Spooky season is here as well as my favorite time of year - the HOLIDAYS! Whenever temperatures start taking a dip, I know that it is finally time to pile on the clothes, stuff my face with food and start decorating the house. Even with all these impending celebrations, 2020 has been a real testament to my perception on life. 

I started the year on my ambulatory care rotation when COVID was still a foreign entity that, quite frankly, no one seemed to care about. Flash forward to March when I was on my hospital rotation and the sheer number of patients being admitted to the emergency department with a chief complain of "shortness of breath" shot up 100%. Masks became scarce. Gloves ran out faster than ever before. Hand sanitizer became a hot commodity... it's a surreal thing to live through in my 20's. Despite the tragedy we all came to witness from the pandemic to wildfires to injustice, I'm trying to stay optimistic in this dystopian world. I am grateful for so many things in my life and I'm going to enjoy the last leg of 2020 as much as I can. Hoping you and all your loved ones are safe, healthy, and well!
