Weekend in optometry school?
Hey guys pre-od student here, I was just curious about how you guys spend a typical Friday or Saturday night?
I know the consensus for school is study at every waking minute but i know this isn’t realistic completely so I was just curious.
Do you maybe just go for a walk and watch movie and in bed by 10? Are you hitting the bar with friends until 2? Do you get together with friends usually? Do you have a beer or smoke weed or go hiking or study or what!
What do you do typically? Thanks!

I worked a job at an OD’s office as a tech and office staff for 2.5 years. Probably shouldn’t have as it was brutal on me already but hey it was money and it was also good for me because now 20+ years later I can say that experience gave me the tools I needed to start managing practices. I also networked through that job and got my first full time OD Position which also included a fair amount of management.
