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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
