Single and Fabulous no longer the Old Maid..

I am not sure if this happens in other groups of people but in medical school....the drama is sky high, remember high school....its just like that except we live in nice places, drive cars, go out and drink and can participate in other adult activities....use your imagination and trust me you are not far off....

In terms of this type of drama, there seems to be a small epidemic going on in my class of originally 237 people. Roughly 29 are no longer in our class, 30 are married and 12 have recently gotten engaged (most of these in the last 3 weeks). I am not sure if its just me, but i seemed to have missed the memo, "get married between boards and rotations"

I guess i like to think of myself as living in the 21st century where a woman without a man is like fish without a bicycle, just as ridiculous as it sounds. Why is there a major rush to the alter?? where is the fire?? whats causing this epidemic?? considering the risk/ benefit analysis i cannot understand the benefit to gettin married at this stage of my life. There is no business model that would say entering into a contract when both parties are deep in debt (100-200K) alone and together start off their life nearly half a million in the hole is a logical or smart investment.

if you have any comments please post
