7 Things Every Pharmacy Major Deals With

Some people may think that being a pre-pharmacy major is easy, but those of us who have that major are basically struggling to survive on a daily basis. These are just a few of the many things that pharmacy majors deal with day-to-day.


1. They help each other succeed because they couldn't survive alone.

Pharmacy is one of the hardest majors on campus. Therefore, most people struggle with it. It's good to have those friends to ask questions to when you're unsure of how to solve a certain problem.

2. After having many chemistry and biology tests on the same day, they all exhibit the same attitude.

We need our bed and no human contact after we've struggled through three tests in one day.


3. They get depressed when they realize their friends with other majors will graduate in only 4 years.

Most pharmacy programs are about seven years long unlike a four-year bachelor's degree. Pharmacy majors are still in school and have tons of student debt while they see their friends already in their job field of choice.


4."You're going to school for so long just to count pills and put them in a bottle?"

Pharmacists are basically unsung heroes of the medical world. Pharmacists go the extra mile everyday to make sure that people are receiving the best quality of care. They counsel patients, give injections, and interpret how drug interactions will or won't affect you. Oh, and sometimes they count pills. That's important too.


5. They all have a common hobby of interest if they have a few hours of free time.

Sleep is golden for pharmacy majors. Most weeks they go with an average of four hours of sleep per night so they basically run off caffeine throughout the day.


6. They miss out on valuable time with family and friends.

One of the many downfalls of being a pharmacy major is that they have to pass on a few fun opportunities if they take place the weekend before a huge test, such as football games or socials, if they plan to pass.


7. But they all know one day all of it will pay off.

One day after they graduate pharmacy school and get their degree, all the stress and late nights of studying will definitely pay off.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
