Honesty about graduating
Hey everyone! Making this on a throw away account and trying to be vague as possible because I do fear retaliation from either admin or other students.
Seeking honesty. I am about to graduate and I can’t help but feel, empty? I had a pretty rough time in vet school with some stuff that happened in my personal life, vet school friendships and had to revamp everything. Fourth year was disappointing with the lack of respect for students, and lack of care on a lot of rotations to support student learning. We have these awards that get given to students and seeing who has won them it makes me feel a bit angry? Some of the people who won were extremely toxic within the class towards others. I tried to do a lot during vet school and just don’t feel accomplished or celebrated when there’s a weird award system like that. Sorry I can’t get more specific without revealing things.
We are graduating very soon and I can’t help but feel empty. I don’t feel ready to practice at all, and I feel like the extra curriculars I did during vet school were pointless. I’m just feeling so depressed as we approach graduation, and I wanted to know if anyone else felt this way too. I also just feel like my institution failed me. How did you get out of that funk if you did feel that way? Are there any other students who feel similarly?
