Sincerely, your hypo-caffeinated (and still struggling) pharmacy students
Life isn’t easy. Your mother should have patted you on the butt and told you good luck, instead of trying to prepare you for all the things you still aren’t prepared for: all-nighters, 200 brand to generic drug names, and how to not set your apartment on fire. Imagine spending your youth trying to figure out what it is that you’re destined to do — and then have to find out that your destined pathway comes with 6 figures of debt and an IV drip of caffeine.
That’s where we come in. Nobody held our hands when we started pharmacy school, so we’ll be damned if we don’t at least try to reach out to you. Take these articles as your how-to guide on everything pharmacy school: from learning how to memorize drug names, to how to not fuck up counting pills, to making lifelong friendships, to how to keep your relationship and your sanity in tact, and most importantly, to how to get some damn sleep.
Tracy is your sleep-deprived, yet overtly sarcastic second year pharmacy student. She hails from Dallas, Texas and somehow managed to find herself in the middle of nowhere, Tennessee for pharmacy school. With a bachelor’s of arts in psychology and creative writing, she clearly tried to do her best to avoid pharmacy school but here we are. Tracy specializes in how not to fail your classes (even when you’re just barely hanging on by a thread), how to pack lunches that don’t require going down two flights of stairs to the third floor student lounge to heat up, and how to pretend you’re paying attention in class. She’ll show you how to navigate through pharmacy school while maintaining a long distance relationship — specifically a military boyfriend, using him (fondly known as K from here on out) as her favorite teaching tool.
Moonjung is her partner-in-crime, except much less sarcastic and much more gentle, zooming in all the way from Irvine, California to Tennessee. There’s nothing Moonjung doesn’t want to do: managed care, Walgreens, save the pharmacy world from all opioid overdoses and anti-vaxxers but alas, she remains a third year pharmacy student still wondering how she got this far. She specializes on how to eat really good food, how to love yourself and God, and how to be single while everyone in your class is getting married. Words of wisdom are her thing, and so are Disney movies. If you want to know about pharmacy policy or how to friend zone someone, slide into her DMs. Or just do it anyway, because she’s single.
