7 Things Every Pharmacy Major Deals With

Some people may think that being a pre-pharmacy major is easy, but those of us who have that major are basically struggling to survive on a daily basis. These are just a few of the many things that pharmacy majors deal with day-to-day.


1. They help each other succeed because they couldn't survive alone.

Pharmacy is one of the hardest majors on campus. Therefore, most people struggle with it. It's good to have those friends to ask questions to when you're unsure of how to solve a certain problem.

2. After having many chemistry and biology tests on the same day, they all exhibit the same attitude.

We need our bed and no human contact after we've struggled through three tests in one day.


3. They get depressed when they realize their friends with other majors will graduate in only 4 years.

Most pharmacy programs are about seven years long unlike a four-year bachelor's degree. Pharmacy majors are still in school and have tons of student debt while they see their friends already in their job field of choice.


4."You're going to school for so long just to count pills and put them in a bottle?"

Pharmacists are basically unsung heroes of the medical world. Pharmacists go the extra mile everyday to make sure that people are receiving the best quality of care. They counsel patients, give injections, and interpret how drug interactions will or won't affect you. Oh, and sometimes they count pills. That's important too.


5. They all have a common hobby of interest if they have a few hours of free time.

Sleep is golden for pharmacy majors. Most weeks they go with an average of four hours of sleep per night so they basically run off caffeine throughout the day.


6. They miss out on valuable time with family and friends.

One of the many downfalls of being a pharmacy major is that they have to pass on a few fun opportunities if they take place the weekend before a huge test, such as football games or socials, if they plan to pass.


7. But they all know one day all of it will pay off.

One day after they graduate pharmacy school and get their degree, all the stress and late nights of studying will definitely pay off.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
