My Favorite Study Tools

In today's age with advanced technology, many students resort to taking notes on their computers. I like to hand-write my notes because it forces me to physically write out my thoughts and, in turn, makes me retain the information inputted in for a longer duration. Hand-writing notes can be dreadful (believe me, I know); however, with great tools to guide the way, it makes it a bit more bearable. So here are my top brands that I love using: 1. Muji Pens As a pre-pharmacy student, you go through a lot of carbon paper for labs, and I find that Muji pens are the perfect pens to write with.

As a left-handed person, I am really picky about my pens and these pens definitely pass my test. These pens come in various colors and sizes and are relatively affordable! @carmelstudies on Instagram 2. Zebra Mild...

Hello

-
After much contemplation and failed attempts at starting a blog, here I am today. With a little encouragement and motivational push from a computer science assignment ( at Lonestar ), I am finally fulfilling a task from my bucket list. The truth is, I have always wanted to start a blog documenting my journey as a pre-pharmacy student; however, I constantly had a fear of being judged. Who am I? I am a fellow student and human finishing up her last semester as an undergraduate student. I love watching shows, varying from k-dramas to cooking/baking shows. I enjoy experimenting with baking and am always looking for different opportunities to try something new. I am pursuing my dream of becoming a pharmacist. With this blog, I hope to share my personal experiences in this field as well as provide a welcoming place for everyone, no matter who you are.  -Amy
