Striding With Purpose

I hope that you all have had a wonderful start to the New Year thus far! I feel like someone says this every year but I going to say it anyway: I can’t believe that it is already February! January flew by so fast! Like, I blinked and it was MLK day and then I […]

Twelve Months of Dubs

Okay, this year has got to be in the top five list of the quickest years I’ve ever lived through. Like, how is 2022 a.k.a. the self-proclaimed “Year of the Dub” already coming to an end?? I remember the beginning of this year so clearly…it all flew by so fast. It feels I was just […]

Life After Match Day

I find it so funny how much everything changes after Match Day is over. As you know, my whole fourth year literally revolved around one thing and one thing only: Where was I going to match? With the help and guidance of others, I spent the vast majority of the year working tirelessly to figure […]

MATCH MADNESS: The Outcome

WOW. WHAT. A. WEEK. I don’t even really know where to start. This whirlwind of a week has been such a memorable one. Well, really Monday and this past weekend to be specific. The time between when I officially matched on Monday (PRAISE THE LORD 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿) and where I found out where exactly I matched […]

MATCH MADNESS: The Anticipation

IT’S HERE. The week that I’ve been waiting almost four years for has FINALLY arrived. Yes, I’m talking about MATCH WEEK!!! Three years ago, as a first-year student, I experienced the magic of Match Day for the first time in my life. (You can read the post I wrote about the experience by clicking this […]
