After studying medicine for one year, I’ve crafted a new personality and have had three identity crises. Despite this, my desire for love is strong – it immensely saddens me to find out that everyone’s been linking up in the lead up to the grand finale of cuffing season: Christmas. My previous quest for love ended in shambles as my brother was the sole heart react to my UNSW Love Letters post (see Jugular Article HEART BEEN BROKE: A First-year’s Journey to Finding Love on UNSW Love Letters). However, as the resilient, charming and innovative future cardiothoracic surgeon I am, I’ve made another love letter in an attempt to find the HDL-C to my LDL-C, the pacemaker to my arrhythmia, the globus pallidus internal to my globus pallidus external.
