10 Reasons Why Being A Pharmacy Student Is Rough

When people tell you what a "great" major Pharmacy is you can't help but wonder if they even know how "not great" it can be. So for those of you who don't know the usual struggles of Pharmacy students, here's a list of ten things that complicate our lives a little bit more.

1. Organic Chemistry

Or any chemistry for that matter.

2. Lab

Usually the worst few hours of your week, which include a high risk of fainting.

3. No Days Off

Maybe we can hang out after I graduate?

4. When Your Core Classes Get In The Way

I know, we have to be well-rounded individuals, but we're taking ORGANIC CHEMISTRY.

5. Form Of Socializing: Study Groups

This also includes group projects and group work in class.

6. One Credit Classes Are Your Hardest

Readings, quizzes, tests, volunteering, papers, and projects for a class that is only one credit. One.

7. Exam Day

Mayhem.

8. Getting Your Test Grade Back

You'll definitely be crying whether it's good news or bad news.

9. Jobs

Not only do you have to go to class and study, but you also need work experience... And money to pay for school.

10. Knowing It's Worth It

But in the end, it will all be worth it and you'll be proud of that PharmD you worked so hard for.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
