Now that Jenn has the world at her feet, she addressed some "important stuff" regarding her career and future plans in a recent Instagram video she titled "PA school update."

Jenn began by saying, "Everyone has been asking this question for a while now -- am I dropping out of PA school? And the answer is yes."

Jenn paused and then moved the camera closer to her face, before yelling, "No! You guys are crazy, no! Guys, I am not dropping out of PA school. I am just taking a little break. I took a break for filming of The Bachelorette, obviously, but now I'm back."

Jenn, however, admitted she's "in a bit of a pickle" right now because she's been doing a lot of press events.

"There's just so much going on in my life right now. I'm in L.A. every other weekend," Jenn explained.

"So, I was going to finish up the second half of my emergency rotation -- which is the rotation I was in the middle of before I left for The Bachelorette -- and the plan was to finish that right now, during this [summer] time. But I wasn't thinking because this is actually the craziest time of my life!"

Jenn said she either wants to "fully focus" on her The Bachelorette stint or "fully focus" on her schoolwork, suggesting it's very difficult to do both simultaneously.

"I think the new plan, right now, is that I'm going to further push back my emergency rotation until September, which is when the show stops airing and all of this chaos is going to die down," Jenn shared.

"I think that's the best plan for me, because I will be able to focus on it and I'll be able to go into these shifts having studied... [I'll be able] to really immerse myself in it."

Jenn pointed out how she only has seven shifts to make up but she doesn't want to do them half-heartedly.

"I don't want to just finish the shifts. I want to learn and do well and be a good provider," Jenn insisted. "If, at the end of the day, that's my goal, then I need to dedicate the time that it deserves."

Jenn said after going back to school in the fall, she'll "go from there" and "see what happens."

Jenn teased, "I may take a break until January just because it works better with the schedule of my school, or I might just continue. I haven't fully decided what I'm going to do yet, but the truth of the matter is, yes, I am going back to school."

Jenn acknowledged that people seem to have "many opinions" about where she's going to take her professional life after The Bachelorette airs.

"People think that I won't [return to school]... but I am," she insisted.

"I'm going to do it. Listen, I spent my entire life working for this moment and studying for this moment and putting my all into this. I finished my hardest year... so I'm not going to put it off and just not finish."

In fact, Jenn confessed it would be "insane" to quit now because she really does "want a career in medicine."

Jenn reasoned, "It's everything I've ever wanted, but I'm 26... I have my entire life to finish PA school, and if... I push it back by, like, a year, it's really not the end of the world for me. And so that's where my head was at."

Joey Graziadei eliminated Jenn before his Final 4 women's hometown dates on The Bachelor's 28th season, which wrapped earlier this year on ABC.

After Jenn was named The Bachelorette's Season 21 star in March, the franchise's first-ever Asian lead, she packed up her bags and got ready to have the power back and hand out roses herself.

Jenn had 25 bachelors to choose from on Night 1 at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, CA -- not at the usual Bachelor mansion in Malibu -- when the show began filming in late March, and production recently wrapped.

Jenn recently teased of The Bachelorette's 21st season in an interview with Kaitlyn Bristowe at CMA Fest, "The ending of my season is also something that has never happened before."

Jenn, however, declined to share details about her supposed never-before-seen outcome of The Bachelorette.

The Bachelorette host Jesse Palmer recently teased in one of Jenn's Instagram comments that calling her season "crazy" is "an understatement."

In a promo of Jenn's upcoming The Bachelorette season, Jenn boasts about how she's "going to fall in love" and is "going to do it my way."

She adds, "I feel more confident than ever. I feel like the main character in my own love story."

Earlier this year, Jenn spoke to Entertainment Tonight about how viewers are "not going to get" a polished version of herself when they tune in and watch The Bachelorette this summer.

"You're not going to get '[Meek] and Perfect Jenn.' You're going to get 'Crazy Jenn,' and that's the beautiful part of it," Jenn boasted of her approach to dating on The Bachelorette.

Jenn said viewers will witness her "fiery energy" and flirtatious nature.

Jenn also mentioned how she hoped to end up with a confident and playful man who will "ground" her but also be silly and have a cheeky banter with her.
