Being 27
It feels weird being 27. I don't even feel the age. It's kind of scary--I'm nearing the end of my 20's. This is the age I designated as the age that all the things fall in place. I really don't know who I am anymore. I'm more confused than ever. Perhaps I am feeling this way because I haven't fulfilled all of my dreams yet--hence the quarterlife crisis.
After the near death experience and turning a year older, I think life is too short for delayed gratification. I need to reevaluate my life, and what I want to do while I'm still young and free. I definitely don't want to spend my most carefree years in the trench (read: med school), not having done the things I could have done while young.
I don't think I want to do medical school in my 20's anymore. After working and going to school for several years without time for myself and friends, I want to focus more on what's important to me.
In my conversation with my friend last night, I ponder is it really worth giving up social life, family, and friends, for medical school in my prime years?
