With all this RYLA planning going on, I am getting soso excited for summer to come :)
Flashback four years ago, being on the bus going to camp and completely clueless of what to expect. It’s been an amazing ride since then, and as always, couldn’t have done it without Rotary. <3
Even though I haven’t been as involved in Rotaract this year as I would’ve liked, I’m glad I’m getting back into Rotary via RYLA. It’s nice coming back home to 5170. (:
365rulesforpremeds: 67. Make changes, not excuses.
Going back to Rule #16.
Being pre-med is tough and competitive. It often seems as if your GPA cannot possibly take another hit. But being honest about WHY you failed will get you further in life than making up exaggerated lies each time. It is not going to work forever.
Here’s to hoping this quarter goes well!
My mom carried me for nine months. She felt sick for those months with nausea, then she watched her feet swell & her skin stretch. She teared. She struggled to climb stairs, she got breathless quickly and she even suffered many sleepless nights. She then went through excruciating pain to bring me into this world. Then, she became my nurse, my chef, my maid, my chauffeur, my biggest fan, my teacher & my best friend. She’s struggled for me, cried over me, hoped the best for me and prayed for me. Most of us take our mom for granted. Reblog if you love your mum more than anything else in the world.

Random thoughts at 3:10AM before I go back to (or rather, START) studying.
- RYLA CIT Orientation was today! It honestly hasn’t sunk in that I’ll be returning to Camp Campbell in less than two months, much less be given this amazing opportunity. After briefing over our modules and workshop assignments, I am getting soso excited for camp to come :)
- Oh and our support staff-er taught us how to cook Filipino food today, lots of fun!
- It was a nice two week break, but now it’s back to studying and no free time. Round II midterms = Week 7 and 8 :(
- In less than 4 weeks, I’ll be done with my second year of college and potentially half of my undergraduate career.
- Thinking about my future scares me to no end.
- Med school probably scares me even more.
- Lately, I’ve been wishing I could go back and redo a lot of things. Go back and do things to the best of my ability, the way it’s supposed to be.
- Note to self: don’t get too comfortable. Half your grade is still to be determined.
- Not to jinx anything, but this is probably the best quarter I’ve had at UCLA. 2/3 of my classes are probably my favorite classes I’ve taken at UCLA. But then again, it’s still only week 7. I’ll decide that after finals.
- English is funsies. For the first time since sophomore year of high school, I’m actually doing assigned reading (that didn’t come from a textbook).
- I have no idea how I’m going to survive Session I this summer.
- My resume sucks. How do I even consider myself a premed?
- LOLOL Gossip Girl S5 finale this Monday. Good because that means no TV distractions until after finals. But who knows, maybe my heart will break if they mess up the show for me. :(
- Same with HIMYM, but I don’t care as much about the outcome of that.
- I can’t wait to go home.

It was pretty scary hearing about this today, considering that it was at Independence High School of all places. And especially since I literally live across the street from school.
But anyway, I’m glad no one got hurt!
