Why I Want to be a Vetrinary Technician
Natalie Schlagenhauf

I've always loved animals, ever since I was a little girl I would play doctor on my stuffed animals. When I got a little older I would catch lizards in my yard and "take care of them" and then let them go again. I would perform "check ups" on my dogs and on the cows in our pasture, I would take care of them if they were sick and make sure they were happy.

I've always wanted to do something with animals, I wanted to be a veterinarian for the longest time, but decided to go a different rout and go to school to be a veterinary technician. I'm happy with my decision and absolutely can not wait to get into school and start training for my dream job.

Yes, I know, I won't be making as much money as an actual veterinarian but that is perfectly fine with me. The technician actually gets to do a little more with the animals and that's what I want. I know that college will be stressful and my classes won't be easy but as long as you love what you do everything will work itself out.

My love for animals has been a life long thing, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I love being around them more than I like being around people, Probably because animals don't talk back or make unnecessary remarks.

I'm looking forward to the long days and late night studying because it will be something I'm passionate about. I can't wait to start doing clinicals and being with the animals.

I can't wait to start my dream job as a Vetrinary Technicin!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
