My Journey To Medicine

This past Saturday my friends planned a farewell dinner/night out on the town for me and it was such a great time. Being celebrated is such an amazing feeling you know? :) Sighhhhh...I'm going to miss these guys.  XOXO #AntiguaBound!! Too Hot 2 Trot Thank You Speech Time Fun Times!!! Fun Times!!!
