How can I, as a med student, honor my passions and still give myself permission to rest without guilt? Any advice or strategies would mean so much — I really want to find a balance that works. 💛

I’m a med student, and I’ve made up my mind that any spare time I have, I want to put effort into my other passions — filmmaking, writing, acting, and ambassadorship. But saying it out loud now makes me wonder… will I even have space to just relax? I know my free time will be so limited, and I worry that if I take a moment to rest, I’ll feel guilty for not being productive. These passions are such a big part of who I am, and I want to honor them even while I focus on becoming a doctor, but I also want to be able to rest without constantly worrying that I’m wasting time, running out of time, or not using my time wisely. I’d be so grateful for any advice or tips on how to honor my passions while also giving myself permission to rest and recharge without guilt. Your guidance would mean so much to me and really help me find a balance that works. 💛

How do people with big creative dreams manage to thrive in medicine without burning out?

I just got into college to study medicine 🎉, and today my mom and I went for my clearance and a short tour around my faculty. Meeting some of the medical students made everything feel so real — and honestly, a little overwhelming. I learned that I won’t start my core medical lectures until 200 level, but once I do, it gets very intense: no long breaks, few holidays, and long hours of study and practicals. Hearing all that made me start thinking deeply about how I’ll combine my medical career with the other things I’m passionate about — filmmaking, storytelling, writing, acting, and ambassadorship. Medicine is my main path because I truly love helping people, but those creative dreams also mean a lot to me. How can I begin building these other parts of myself now, during my pre-med year, and still stay focused enough to succeed in medicine later on? I’d really appreciate any advice from people who’ve juggled multiple passions or careers. 💫
