 medical school is so difficult that you won't have any free time. This I, I want to completely disagree with. I like to think of studying the degree of medicine, just like studying pretty much any other degree at university. You're going to have times where you have to do a lot more studying and things are going to be more intense and you'll have less time to do the activities that you want to do. But generally as a whole, as a degree, you definitely have time to do all the things that you want to, like extracurriculars, hanging out with your friends, having a social life, relationships, et cetera. I would actually argue that the first couple of years of medical school might be even easier than traditional life sciences degrees because you don't have as many assignments and exams and essays running throughout the year. You just have these really big exams towards the end of the year that you can absolutely have a complete life outside of medical school. You can pursue other interests like I have this entire YouTube channel. I still play all my sports, still hang out with my friends, have a great social life, relationships, et cetera. But as a whole, I think you'll have as much free time as any other degree. You just have to know how to manage your time well so that you can make the most out of the free time you actually have.
