Where has the time gone? It feels like yesterday that I was
a freshman in college going through orientation. I was worried about making friends, fitting
in, and having fun. Now, these are the
least of my worries as I transition into young adulthood. I still can’t get over the fact that I am a
junior in college making decisions on my own.
My life is beginning to feel complete both professionally and personally
with every decision I make.
First, I was able to obtain my intern license this past
summer, and had the privilege of working at Walgreens Pharmacy. I’ve been dreaming of this day for many years,
so I could not wait for it to become a reality. I learned a great deal of information and met
some amazing mentors during my internship.
It was cool to actually get a taste of what my future may look like in
the profession of pharmacy. I absolutely
loved the patient interactions while gaining valuable experience in the
process.
In addition, I have received another taste of adulthood
through living in an apartment on campus.
It is my responsibility to make dinner and go shopping when needed. It’s still a little weird not having to go to
the dining hall or relying on my parents to prepare dinner. I love the freedom that comes along with college. It resembles what life will be like when I
have a stable job and have a doctorate degree.
In addition, my friends and I just signed a lease to a house for our
college living arrangements for next year.
This was a very big step for me and made me feel like I am actually an
adult. I had to sit down and make the
final decision to sign or not, which was a very large commitment.
Overall, my life is slowly falling into place. I recently started dating, which is
exciting. I feel that I am at a good point
in my life for this to occur, since I am surrounded by wonderful friends and
family. Classes are stressful, but I
would never change my decision to study pharmacy. Honestly, the last few weeks have been
great. I am truly happy, and can’t wait
for what the future may hold.
Celine- That is the ultimate question right? I actually wrote one of my blogs about the question of where did the time went. I too am a junior, living in a new apartment and having to make my own decisions on a daily level. It is the strangest thing too because it feels like just yesterday that I graduated high school. I am happy to hear you already signed your lease for a house because I personally know how hard it is to find one at this point in the year. I really do hope that your classes become less stressful in the upcoming weeks, but as a pharmacy major that sadly is never happens.
