Your dental school career goes quicker than you think. No matter what year you’re in, create a bucket list to ensure you’re doing everything you wanted while there’s still time. Here’s some items to consider:
* ❑ Meet your professors. Ask him or her to grab coffee or a drink. By getting to know them outside of class, you’re building a connection that could be useful to you in the future.
* ❑ Drop the distractions. Dental school is hard work, and anything that distracts you from your goals should be left behind.
* ❑ Get to know the campus. Figure out where the student facilities are – the bookstore, the library, the closest coffee shop to your classes. You know, the important things.
* ❑ Join clubs and organizations, or don’t. Getting involved with dental school clubs and organizations is great, but don’t feel pressured to just because everyone else is.
* ❑ Get a professional headshot taken. If you want to be treated like a professional, you must look like a professional. It’s important to make a good impression in-person and online.
* ❑ Find a study spot. This should be somewhere you can put yourself into study-mode and have a focused mindset.
* ❑ Hang out with your peers inside and outside of class. They’ll become your best friends, and the people you’ll rely on the most.
* ❑ Explore the city. If you’re attending dental school in a new city, spend a day exploring. You may even consider a quick trip to a fun destination nearby.
* ❑ Take advantage of any and all free food. Because, well, dental school is expensive.
* ❑ Find a mentor. Navigating through your career, at any stage, can be overwhelming. Find a mentor who will give you honest, yet positive feedback and guidance.
* ❑ Attend professional development events. Chances are you’ll learn something new at one of these events, and it’s a great opportunity to build yourself personally and professionally.
* ❑ Go to class… There’s no cramming for tests like you did in undergrad. Really soak in all the information. After all, what you learn is what you’ll be doing for the rest of your life.
