I’ve met a couple of second-year med students.
I thought I was organized but apparently, I’ve just scratched the surface.
Everyone uses Google calendar β€œGCal” - for EVERYTHING,
and I’ve seen it, their days are packed - bye-bye β€˜free time.’

Want to grab lunch, hang-out or even hook-up with someone?
Check their GCal and send them an invite.

(poem time!)..

GCal flex πŸ’»βœ¨

I got the word πŸ’¬ At first 🎬 I was lowkey sus 🀨
could it be thus ⁉️ but they offered proof πŸ’―

GCal πŸ’» runs πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈthe superiority complex 🏫
everyone keeps-it-g πŸ’»βœ¨connectedly πŸ‘­

AI puts our schedule πŸ“†πŸ•°οΈ in GCal πŸ’» form,
so right away β›— 🏁, we’re Β½ πŸŒ“ way home 🏠

The typical school day = 12 hrs πŸ“…
Save your brain, let GCal πŸ’»βœ¨be 🐝 the boss πŸ§ βž‘οΈπŸ’€

Sleep 😴, snacks πŸ•, 5-mi walk πŸšΆβ™€οΈβ€” got it on lock πŸ”’
No wingin’ it 🚫, just colored blocks ⬛️ all on the clock πŸ•’

So, freshie AV πŸ‘©πŸŽ“ will get a ping πŸ“±β€” β€œCome chill?” πŸ›‹οΈ
I’ll click yes βœ”οΈ, cause it’s just the drill πŸ”¬

β€œShare lunch?” 🍽️ Invite sent βœ‰οΈ
Netflix and chill 🍿? Event alert! 🚨

Invite a romantic move πŸ’Œ β€œHook up?” 11:30 PM πŸͺ›πŸŒ™
You never ♾️ know, he πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ/she πŸ’β€β™€οΈ might accept πŸ”© β˜”

Maybe GCalΒ Β πŸ’» love is πŸ’” or lit πŸ”₯, but dating’s doomed πŸ’€,
in the calculus of m-school scheduling πŸ—“οΈπŸ™…β™€οΈ, so just move πŸš› on

In med-school β€‹β€‹πŸ“š, we’re like a team πŸ–‡οΈ, we need to be tight πŸ—œοΈ,
we’re all πŸ‘₯ on the clock ⏰, and nothing πŸ«™ can be left to chance 🎲.
