Food, Drinks, and more Food!
Mexican Pizza
Patel’s (like Rev) are from this Indian state.
Gujarat
“Bang!” Is that a firework or a gunshot? Temple’s orientation tells students they can distinguish loud noises by whether or not they have this unique feature.
Echo
This classic medical based-soap opera, while nothing like what everyone encounters in your actual rotations, deserves a rewatch every once in a while especially when a new season gets released.
Grey's Anatomy
Didactics, rotations, exams, studying. Rev simply thought that there was more time in her schedule for this role to help organize events and service opportunities.
Class President
Drinks with glitter might be fun on night outs, but this simple and reliable 2 ingredient mixed drink is what might get Rev through a night of heavy drinking.
Rum and coke
On top of English and some conversational Spanish, Rev can flaunt the fluency of these two Indian languages on her resumes to woo potential employers.
Hindi and Gujarati
Taco bell is nice, but sometimes more authentic Mexican restaurants like this restaurant near her apartment are preferred where Rev can order some delicious Birria Tacos.
El Purepecha
Need a traffic cone? Or how about a park bench? Play this song to have Rev and some fellow sisters retrieve one for you.
Sweet Escape
Rev chose these two specialties to have as her elective rotations.
Plastics and PM&R
Bud Light
One of Rev’s favorite Indian festivals Navatri includes this traditional dance done in circles and lasts for 9 days.
Garba
Need to negotiate with a 20 year old bouncer about the cover charge or contract molluscum contagiosum in a filthy ball pit? Do both here at this iconic club in philly. (Our potential nightcap?)
Concourse
Rev once spent an entire Saturday watching this famous trilogy of movies about a man, elf, a dwarf and some small friends totalling roughly 10 hours of run time, because Matt really wanted her to watch them.
Lord of the Rings
Over the course of her rotational year, Rev has developed this gastro-related disease that has put quite the damper on her diet and lifestyle.
GERD
Her favorite food, that is best fresh and served with shredded amul cheese, is this potato patty sandwich that typically fills 50% of Rev’s luggage space when coming back from India.
Vada Pav
While Rev might have been born in the Bronx, she grew up in this city until she moved back to America.
Vadodara
This temperature-altered workout activity has been a recent and very important staple in Rev’s schedule before or after a shift/class.
Hot yoga
One of Rev’s favorites is this rom-com classic that follows a girl in medical school who falls in love with an adventurous man, who is played by Ranveer Singh. Or is it Ranbir Kapoor?
YJHD
Sunshine and beaches might not sound better than homeless people and high crime rates, but the latter sure won Rev over when deciding between Temple and this other PA program she got accepted to.
South, West Palm Beach
This average diner breakfast meal holds a special place in Rev’s heart for being one of the first dishes ordered in America where if you don’t specify, it will come “plain”. That is, with no onions, peppers and spices.
Omelette
Rev might not have a license to ride one here, but she sure doesn't need one to drive this vehicle that especially comes in handy for meeting friends nearby or escaping wild dogs in India.
Moped
Mario Kart is fun to play at Karmen’s, but to get there one must conquer the real life rainbow road on the drive over on Rev’s least favorite road in America.
Kelly Drive
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Bang Bang!, and Mohenjo Daro are among movies that star this famous 6-fingered Bollywood actor, one of Rev's favorites.
Hrithik Roshan
Make new friends, but keep the old, is what Rev would say about her reusable water/beverage containers throughout the course of PA school as she has gone through this many cups.
5 (that i could count)
(Seton hall one, thermos one, owala, current one (unspillable), new white coffee one)
