Hello, Kai !
It may be a great time for you to learn about Medical School and although I have not attended Medical School, as an actor I have been employed doing scripted simulation scenes (with me portraying the patient) with Medical Students during their exams and finals. I was around a couple of medical schools when I did this so I wanted to participate in contributing some of my impressions.
Most medical schools are huge and the ones I worked in were ultra modern and very attractive. There seemed to be an equal amount of male and female students, from very diverse ethnic backgrounds, and they all seemed to be very pleasant and appreciative. I also saw how the students supported each other as well as observed and reviewed how they worked as a team. There always seemed to be a cohesive and sincere rapport among the students.
Most of the professors were very upbeat and full of energy, wanting to see their students do their best. The professors were helpful no matter what happened.
A good way for you to get a glimpse of what Medical School can be like is to contact some medical schools in your area and ask if you can have an orientation or tour of the campus and buildings. Two colleges that are a must see are the fairly new California Northstate University College of Medicine right near you in Elk Grove. The second suggestion I have of course is UC Davis School of Medicine. I have left links to videos of these schools that you can view before visiting them.
I would encourage you to return and ask questions that target the exact things you are wondering about. Every medical college is different and you should ask about the things you exactly want to know about. I do hope that this is a bit helpful and I wish you well in your exploration and preparation for college. Best wishes to you in all you do !

Kai,
College is very rewarding. It if your chance to meet people of different viewpoints, backgrounds, and interests and peacefully hold discussions that allow everyone involved to grow. University means unity and diversity and that is exactly what college is like. It broadens your perspective and helps you decide what kind of person you want to be. College allows you to pick and choose what you want to implement in your own life rather than only living the way that your parents raised you. College also allows you to make the beliefs you do hold near, your own, and learn to defend them.
If you’re going into the medical field the hands-on part was my favorite. Skills labs and clinicals allow you to hone the skills you’ll need for your profession and develop confidence in many areas. You’ll see that you are capable of caring for patients and savings lives, while getting real life experience within a safe and controlled environment.
Best of luck to you on your endeavors! Remember to prioritize your mental health as a college student. College can be hard and stressful. Cut down on screen time, enjoy nature, try walks, runs, yoga, etc. Choose happiness each day.
Career shadow someone in your chosen field
Tour the colleges you are interested in
Get a planner for school & a separate one for your life! This is a must to maintain sanity, stay organized, and meet deadlines!
Develop an outdoor or exercise-based hobby. Yoga is great for stress, flexibility, and inner peace. Walks and runs are also fantastic!
Prioritize your mental health. Cut back on screen time! You’ll be amazed how much you can get done when your free time is spent completing tasks rather than scrolling!
