Gap Year Reflections

If you don't want to hear my life story, scroll to the bottom for more general gap year thoughts! With my gap year and last true summer of freedom coming to a close, I've been increasingly doubtful as to whether I've made the most of my time. Have I made enough meaningful memories and done … Continue reading Gap Year Reflections

Knoxville

Knoxville is a sweet little town on the Tennessee River. Everywhere you look, someone or something is dressed in orange and white, which was overwhelming at first, but has really grown on me. Being a mere 3 hours from Atlanta makes Knoxville great for a weekend trip destination. There is virtually no traffic by Atlanta standards … Continue reading Knoxville

Homecoming

The other night, I began reading Michelle Obama's book. In the first chapter "Becoming Me", she talks about growing up in Chicago.

HELLO FRIENDOS

 

Hey y’all, I’m Rena and this is my blog! I’m currently living the dream as a second year medical student. Despite having been in several pre-med organizations, I wasn’t blessed with the best mentors and advisors throughout my journey to get where I am today.

Looking back, there was so much I wish I had known. Because of this, I’d like to be there for others who are in need of a little guidance from school things to adulting things. Hopefully you can learn from my experiences to save yourself time and money.

Aside from med school musings, I also dabble in sharing food, travel, and general life thoughts. I hope being here is as helpful for you as writing it is for me. Cheers!
