Who the heck is WCLothario?

Status: MS1

This little corner of the internet is a public service announcement about a probable terrible decision. My decision. I'm talking about medical school, the only place where you're promised the secrets to saving lives but are mostly just taught how to function on a cocktail of caffeine, sleep deprivation, and the self-loathing that makes you question everything.

I was informed that a blog would be a healthy outlet for the "ensuing stress." This was suggested by a wellness counselor … and lo! a blog was born.

You will find a collection of short essays/notes on the human condition, usually my own, and it's not looking good. You'll also find my attempts to apply complex analytical frameworks to topics like the ballooning national student debt situation, studying habits, and romantic relationships. You'll also also find a running tally of my own questionable life choices, shortcuts in learning, faking my way through school, and other things. Inspiring stuff, really.

Consider this your warning. Proceed at your own risk. Or don't. It makes no difference to me; I have a physiology lecture to sleep through.
