Day 8 — Your favorite internet friend

Dear Ash,

I know you also want to go to medical school. Here's some advice from one who's been where you are: don't dick around, don't mess around with girls, and save your money.

Dicking around will get you nowhere, actually it gets you somewhere: deep shit. And unless you like being in bad places, stay focused and don't lose sight of the goal.

Girls will do a few things to you in your early 20's. They'll create the illusion in your life that you're happy...then while you're under that illusion, they will plunder you for all your worth - time, money, intelligence, you name it, she's taking it. It's to my understanding that later on in life, not much is different. The only difference is that she won't even try to give you the illusion that you'll be happy. Don't let them do this to you. Stop your online dating habits now.

Money is a funny thing. When you're making it, you have hardly the time to spend it. When you're spending it, it feels you're trading away a pieces of your soul for the item or services tendered. In any case, if you end up in medical school, whether in Canada or USA, you'll go into debt. You will be crushed by a 6 digit number on your shoulders that your own kin will turn a blind eye to. That said, save your money. Don't spend frivolously on random shit like I've been doing. Thank God there's some money left in my bank account.

Ash, I love you man. Just stop the long-distance, MSN messenger, online relationships with RANDOM ASS girls and I think you'll be really well off.

With friendship,

Alex
