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.
