Part 1: Which One PharmD or MD
Wall Street Journal

GRADUATION is soon approaching! In 858 days...122.5 weeks... 20,592 hours... 1,235,520 minutes... 74,131,200 seconds. I have yet again changed my career path. When I applied, I was first for my undergrad I was a nursing major; only because I wanted to become a nurse. Then I began to venture out and explore my interest. Then I became an English major because I read The Fault IN Our Stars. But soon after I caught up with the latest episodes of Law & Order: SVU and I became a pre-law major. I really didn't know what I wanted to do or to be. It wasn't until one day I just woke up and said... "I want to be a pharmacist!" I still ask myself why did wake up with that thought. I felt that changing my major was only making myself more uneasy to what I enjoy. "Nia, it is college! You're not suppose to enjoy! Yes play hard, but also work hard!" My parents said to me after each time of changing my major. I also know, If I want to be successful I will have to a doctor. A doctor in something... but, I didn't want to be a doctor... nor a nurse... so I was like "hey what about a pharmacist?" I stuck with it. I became a chemistry major.

I began to love chemistry. It wasn't has hard as I thought it was. But, As the semester goes on it gets harder and harder. I would say to myself, "shoulda stuck to English, shoulda stuck to English." I start asking myself if becoming a pharmacist is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Why am I taking organic / inorganic chemistry, linguistics, calculus, and stats just to count pills? It just didn't make any sense. Then one day, I was watching Grey's Anatomy with my friend... you already know what happened next. I start researching medical schools, MCAT prep classes, and study the human body. But, I still want to become a pharmacist. I can't be both? So as of today, I am torn between becoming a Pharmacist or a Doctor. I know I would be great in both fields! As a Second year chemistry major with a minor in Microbiology, try I shall decide on something soon!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
