I’ve been a Doctor for a whole year!!! 🤯 That’s insane!!! 😱 I can’t believe how fast time has gone by ⏳ I feel like it was just yesterday that this day happened 🤓 I think the only real reminder I have that it’s really been a year is how far my natural hair color has grown out in that time 😂
☀️

☀️
I’m happy I can look back on this day with happiness though 🥹 I remember being SO INCREDIBLY NERVOUS beforehand 😬 I even cried in the bathroom of my new job the Monday before my defense 😅 And eventhough I got some really tough questions during my defense 😥 I think I was able to answer them quite well 😃 Or at least well enough to pass 🥳
☀️

☀️
And now I’ve been a doctor for a year 🤯 Like whaaaaaat?! Me?! For reals?! 😳 It still doesn’t feel real sometimes 😅 But I do try to flaunt it every now and then 😏 Just cause I can 😉 And I deserve to after so many years of hard work 😋
