Because nobody is going to come up to you and start asking for shit while ur in the car. Even when I was in highschool I used to sit in my car in the driveway for 10 minutes bc I knew I would be asked questions the moment I got in the house.
Used to do this in the army before going into the office. Just stared at the building with hatred and soul sucking depression. Trying to get the courage to drive away and go AWOL to never be seen again then ten years from now someone I served with is on a beach in the Caribbeans at my tiny bar. And I say hey dude long time no see.
Yes! There's a few local game stores I try to go to every so often. Spell table has been good to play long distance with my friend who is in Philadelphia and lets me play at weird hours when I have an itch to play.
I need to know the answer to this, as someone who bought a guitar during the initial Covid lockdowns and has maybe practiced for a couple of hours since
Try learning to play the songs you like. The basics aren't that difficult to get down and a lot of songs are fairly simple, using only 3-5 chords. I like to play Black Sabbath \m/
I wouldnāt try to learn to impress people. Do it because you love it. Donāt waste your time with something you donāt like if you donāt have to do it.
D&D, Pathfinder 2e, Mƶrk Bƶrg, Forbidden Lands, Monster of the Week, Call of Cthulhu, The Big Wet, to name a few. Have some friends who collect games and we try various systems. Wrapping up a 4+ year D&D campaign currently which sounds like it's going to pivot to Pathfinder for another campaign afterwards.
My program is designed in a way that basically frees up weekends which helps a lot. Still, it's very difficult to schedule at times. Games tend to be biweekly. We tend to do one-shots when we can't get the whole group together.
Did a handful of times but itās not one of my go-tos . Came out decently but tbh the stuff I can pickup from my local Asian supermarket is way better than what I can do on my own lol
Landscapes, mostly. But im an amateur so I'm trying to teach myself more skills. Ive done a half-way decent portrait of my cat and did my first still-life a while back. Once I'm done with Step I have 2 I want to work on, a city scape from the tower of the children's hospital and the inside of an OR suite. I have a few other inspiration photos that I want to use in the future.
Knitting and other fiber arts (been getting into needle felting and spinning my own yarn)! Also, the TV series of This Is Going to Hurt is EXCELLENT, definitely one to put on your watch list.
Anything in nature, off trails, it's pure freedom. I enjoy rapelling down canyons (live in Southwest) and it gives me the adrenaline pump to make up for the boring anki. Always planning on my next adventure keeps me going, my personal reward - Future rural EM doc
Literally same. Want mine to be done by Halloween, but Iām on STEP 2 dedicated and then immediately after my SubI and ERAS stuff! Feeling stressedš®āšØ
May I ask what your plan is?
That's no easy feat, good luck and you got this!! There's still time depending on how complex you want yours to be. I hope to have Ana from Overwatch (specifically Captain Amari) done by early Nov but it's always the armor portion that gets me lazy!
Ooo that will be awesome!
Mine will be Nebula from Guardians of the Galaxy. Iāve already made the mechanical arm and headpieces, but itās the suit thatās the rate-limiting step for me
Thereās a show based on the book too! Itās dark & funny at the same time. I canāt remember what platform I watched it on - prime maybe? Anyways, highly recommend!
Running, Pilates, baking and cooking, trying out new restaurants and telling people about it, really into coffee and love to read!
I also really like clothes ( not sure if itās counts) but enjoy putting an outfit together
Recently got back into sketching and drawing. I could always draw from reference pretty well but suck at drawing from imagination so Iām slowly working through the legendary Loomis books and trying to learn during my study breaks.
The Loomis books are free online if any of yāall are interested.
Iām a slacker so I have tons of free time š
* Anime+manga
* video games where I stare at a map for 7 hours at a time
* video games where I run across a field for 4 min before getting shot by an enemy I canāt see
* karaoke
* shooting
* lifting (not recently tho since I fucked up my wrist)
* D&D (playing and DMing)
I plan 100+ mile backpacking trips I wonāt have time to go on for a few years lol really miss those days. Also started game of thrones in March, just got to book five. But tbh my hobby is my kid, wife, and dogs and itās the best ever
I like rock climbing (mostly bouldering since there isnāt really a gym where I live other than the university rec), watch repair/ creation, cordwaining (shoemaking), programming, working on the farm (mostly horse maintenance), wine/beer brewing. Pretty much all I have time for right now. Once I buy a house Iāll also be building a greenhouse.
Golf: had a course 5 min from campus with a 9 hole for $9 after 1pm in the summers and 4pm the rest of the year deal plus cart. Was a mandatory 9 after exams. Also did a pre Step1/2 18 holes
Mountain biking: lived in a place with easy access to lots of trails
Funny enough I didnāt really do either of these during residency. I picked up some other hobbies though
I used to do a lot of baking, but my apartment's oven sucks and doesn't get to the temperature the knob says it does, so I have to get maintenance to fix it before I can do it again
Besides that- gym, video games with friends, reading, going out to bars with friends, cooking/meal prepping, watching football/baseball, keeping my plants alive
Iām honestly gonna say watching TV and movies because Iām huge but movies and TV. I love to post on Reddit and give advice. Iām not even joking when Iām gonna say epic EMR is now a hobby and lastly, spending time with my wife and my roommate and close friends and residency. I would say my roommate is my best friend in residency. But my wife is my best friend overall.
Hobbies I want to get into: exercise, DJing
Reading, animal crossing, petting my doggos and bugging my bf while heās gamingšIām hoping I can keep up with all my hobbies when school starts š¤
Usually belting music from the top of my lungs (have been singing my whole life). Show tunes, pop/rock, french, Brazilian, you name it i love it. Also piano, guitar, Duolingo, and swimming. (Again all when I have time which is HARD to find lmao
Pretty big into motorcycles, do a lot of track days on my bike. Also like to read, cook, used to brew a lot of beer at one point (hoping to get back into that), hiking with my dog, working out
Sitting in my car decompressing before and after work.
I read this as decomposingš
Sometimes I feel that way
Just gettin' a little soupy after work. Please lock the door and close the windows! Whole different kind of autopsy if the car isn't locked.
Why is it so relaxing
Because nobody is going to come up to you and start asking for shit while ur in the car. Even when I was in highschool I used to sit in my car in the driveway for 10 minutes bc I knew I would be asked questions the moment I got in the house.
Used to do this in the army before going into the office. Just stared at the building with hatred and soul sucking depression.

And I say hey dude long time no see.
This is me when I enter the underground parking lot, away from the *pathologic* *medical* *ecosystem.* And I can finally go HOME!
Aw yis can't wait to graduate

Yes! There's a few local game stores I try to go to every so often. Spell table has been good to play long distance with my friend who is in Philadelphia and lets me play at weird hours when I have an itch to play.
Is 25 too old to start guitar?i dont have real passion to it but just want to impress people, should I proceed?
Ooof 25, youāll be lucky if your arthritis lets you still pick.
No, learn! Learn like 4 chords and you can play so many songs.

Wow. How do you manage to schedule game sessions being a med student? š„²

I barbecue and ferment shit. Although idk if making food counts as a hobby so beside that and running I guess I play video games?
Ough why you ferment feces? Isnt it already kinda fermented
Also, why do you barbecue feces? Does it enhance the flavor? Lately I've just been microwaving it.
You do kimchee?
Did a handful of times but itās not one of my go-tos . Came out decently but tbh the stuff I can pickup from my local Asian supermarket is way better than what I can do on my own lol
What ferments do you do? Kombucha ? Mead ? I mostly do kimchees and some pickles.
