I am in the exact boat as you are. I just started pharmacy school a month ago and people keep telling me it's only been a month and I should be patient. But I just do not feel like I fit. I met plenty people the first weeks but nothing really clicked and everyone else that I met are all friends except me. I just float around, being friendly with everyone but not really friends. I might have burned some bridges by accident but ever since, feel like a total floater- where people are polite but not really considering me a friend. Im very self-conscious and others might have mistaken some things I did as rude. I'm just worried abt later, when the workload gets overwhelming and I have no support system- i moved out of state for school. How did you cope during school? Were you involved in any activities or worked? I have been feeling so lonely and distressed abt this, I am falling behind school....
I totally agree with others that grad programs are small and we have limited number of people we can meet. If things don't work out with those in same class, you're just outta luck. So how did you cope? And any advices for next few years??
Thank you.
QUOTE=sm79;3096434]Hello,

I understand what you are going through right now. I am a pharmacist and have questioned my career choice as well. I did not have many friends in pharmacy school in my own class; and it is a difficult transition to professional school from undergrad. I also did not really fit in with my class because we were different, so it was difficult for me socially. I have had a difficult career since I graduated and question my life decisions all the time. I also understand the difficulty in finding an internship because it is hard for pharmacy students right now, and it is also not as easy as used to be for pharmacists. I don't know how much this helps, but know that there are those that can relate to you.[/QUOTE]
