Pharmacy school has been called many different things, such as hard, painful, exhausting, exciting, informational, and much more. One of the most important words I would use to describe pharmacy school is “teamwork.”

During pharmacy school, it is easy to get swept into coursework, extracurriculars, and working, which leads to students forgetting to take care of themselves. As a student pharmacist, I have discovered the significance of weaving wellness into my academic pursuits, recognizing that a healthy mind and body contribute not only to personal fulfillment, but also to academic success.

As you know, pharmacy school is extremely demanding. You have to balance school, work, personal passions, and sleep while still finding time for friends, which can seem impossible.

I believe that to be the best student pharmacist you can be, it’s important to make time for yourself. 

Having received a wake-up call from the WBI, I resolved to more intentionally make time for my personal needs and interests.
