Replying to Applying to schools...

Havent visited this site in a few months, so I thought I'd post. I'm applying to medical schools in the coming months, and its sucks. Expensive as hell and time consuming and it keeps me nervous. I've skied 6 times this, as opposed to last year when I skied every single goddamned day at Keystone and Vail as a ski instructor. I don't mind too much though. As much as I thought I'd never say this, it seems I'm growing out of skiing. Maybe 24 is too old to be throwing myself off booters and rails. I'm not renewing my season pass next year, and I'm selling my 1 year old Volkl Karmas, skied on 10 times. Damnit.

Interesting. 2 years ago I would have never though this could happen. 2 years ago I was smoking weed every other day and getting smashed at bars with my friends and basically living a carefree life. Now real life starts to set in, and I realize I'm in for some hardcore schooling and learning, and the partying just kind of dies down. Its not that I don't want to, its just that its not a priority anymore, kind of like skiing. I bet a lot of you will reach this point too. And I promise you I really was, in my opinion, the last person that would ever be telling anyone this, but its become reality.

Now instead of smoking at night and going out, I write chemical equations and collect hamster organs for pathology samples. Instead of skiing on the weekends with my friends, we go our to eat with our girlfriends and then have a few beers at a local bar.

So...to all you kids out there ages 14 - 20 that think you are the shit, keep posting your funny posts about how cool you are. Because it makes me laugh, and eventually, you'll be in my position where it isnt that fun anymore to be a badass anymore, its more fun to actually do something. Unless you're Tanner Hall, then you are stuck as a 16 yr old for the rest of your life.
