How to Manage Stress


While you may experience some stressful times throughout your pharmacy school program, there are many ways to help manage stress and it is all up to which works the best for you.

If you are an animal lover like myself, a pet is always a good way to manage stress.  My two cats have become my study buddies and always find a way to brighten my day.  They also provide good study breaks whether they want to play during their witching hour or just want to lay by your side while you watch a good movie. 

There are many organizations here at PCSP and with the abundance of events, there is always a way to get involved and spend time with your peers outside of the classroom.  Some examples of events include, drug take back day, a low country boil, March on Health 5k, and Thornwell’s Halloween Carnival.  It is nice to participate in events such as these because they are a wonderful way to help the community. 

Fall is my favorite time of year here in South Carolina and if you love the leaves changing as much as I do, a nice hike is another way to help manage stress.  By getting involved you will meet others with similar interests and getting a group together to escape school for a bit is always helpful. 
While we are all here to learn and become the best pharmacists we can be, it is okay to take some time out for yourself and help manage your stress level.  If for some reason you are having trouble with finding what works best for you, there is always someone to talk to.  Everyone here at PCSP is wonderful, from faculty to students, we are all here to help J
