I commit to getting the necessary 8 hours of sleep each night in order for my mind and body to function properly
My commitment is to set aside time for my family, friends and dog to alleviate stress, relax, and just have fun. I enjoy trying out new restaurants with my friends and taking my dog on car rides.
I am committed to rest. I prioritize every aspect of my life over resting so I am committed to getting in bed no later than 10:00pm and taking a glass of water to bed to encourage me to drink more water.

My commitment is to sleep 8 hours every day. Too many days where I have gone into clinicals or class with 5 or less hours of sleep. I will do this by doing my homework and hanging out with friends and having everything done by 10 PM.
I will drink 3 L of water a day and at least 2 L during my clinical rotations. By the end of any given day I am typically dehydrated so hopefully this will serve as a reminder to drink throughout the day rather than waiting until I am incredibly thirsty.
