ANNUAL BALL
Hey! We’re Joe & Paige and we will be your Annual Ball Reps for this
coming academic year! That means we’ll be responsible for the
biggest night of the year! LMSS Annual Ball is a night of black tie and
fabulous frocks combined with this year’s theme of CARNIVAL!
We promised you MAGIC, FIRE BREATHERS, CANDY FLOSS,
POPCORN, and many more of your fun fair favourites! All this
included in the ticket price as well as a 3 course meal and an after
party with a live band and the DJ churning out your favourite hits.
Enter the Carnival and kick the evening off with the free drinks
reception and have a go at the VODKA LUGE (an LMSS Annual Ball
essential) whilst making the most of the PHOTO BOOTH to make
sure you remember the best night of the year (we often find we have
slightly hazy memories the day after).
But until January enjoy all the other great LMSS events and DON’T
BE SHY,
Lots of Annual Ball love, Joe & Paige xoxo
JOE CLARKSON & PAIGE HALL,

a chat with a former treasurer...
A big hello to all you new Freshers!
First of all a huge congratulations on making it to Medical School, and secondly, for choosing Liverpool.
You're in for a fantastic 5 years here and I honestly don't think you could've chosen a better city in which to
go to Uni.
My name is Joe and I'm an F2 doctor working at the Royal Liverpool Hospital. I was fortunate enough to
be in your shoes some 8 years ago now (scary!) and I have to say I'm incredibly jealous of you all for
having the whole Uni experience still ahead of you. Make the most of it; 5 years may seem like a life-time
but I promise you it will absolutely fly over and one of you unfortunate souls will inevitably be writing this
nostalgic welcome piece for the Freshers' Guide 8 years from now. It really does go that quick.
I was asked to write a short piece for the Freshers' Guide by the current LMSS Committee just to offer
some advice for you new lot. So, the boring bit first. First thing I would say is that you have done the hard
bit. Honestly, getting into Medicine is far, far more difficult than the course itself. Don't get me wrong, it's
not a complete breeze (you're doing Medicine after all), but the main challenge with this course is the
volume of work; not the difficulty. You've just come from doing A-levels where you have a mark scheme to
revise from, but you'll find Medicine slightly different. The volume of work is huge, but as long as you
manage your time well, make sure you're well organised, you will be absolutely fine. Try and keep on top
of it all, chip away at it bit by bit, and don't leave it all till the last minute.
