HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

By -




It's been what, two or three months since my last upload, and goodness!!, I thought I'd explode from being saturated with so many thoughts. But I found a therapy in reading tweets. (You can find me on Twitter at the address written at the end of this post).

These past months have been EVERYTHING and more! From uni stress to personal issues, to going back to heaven and resurrecting lol...ugh, it was IT. But I'm thankful to be here and strong and loving every bit of you that have not forgotten TheShyMedic.

By the way, your girl is now a 4th-year medical student!!! I know it's not something to be too excited about because honestly, the reality gets closer to you as you advance in Med school. The reality that a human will be lying in front of you, and whose life lies in the decision you make. It's scary to think about, yet I want to indulge myself with the thoughts many times over. I'm just excited because it was a smooth sail into my fourth year despite the encounters.

In between, I feel like it's been ten weeks into January. January literally came to stay!!

And yes, Happy 2019, lovelies🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

I get asked by no less than seven people what my new year's resolution is. And being the consistent brat that I am, I've never had a different reply. "I don't have one. I just go with the flow". Well, it's not false, I never make a new year resolution. In fact, the last time I did was in 2014, which, believe me, I was compelled to.

It hurts me real bad when I make plans and it doesn't work out. This has scared me off from making resolutions. Of course, I'd like to improve in the new year, but I let destiny take it own course, albeit I work hard at making it favour me.

And not to think about my exams ringing in with the new year bells...💔💔💔. I literally just send a mass new year message to my contacts and channel the rest of the energy into my books. I don't even go to the city centre for the fireworks😭😭. I love fireworks😢

Taking a massive 360° because this is not the post to pay tribute to my dead social life, how much change has 2019 brought to you?

With me, I've not had a major change, I'm still short and still love to eat junk foods (but I've been trying at eating healthy lately. It is difficult!), but the year started on a really high note. I've had a really good start and hopefully, it ends similarly. I hope the rest of your 2019 is equally as great!

Don't be dismayed even if you've not had an impressive beginning, there are three hundred and thirty-seven (337) days for a change to happen.
There are still eight thousand and eighty-eighty hours (8088) hours left, you will get a reply to that email you sent.
There are still four hundred and eighty-five thousand, two hundred and eighty (485280) minutes, you can get that shape you desire.
Even with the twenty-nine million, one hundred and sixteen thousand, eight hundred (29116800) seconds left to the end of this year, you can get that thing working!
But one thing, you have to START.

I don't want to get all motivational with this post lol, but I only hope that I'm able to give someone strength by reading this. Like I sub-tweeted some weeks ago, "there is always light at the end of the tunnel as long as a tunnel exists". Nothing of this universe is permanent.

To you, my dear reader, I hope you're doing well? Make sure to laugh a lot, eat healthily, drink lots of water, and make someone happy today.

Till the next update, 😍

6 Years Later: Dissecting The Myths

The tweet read: “don’t let anyone motivate you otherwise. Medical school is hard”! I couldn’t agree more. Except that I wished I had seen the tweet 6 years ago, maybe I would already be working as a journalist or lawyer or any of the three things I wanted to become when I was 14.   Unlike the familiar stories you’ll hear in medical school, medicine wasn’t a childhood dream for me. It was not even a choice until the last minute. Heads up: This is a four-page MS Word document. It's a mid attempt to condense my six-year medical school experience into understandable words. So grab a seat and some food, and let's get this party started! Myth #1: You have to love Science to be a doctor   I can confidently tell you that my best subject all through my six years as a high schooler was the English language. I still believe it is. I like Literature as well. I love words and how writers weave them, and I found these miles more interesting than Punnett's square in my Biology textbook. W

At 23: A Birthday Memoir

By -

The thought of writing came to my head one week to this day as I took a shower. Birthday celebrations have never been my cup of tea while growing up. In fact, there are no pictures of a first or second birthday party in the family photo album. I used to fear the camera flash until I was 3, my mom said. Twice in primary school, I remember my mom bringing a birthday cake and dress to school, unknowing to me. I would leave home to school like a normal day and hoped no one, either at home or in school, remembered what day it was. I played this game until I was 8. Inside a shopping bag were my best denim skirt and white blouse that I always reserved for "special" occasions (of which my birthday was not included by the way). The cake was baked in a rush, you could tell. The second time, I was 10. There had been a function at home over the weekend. So, it was a perfect time for anyone to forget that it was my birthday. I went to school on Monday,

Is premarital sex wrong?

By -

Valentine is just around the corner, couples are being nicer to each other, the red and white outfits are being ordered, the flower shops are restocking, jewellery shops will have increased sales, and just about everyone will be happy because it is the month of Love. There is a crude generalization that children born in November are usually products of Valentine's night. This is as funny as it is witless! During a discussion of the silly statement above, I was asked, "is premarital sex okay"? While I lolled in a chair, I almost choked on my coffee. I wasn't prepared for such a question at seven a.m. Here you go. When I think about sex, morality, religion, and medicine are the parameters that come to mind. Sex is between two people, a man and a woman, or otherwise. But in the traditional society we live in where heterosexual relationships are given priority, the consequence(s) of sex (in this case premarital) is mostly borne by the woman partner. Now l
