^ In response to living amongst an abundance of premeds, the most overwhelming part of it for me is the pressure to compare yourself to others, considering that my peers are doing amazing things of all sorts. My knee-jerk reaction to this environment at first was to go to all the premed club meetings and premed related seminars on how to get into medical school, etc., etc. But then I realized that was ultimately stressing me out more without actually changing anything. What ended up helping me is having a small group of premed friends to go through the premed struggle with. Also, having non-premed friends and engaging in experiences completely unrelated to medicine helps put my experiences in perspective, as @NixonDenier said.
At the end of the day, you can’t do everything or be great at everything. So in a way, the amount of premeds really pushed me to find the things that I was passionate about. Both career-type things, and just new ways of having fun. Focusing on those things is what keeps me from getting swept up in the stress and driven culture of premed life.
