Before leaving for freshman year of college, the toughest question most of us face is whether to bring our teddy bears. The intrepid members of the Stanford 2011 Pre-Meds facebook group already have that worked out -- along with the rest of their lives.

Members are having an in-depth discussion about which specific medical niches they see themselves in ... almost a decade from now. Even accounting for the fact that around half of them will grow weary of the cancer-stricken-rat race and end up as Studio Art majors, damn, they have their shit together.

Hopefully at least one of them ends up as a psychiatrist to offer counsel on my nascent inferiority complex.
