i just found out that 3 of my primary school friends are in med school


med-fucking-school.


the same people who used to sit in the same class as me, do the same papers as me, play hopscotch, catching and monkey bars during recess with me.


We had comparable grades until the bloody streaming in P4 put them in one class above me. Why? They did higher chinese. I couldn't (actually I could have but I didn't want to kill myself, yet).

So now they are studying to be doctors (think Grey's) where daily work means saving lives and maybe even bringing life into this world.

While they're at that, I'm probably working myself to death for low pay in an industry where deception is part of my job scope and rising in ranks means putting on a fake front and pandering to the wants of those around me.

so what if I'm in one of the most sought-after courses in poly? big deal.



I'm a fucking underachiever.
