying so hard at the expense of having a better social life and it came to a point where achieving well academically made me numb since the other aspects of my life were not great! You can definitely improve your social life, but I doubt you will have enough time to be the "frat star" or the business major that can go out 4 nights a week! I would recommend not drinking much and instead using kratom and phenibut when going out because getting drunk will impede your studies the following day! Please do not end up like me!

Yea, thanks for the insight guys, its a hard time for me right now, but i think with excellent scheduling and discipline(like ive learned about on this sight), I believe i can really pull this off, and go to Med school a happy person who's at least somewhat more satisfied with their college career.
To my older "clone"
sorry to hear about how things turned out for you man. But did you ever get into Med school? Are things going better for you now?

I applied to med school 2 times and one of the years I got waitlisted! I am currently teaching part time and living with my parents

I did not get in solely due to one of the mcat sections(insomnia due to anxiety)! I did pass it on a separate test, but again you have to score well on all sections on one exam. In fact, my overall score is higher than a lot of my classmates that are currently in med school! I am 24 right now and the social/sex life disappointment is much much greater than not getting into med school! In fact, I really do not give a shit any more that I got rejected, but I am very very disappointed that my social/college/sex life was so bad!

Idk where you live, but some states have schools that are easier to get into! In addition, race also plays a factor.

Improve your social/sex life now or you are just preparing yourself for an epic meltdown! I needed to hit this rock bottom to see what truly is important to me!

well 2trippy, that is definitely some shit man. But if i were you id still keep trying to get into med school, I mean you got a lot going for you already. So perhaps studying the MCAT and improving your social life should be your 2 main goals. best of luck man.
And Peacerenity that sounds like a pretty good idea, I already hit the gym really early about everyday, so planning in the clubs/social aspect of my life shouldn't be too bad. I'm a sophomore so it maybe a little hard, but i'll probably end up in school for another 3 years anyway cuz of switching majors, so that should be enough time to make a difference.

I am a licensed MD in my country, so I speak from experience.

What is your precise and real plan for "having a better social life". What is your definition of being a "powerful man"? I think that if you have no answer to these questions, your wallowing in daydreams and had better not fuck up your future career.
I think you should go to med school, and spend your free time improving socially, with the resources found here on GLL for instance. Of course you might have less time to do it than others, but I think much of" I don't have time" complaints are just rationalizations of not doing it.
Anyway I also do not know many other professions that allow you to become as "powerful" and respected socially as being a doctor.
Last, imagine yourself 5years from now having worked in Wallmart to support your "social growth", I think you ll regret not having entered med school.

To wrap up, unless your "social growth project" is something concrete, dont sacrify your future.
Also, don't forget you ll need $$ one day, too. Job is important, beside what many self help resources make you think

All the best

i would stick to med school, I'm in a similar situation, (but not as difficult due to my major) I am also trying to broaden my social abilities but I also start my Ph.D in August for chemistry. In the end the money will be worth it and the respect, also I don't know about your school but I've found in my graduate school there are a lot of hot girls and very few if any goodlooking guys (mostly wimpy nerds) so I don't think it will be that hard to get laid as long as you max out your sex appeal. Just utilize your free time for GLL stuff and approaching etc..Good Luck

Damn guys, thanks for all the input! Really helpful for me to get shit figured out. You're feedback is greatly appreciated.
Ricksvobodnij,
You're a real doctor? how was was your pre-med experience? was it successful? And i understand what you mean about "daydreaming", like the feeling of confidence you get when youre gunna set everything right but dont actually do shit. I need to come up with a plan to make myself a more socially successful person. my idea of "success" is becoming a person who can hit up multiple people on friday-saturday night and find something to do, is usually comfortable in most social situations(can make effective small talk etc.) i have a few options of potential lady friends at a time. but im already in a frat so I imagine i can make a difference by getting more involved with them multiple times a week, building social skills, and adding on to it. Proudly being able to say "im going to be a doctor someday" will also give me a social boost if im considered a cool guy, and have my looks maxed out. I can definitely create a great life for myself, i just gotta give the push.
2trippy,
i see what you mean man. i couldnt agree more about the fucked up state that medicine is in. I can see how it works in conjuction with corporate America (im American btw) to make a profit. Its disgusting, fucked up, and is the true work of the worst scum of the world. But its just how it is. I still feel the vocation to enter med school because of my desire to truly help those in need. I still wanna provide professional care those who are scared, suffering and in great pain (emergency medicine or surgery are the fields im interested in). I only hope i can avoid the influence that big corporations have on medicine. But any rate, i wish you the best man, its not a bad idea to fix your sexual life before deciding on your life. Just make sure you put in the effort, and you'll see the results man.
