    I learned in my A&P class that the Laurinaitis canaciculi that drain excess tears into the nasal duct become obscured when sleeping, so tears can't drain away as well and which is why your eyes are more puffy if you cry before sleeping!

    I understand the post test cry/meltdown/release. I was so stressed about my AP lab practical midterm which was 60% bones, bone markings and articulations. I took the test, prayed, hit submit and then cried! The next day. I took a mental health day to recover. Lol.

    Hello gorgeous, first thing first, you are an incredibly awesome human being and the world is so lucky to have you, your future patients will be lucky to have you as their physician! You are destined to be a physician, it really suits you and you gonna be a really great one! You are so determined and it is so motivational! I know it's hard, but it's gonna be worth it, as the hard work that's paying off! You know it! But please remember to be kind to yourself and give yourself a small break and time just for you because it still will be a long way, but you are going to make it! We are here for you, always! I know it's lame, but my dream is to meet you, and just talk to you for some time, because every time I watch your video it gives me so much optimistic energy and motivation, it's almost unbelievable.
    And if you feel like doing it, you can show us, how your 'after exam kinda routine/ reward time' looks like, or your weekend or your study routine and all that stuff, I'd be really interested in it.
    Take care of yourself! Love you.
