Disclaimer

“Jordan Soze” is a pseudonym I made when I signed up for an online music forum when I was in high school. Consider all stories fiction. Consider rants, raves, and opinions as hyperbolic stress-relief which are not representative of my true personal beliefs. In everything I write, many details are obscured and obfuscated to protect anonymity.

Who Am I? 

I’m a fourth year medical student. Writing has always been an outlet for me to express my thoughts, opinions, and give advice to others.

I want to give readers the advice I wish I could have given myself when I started. (And not some surface level Buzzfeed-quality articles about staying happy in medical school with cliche, generic advice like “make time for your hobbies”). I aim to give real, actionable advice, that you can incorporate into your daily routine.

Sometimes I’ll have a particularly funny or bad day, and I’ll write about it in my Med School Memoirs series. Other times I just feel like writing something satirical to make myself laugh. For all things medical school, see my Medical School page.

In addition to being a medical student, I am passionate about music. I play guitar. I’ve seen over 100 different artists perform live. My apartment is adorned with my favorite records framed on my walls. But sadly, I don’t really have any friends to talk to music about. So I find solace in writing about music on the internet. To read my posts on music, head over to my Music page.

Since I was a little kid, the smell of buttery popcorn & movie theaters have been a source of nostalgia for me. To read my movie reviews and recommendations, check out my Movies page.

I do not make any money from this site. I do not write to gain personal popularity or acknowledgement. I do not want anyone to know who I am. This site is simply for your enjoyment. If you gain advice that helps you in medical school, check out a good movie I recommended, or simply find yourself subtly chuckling at one of my stupid posts, I’ve done my job.

Another disclaimer: If you by chance happen to read my posts and think, “hmm…. that sounds an awful lot like a guy I know”, please do not ever say a word about it. Do not tell other friends and classmates. I can count on one hand the number of people (in real life) who I have trusted enough to tell about this site. I get very anxious when I think about friends and classmates finding out.  Consequently, I would like to stay as anonymous as possible. I write here to give advice, to vent, to tell a joke, to distract myself from studying. If my anonymity is compromised, I will not be able to do this any longer. Thanks for understanding.
