Personal statement
Gene’s personal statement that will get me into school:
To whom it may concern, MURDER. Did I get your attention? Good. Attention grabbing is one of my many abilities. My name is Sonam Patel, or is it? Misdirection is another talent of mine, but I’ll get to that later. The truth is I don’t give two shits about you or your medical school. I know everything there is to know about...

Recently, a friend shared his thoughts on chivalry and essentially guffawed at those who do not believe it is dead. I am thrilled to be living in a world promoting equality of both men and women, however I can’t help but pick out the gaps in this system. The American woman has come a long way from the 1300’s, but it seems as though the chivalry is the only practice abandoned by men....

inconsiderate, prying, rude, selfish.
the most effective distraction method thus far:
cleaning while finally doing my vocal exercises; indirectly getting back at my self-proclaimed rapper neighbor is also a perk.

disjointed thoughts
My head is so heavy, from the heat, from studying, and from the overwhelming thoughts that I seemingly have dwelled upon immensely today. Several of my posts suggest that I long for summer, and now that it is here- in full of blast, I hate it. I hate everything about it; I hate that I’m not carefree; I hate that I’m not at the beach;I hate that I am irritable and cranky; I hate that...

catharsis
A has continuously tried to convince me that people suck. People are fickle; people are undependable; people are moody; people are insecure; people, most importantly, are selfish. She insists that I take limited responsibility for any and all misfortunes that have occurred in the recent past. I believe her for the moment, but then the next misfortune comes along and I immediately am sunk...
fight-or-flight response
Although the distinction between innate behavior and learned behavior in animals is debatable, it is factual that animals are “wired” to exhibit a “fight- or- flight” response when faced with a threat in order to protect themselves- because, after all- nature is all about survival of the fittest.
The pathway and resulting consequences of this response is seemingly logical in scribe,...

wise words of the Fray
“Happiness damn near destroys you Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor So you tell yourself, that’s enough for now Happiness has a violent roar “
*Happiness
"Listen to the wisdom of your body"
It takes the roaring of my annoyed body for me to finally come to terms with my innumerous inadequacies and flaws, which until now I’ve conveniently pushed to the back of my head, allowing me to maintain my “I am invincible” composure.
The most current diagnosis entails tendonitis of my wrist, thumb, a strained and sprained neck and rotator cuff, muscle spasms in my shoulder, and potentially...

“Yes, it would be fine if he came and stayed as long as possible, and I think that we should feel that our former friendship was sincere and not superficial; as time goes by one does not always continue to feel it so strongly, ‘but it is not dead, but it sleepeth,’ and it would be good to see each other again to wake and bring it to life again.”

The spring days that greeted us this weekend was the perfect push out of the winter doldrums we’ve all been caught in. Reminiscent of my favorite season- summer, it was as if everything finally returned to normal. Eager to wake up, I opened the blinds, and the sunlight poured in- I could practically smell the ocean waves crashing. I peer out the window and see the campus is scattered with...
i’m going to handle this the wrong way, because it’s easiest.

My seemingly flawless
handwriting is practically illegible in my eyes compared to your sub-par scribe. I suppose I admire you after all.
vicious cycle
Every morning, 7:45 AM, the alarm sings too soon.
Every morning, the same dreaded feeling passes through me as I plant my feet on the ground and make futile attempts to convince myself to sleep early tonight, THIS time for sure.
Every morning, I miscalculate, and give myself too little time and run out the door at 8 AM. I bank on the car ride to do my make-up and consume my daily potent...

Funny how...
driving down the streets, flashbacks from several years ago come and go jabbing at my heart.
smell is the strongest sense that we have linked to memory. The faintest pleasant or unpleasant scent paints a scene in our heads.
things are hardest and most unbearable when we cannot be in control.
minor triggers have the ability to revisit the most suppressed thoughts and the most unbearable...

a belated Thanksgiving post.
At the ripe ages of 70-something, my grandparents just recently moved into their new home a good half hour away from their last. It’s just the two of them and they had the company of my family quite often as we used to only be five minutes away. Even still, the change of location is ideal for them because it’s closer to the temple, where they spend the majority of their time. By...
what is the world coming to?
Allow me to re-direct you to my post on September 1st, 2009 entitled “Ten.” It’s best to consider this as a prologue solely so you know how angry this makes me:

SERIOUSLY?!
a happy post...kinda?
I was just walking home from a friend’s place stressing the entire way about how I still have to prepare for my interview, how I haven’t begun to study for my exam on Monday, how I have yet to tackle the impossible lab report due on Tuesday, and of course, being the pessimist that I am worrying about how the azithromycin that was just prescribed to me probably won’t...
