How do you manage to stay balanced and healthy in spite of the busy med school schedule? 

I developed this way of living in undergrad that there is a time and place for everything, there is time to play and there is time to work. I think having maintained that philosophy though this first year has kept me healthy, balanced and most importantly happy.
