Develop good study habits: Vet school is challenging and requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Developing good study habits early on, such as setting aside dedicated study time, using effective study techniques, and staying organized, can help you succeed in the long run.

Take advantage of resources and support: Vet school can be overwhelming at times, but there are many resources and support available to help you succeed. This includes professors, tutors, academic advisors, and counseling services. Don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it.

i would also add: Get involved in extracurricular activities: Joining clubs or organizations related to veterinary medicine can provide opportunities to network with professionals, gain hands-on experience, and develop new skills. It can also be a great way to make friends with similar interests and passions.

Practice self-care: Taking care of your physical and mental health is important during vet school. Make time for exercise, healthy eating, and adequate sleep. Don't hesitate to seek out mental health support if you need it.

Stay curious and motivated: Veterinary medicine is a dynamic and constantly evolving field. Stay curious, motivated, and open to new ideas and experiences. This can help you stay engaged and motivated throughout vet school and beyond.

Study hard. As early as now you have to decide if being a veterinarian is really what you want to do for the rest of your life.

Start studying from 1st day of college. I know it sounds boring but trust me if you want to rise above from crowd you have to do something different and more than ordinary students.

Read as much books you can for every subjects because it becomes your habit and would help you in your further year of degree. Learn anatomy by heart. You should know everything given in that book. It would really help you in further year subjects and also in clinical practice.

Apart from studying only from the books, one should always try to learn the main objectives of Veterinary for which the Practical classes will help quite efficiently. Always try to lead in the group when you are taught something in Practicals.

Try to grasp as much as you can as the further years would be a waste if you don’t know the basics. The most important thing in this industry is the basic so try and learn as much as you can.

Make a study habit. Whatever works for you because it is personal. Best of luck!

You're adjusting to a new school and environment, trying to make new friends, and being bombarded with information and words you've never heard before. Give it time! Good luck, and you got this!

Make friends! And you need to treat them like your new family. Obviously, you will have your friends and family at home too, but you need someone close by to talk to as well. We have all had classes or tests we struggled with, but we just helped each other out. Vet school is hard, but it is doable. Just make sure you really want to pursue it.

I applied to Amazon job in LinkedIn . Got a mail to complete a Hacker Earth test from Amazon . But i felt not prepared and didn't even try it thinking i might fail and they might not shortlist me the next time when i apply again after preparing .
Do they track any data like who didn't attend the test so they can ignore them next time? Or if i prepare good enough and reapply again after 3 to 4 months would this cause any issue?

My mom doesn’t want to spend money but it just hurts me so much to see the behavior - she walks around in constant circles, looks sad, seizures, hides under the bed. Any advice would be appreciated.

If you're being told "take your full lunch" (because by law you need to be given a certain amount of lunch depending on how many hours you work) but then you're told, if work's not done you need to stay until it is, and now people don't want to take their full lunches because it means they'll have to stay after work longer, is that coercion a violation of any federal labor laws?

How do you address pay discrepancies? I just found out a VT hired a year after me, with less experience, is making $2 more an hour. She was hired when they were desperate for staff which I’m guessing is why, but I’ve felt bitter ever since finding out.
