It's So Real Now

I am so so blessed to have an acceptance, but now that initial euphoria has worn off, and I seriously start considering the real-life logistics like apartments, it feels so real. Is it normal to have some doubts creep in about if this is actually what I want to do? Like it's such a huge commitment and for such a long time.

Don't get me wrong, I have thought long and hard about why and if I wanna do medicine, and I wouldn't have spent the time and so much money to go thru this if I didn't wanna practice medicine. I've dissected the pros and cons of helping people in this way and training to specifically practice medicine as a way to make a difference. Like hearing things "you should only do it if you're sure" isn't super helpful.

How I am supposed to know for sure what future me will wanna do? Like I can shadow and ask questions and imagine life as a doctor but I won't really truly know, yk? Does anyone else feel this way? Sorry for the ramble-y-ness and thank u all in advance for any thoughts
