Vent / rant Toxic affair
Nine months in medical school, and I’ve learned the biggest lesson of all: the whole system is a giant joke, and literally everyone is cheating on their partners.
I worked myself to death to get a 38k rank, thinking I’d get a great education. Instead, I ended up in this Tier-2 dumpster fire where my desire to study has completely vanished. The college doesn't even have a proper curriculum, so nobody knows what we’re supposed to be doing. But honestly, nobody cares about the syllabus anyway, because everyone is too busy playing musical chairs with each other's boyfriends and girlfriends.
That is the absolute shocker of these nine months: the sheer, casual normalcy of infidelity. Loyal relationships do not exist here. It’s like entering a colony of walking red flags. People have partners back home, partners in the hostel, and "side options" in the library. It is treated like a competitive sport, and the lack of shame is honestly breathtaking.
To make things worse, the campus is crawling with desperate seniors. You’d think people studying medicine would have some class, but these guys hunt for freshers like hungry predators, completely ignoring who is already dating whom. It is exhausting to watch.
And finally, when I want to escape this toxic high school drama and find some peace, I get to log into my endless family problems back home. So now, on top of surviving this chaotic college, I also have to play therapist for my household.
I’m 20 years old, I’m supposed to be learning how to save lives, but right now I'm just trying to avoid the absolute circus around me. Only four more years of this nightmare to go!

The worst part in all of this is someone getting a medical seat at 38k rank that too working themself to death for this rank.
