5 Struggles Every Pre-Med College Student Can Diagnose All Too Well

A TON of students go into college saying they are "pre-med." What even is that? If you're studying to study more, what is your purpose now? Are you really learning or just preparing to learn? These are the questions pre-health students ask themselves. It's a stressful track; one that requires a lot of planning. For people who aren't quite sure what track they want to take, pre-med isn't one that's easy to start late.

1. Pre-requisities

Pre-reqs are a good way to see if you can handle the stress of medical school because most of them are hard science classes. But, major struggle.

2. Taking humanities classes to be well-rounded then not having time to enjoy them

Chemistry takes up nearly all of my time and makes me exhausted. I love my other humanities classes but they are hard to enjoy when I am watching Khan Academy 24/7.

3. Trying to figure out if you actually want to be a doctor

Honestly with the way chemistry is going, I'm not sure.

4. Balancing volunteering, finding research opportunities/shadowing, and having fun

Is it worth it if your college years are only stress?

5. Being unsure of what else you would do besides medicine

I want to do something health-care related even if I'm not the one calling the shots.

To all the pre-med students out there, you got this. Remember though, if you hate it then change it!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
