#pharmassist

It is such an odd feeling to be finished with school after 20+ years of unrelenting education. No more immediate concerns of getting an A by cramming for the next quiz or test. No more desperate thoughts of extra credit towards the end of the semester to push you over to the next grade bracket. No more participation in student committees urging your student body to care about some distant pharmacy issue. 

Now you are (supposedly) measured by the merit of your work, “real-life” deadlines, and your ability to handle situations grad school can never truly prepare you for. In other words, welcome to Adulthood.

I recently graduated from an accelerated 6 year pharmacy school program and am currently looking for jobs in the somewhat thin pharmacy job network. I am starting this blog in hopes of helping those in the same profession or similar situation deal with the stress of being a 24 year old and trying to make that transition from being a student/nonteenager/milennial/whatever-you-want-to-label-us to a full fledged professional/provider/i-pretend-i-know-what-i’m-doing/adult.
