It's holiday season!! 🎄 If you're in the midst of studying for the MCAT, you might be feeling all kinds of ways... You might be feeling trapped, having to study while you see others around you taking breaks from their busy lives and having fun.  You might be feeling guilty, not studying as much as you think you should be, while spending a lot of time with family and friends.  We've been there. Those of us who tested in Jan or March were dealing with the same struggles during the December holidays. In fact, this is an issue regardless of when you're taking the MCAT (it's no different if you're testing in the summer!). We got through it but today as we're tutoring students, we're seeing history repeat itself!  Here's the deal: More often than not, we're too hard on ourselves. We're seeing students completely isolate from social interactions, facing burnout, and losing our on both ends; their scores don't increase because of the stress, and they don't get to enjoy the holiday season either! We're not saying you have to pick one or the other (good MCAT score or chill with fam/friends)... We're saying it's possible to have both! How?  That's what Monika and Ariana are discussing in this special podcast episode! Both dealt with these inner conflicts, yet they both scored 90+ percentile on the MCAT! 🙌  Here's their advice for you.
