Match Day has come and gone. A whirlwind of emotions has hit medical students on that day. Some joy, some of ambivalence, some of disappointment. However, no matter what emotion you feel that day, you will need to start planning for lays ahead of you. The rest of your 4th year should be relatively easy as you will probably need to spend some time finding a new place to live and things like that. Please refer […]

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays and I haven’t talked about Crypto in awhile, so we’ll ponder this question “Is Crypto Dead? (again)” Is Crypto Dead? (again) Sort of. Bitcoin (and Crypto) has had its death called for many, many times. There is even a counter. 2018 has been crypto dying a long slow death over the course of this year. All of the hype surrounding it has pretty much died down. I think that the […]
