The month of April was a roller coaster ride for me. I finished my last semester of pharmacology, survived a tornado, and am living in a global pandemic! It began with going back home for the quarantine. At home, my routine consisted of studying for Pharmacology and the MCAT, walking my dog, and spending time with my family members who weren't seriously vulnerable to COVID-19. For the most part, I haven't really minded the quarantine. I think this has been the most productive 6 weeks of my life, without all of the distractions that come with normal life. This was really helpful for my cell control test and the final. Though there are definitely negative aspects of the quarantine, I plan on trying to incorporate some of this social distancing productivity into my life after quarantine.
In this time, I have also been able to reflect on this year. I am extremely grateful that I was able to do participate in this program. Throughout the year, I have learned so much that I will be able to apply in the future. I have also made great friends and have made connections with the professors. I feel like this program has really shaped me into a better student and given me a glimpse of what medical school will look like. I truly couldn't imagine how I could be any more prepared for it after this. Plus, on top of all of this other great stuff, technically, I am a master of Pharmacology.
