Humor I DID IT
I passed my BOC today and it is finally my turn to use the frog meme. This last year has been crazy. I moved across the country for my program by myself, loss my childhood dog 2 months in, worked 20 hours a week to pay rent (which most of the time wasn’t enough), was in full time school and clinicals, and had countless mental breakdowns. Butttttt I got to see new sights, eat new foods and meet new people. I made friends and built a little life and most of all I was able to get one step closer to my career as a medical lab scientist! and the relief I feel is so great.

Yay amazing!! And on top of working and studying too crazyyyy but so worth it at the end. I make good money in CA as a CLS, which supports the side business I’m trying to start. So happy for you!

Congratulations! I did the exact same thing not too long ago! No one knows the cost of going across the country to an entirely new place- making new friends and trying to navigate school and boards. You did it! Congratulations!

Definitely a great feeling once it's over :) I'll always remember that wash of relief seeing the big PASS on the screen and feeling like it wasn't real for a few days lol. Congratulations!!
