#unconditional offer

Even though studying medicine has been the ultimate goal for so long, over the last few months/year working in healthcare I have begun to question whether it really is the job I want to do for the rest of my life.

Because I’ve come to realise the reality - it is exhausting hours with little gratitude and time for anything else in life. There’s a huge part of me that craves being a doctor, but now there’s also a part of me that craves time and space and energy for the other things that I enjoy in life - like dancing, working out, reading a book, learning a language, watching a film. Will I always be too exhausted, have too much to study, have shifts that are too long to enjoy any of this?

I can’t stay in the job I’m currently doing forever. As great as it is, it doesn’t challenge me, and there’s not much opportunity to progress and make a career of it. So eventually I’ll need to find something that will satisfy and fulfil me.

So I’ve been thinking about research, maybe pursuing a PhD in future, going on to do something like lecturing. My only worry is that I didn’t really get the opportunity to get involved with a lot research during my undergraduate degree. I thought about doing a master’s course, one that would offer me the opportunity to gain confidence in research and also give me chance to really get into a subject that will interest me and challenge me. 

I fell in love with a course in Molecular Neuroscience and I’m so excited to say I’ve accepted an offer to begin studying in September. 

Having received so much rejection from countless medicine applications, it was refreshing to be given an unconditional offer to study a course I actually really wanted to do.

Here's the thing, I got an unconditional university offer, right? but there is still the underlying personal pressure to do well, which, honestly is normal.

i even wanted to check on various websites (UK approved) and they have said variations of the same thing:

Security: Accepting an unconditional offer means that you have already secured your place on the course, regardless of your exam results.

Reduced stress: Without the pressure of having to achieve certain grades, you may experience reduced stress and be able to focus on other aspects of your life.

Freedom: An unconditional offer can give you the freedom to explore other opportunities or take a gap year without worrying about meeting academic requirements.

Time to prepare: With an unconditional offer, you may feel you have more time to prepare for university and start planning your future.

And I have experienced l reduced stress and time to prepare for my degree, but because I did EPQ, English Lit, History (it's also the degree i wanna do), and Psychology - what would happen if I fail one, but achieve the other three? would i have to go through clearing like everyone else? or am i a special case because of me already meeting qualifications?

idk, this post was originally meant to be an update post, but i guess now i'm just letting myself let my thoughts and feelings through. But if someone does have answers for the questions above, then:
