My brother on Medical Residency Match Day

Discussion on my anxiety over opening my residency match results in a room with my entire medical school class:


me:  no because we have to open it in a room in front of all of our class
and what if I'm really disappointed by what the envelope says?
 Zachary:  wait you have to open it in front of your entire class?
 me:  yes
like everyone has an envelope in this room
and at noon we all get to go get them and open them
 Zachary:  what is this, sorority recruitment?
 Zachary:  literally that is how sorority recruitment decisions are made at NU
the really douchey frats would go down to the quad and watch as an entire field of girls opened their match envelopes
 me:  wow
so yes the same thing
 Zachary:  that's awful
me:  pretty much
I've been having nightmares
 Zachary:  oh common
you'll be fine
everything ends up for the best
 Zachary:  then regardless of what happens, you have to have a set plan
I suggest that you have a fake envelope in your pocket
 Zachary:  you discretely switch the envelopes, and spike the fake one while yelling "Booooyaaaa"
Zachary:  then run out the room laughing
and open the real envelope at home by yourself
 Zachary:  0% chance of failure
100% chance of hilarity
oh and let one person in your class in on it and have them film it
youtube sensation
 Zachary:  throw in a little touchdown dance
maybe the dougie
 Zachary:  hahah if you really want to go crazy, in the fake envelope that you spike, put some burger king coupons
so you spike it and after you run out, people are like 'what the fck' so they check your envelope eventually ...
burger king coupons
