As an advocate of healthy living, have you a handful of particular (cooked or uncooked/raw) foods you might be fond of and would recommend to others ?
Personally, I like munching on a variety of nuts and the occasional raw vegetable salad. (lettuce, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts & celery with olive oil minus the dressing)
For a quick meal: stir fry with a little sriracha usually is what I do. You can use any vegetables you want and it will turn out great but don't overcook. also no soy sauce because that stuff is just liquid salt
For an even quicker meal: sautee some onions and chili peppers and microwave some of that instant ramen stuff (but don't use the flavoring powder). Combine them, add frozen vegetables and crack an egg or two on the whole thing and cook until the vegetables are warm and the eggs cooked. For something more involved: lasagna with spinach or eggplant filling instead of ground beef works really well. Basically a good rule of thumb is to substitute red meat with vegetables or white meat and substitute salt with low-sodium spices and seasoning. For snacks I usually have granola or greek yogurt.

I know your pain, though I never took an operation yet, since it just like goes on and off.
Ontopic: I've had this condition(?) for long now, can't remember really when it started but I always have this feeling that my sinus is always blocked by something, if it helps I used to smoke. I can't be fucked to ask my doctor even tho i always go for a checkup.
Might be allergies or infection, depending on how severe your symptoms are you might want to go see a doctor

Every time I go outside the first time in a day, I can't help sneezing multiple times. I feel like it's happening especially if it is windy or particularly sunny. How come?
Textbook example of photic sneeze reflex.

Unusual but normal unless you have other symptoms.

I rarely have hiccups - when I do it lasts long and 90% of the time it escalates to the point I'm in a pretty bad pain.
Also, when I am at home, I get to sneeze violently (and that lasts for 10 minutes). I took a test few years ago to know if I have allergies, and I don't have any allergies except mites (which would be doubtful since I would sneeze a lot at my student room - which actually never happens). I open my windows frequently to renew the air in the room.
Pain with hiccups is usually from stiff chest muscles or diaphragm and you should definitely tell a doctor about this. As for your sneezing, some kind of allergen or airborne particle is triggering it. Could be dust, smoke, pollen or something else. I don't know any specifics about what the allergy test you took was specifically testing for but this is what causes triggered fits of sneezing.

My right thumb twitches when playing osu for 20+ minutes when using my mouse. Is this normal?
No lol take breaks it's probably from overuse or holding your thumb or hand in an awkward position which can apply pressure to nerves

Edit: Or rather you can branch out from the medical field into a more specific one such as pharmacy/radiology/OBGYN/Surgical/Orthopedics/Respiratory etc
Well several of reasons. Primary reason is that military scholarships for medicine are actually competitive and there's a whole application process involved. There's also the fact that by going that path, you waive your rights as a civilian and the government has complete control over you.

Good idea but I'm lazy and it's hard to do on mobile

How many times a day do we have to take a bath? I frequently take 3 baths a day, but some say that it's not good.
1-2 times per day. Too much bathing will make your skin dry and also kills protective bacteria on your skin surface.

Do you really think weed has any health benefits?
It's decent at helping cancer patients with severe nausea and vomiting who underwent chemotherapy and it's also a somewhat good painkiller.

Why do my hands always get really cold? Particularly throughout the later parts of the day, like, ice cold?
Also, how can you distinguish between arthritis and general cramp/muscle pain? e.g. using a pen for a prolonged period of time gives me fairly uncomfortable pain in the the three knuckle joints of my middle finger, ring finger and my pinky finger. Although I'm not sure if it's just where my muscles are getting cramped or whether I may have arthritis (A lot of my relatives have it.)
Your cold hands are likely Raynaud's Phenomenon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raynaud's_phenomenonMuscle pain and cramps aren't felt at the joints. What you have is arthralgia, probably caused from overuse. Arthralgia = joint pain, arthritis = joint swelling. Just take a break or if it gets bad use ice.

You're probably hypothyroid but don't need treatment unless you're experiencing other symptoms like muscle weakness, chronic fatigue/tiredness or thinning hair or if you're concerned about sudden weight gain.
