Today is a big day for me.
Today is the day I turn 21, and to honour this day in history, I thought I should make a list of 21 reasons why my life is awesome right now.
1. Today is my birthday, which just makes today great despite what may happen today.
2. I got a Macbook Pro for my Birthday, now I don't have to stress about having a computer that keeps crashing.
3. I have an amazing family, and they drove all the way to Calgary this past weekend just to celebrate my Birthday.
4. I have interview at Wayne State School of Medicine on Nov. 27th!
5. The global health conference that I have been planning for almost a year happens this weekend, Nov 9-11th. This is the biggest project I have ever attempted to pull off, and I am excited to help other students become passionate about global health.
6. I have some pretty amazing friends who are not only there for the ups in life, but who are also there for the downs.
7. All of my medical school applications are done!!
8. I got mounds of chocolate and food for my Birthday, so now I'm good until Christmas.
9. I've come to accept the fact I will likely never really race a bike again, and that cycling will become a pastime, rather than a lifeline, and I am okay with that.
10. I might be going to Tanzania in May!
11. I have super comfortable bed (this is actually pretty important).
12. I am completely okay with not getting to medical school this cycle. My plans for next year are actually awesome no matter what. If I don't get in, I'm going to work, and then travel to as many countries in as many continents as I can. Sounds better than dissecting cadavers right?
13. I have GF cake left over from my family Birthday party yesterday (cake makes life better no matter what).
14. I am actually doing pretty well in gross anatomy, even if it does feel a bit overwhelming sometimes.
15. I might be really behind on my research for my honours thesis, but my lab members are awesome, and I know that they will support me through it.
16. I don't have life figured out yet, and I think that is just fine, we don't always need a plan.
17. My parents brought my guitar from home. I haven't played since grade 9, but I am excited to get some more music back in my life.
18. It snowed this weekend! While winter is not as pleasant as summer, I like to appreciate all seasons for what they are and the gifts that they bring, like skiing!!!
19. I'm thankful that I decided to take the plunge and transfer from UoGuelph to uCalgary a year ago, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I don't regret going to Guelph, I don't think I would be where I am today had I not started out there. Everything works out as it should in the end.
20. I'm a strong person, I've been through more than I should have after only being on this earth for 21 years, and I appreciate everything that I have learned about life through trials and struggles. It will make me a better doctor.
21. Being able to dance like nobody is watching. We can all do this, and doing it makes life way more awesome. You should try it sometime.
Life is great, even when it sucks sometimes, it is still pretty great.
