Rewarding yourself?

I’m a P1 in my first year of pharmacy school! It’s going way better than I thought it would! How are you guys rewarding yourself? Like a beer on Friday nights? Cookie after exams? Fun dinner once a week?

I’m looking for something that I can do weekly to “count down” until the end of school that won’t make me gain a bunch of weight, cost a lot of money and preferably not alcohol?

How do you handle the pressure of failing?

Recently I failed a graded assignment that requires me to get a certain grade. It was taken in exam like conditions (as it always does🫩). The results came back and I failed. I can take it again during the semester however waiting for that day will eat me alive. This is the first time I’ve ever failed something in pharmacy school. I’m grateful I can repeat the assignment but how do you handle the pressure? How do you prevent yourself from overthinking about failing out of the program? My mind is racing with the worst possibilities and I wish to really know if anyone also has this thinking process (although unhealthy) and how you stand back up and clutch.

Am I doing this right?

Hello everyone, idek if this is the right sub?

But I have just started uni, and my official lecture week is this week, I was just recapping this online lecture that I had about COMMUNITY PHARMACY. And it had information like

How was the pharmaci in the pre1948

Then how the NHS act came and nhs inauguration and everything.

Then the focus shifted to essential services etc.

I did not make notes, reason veing EVERYTHING IS THERE ON SLIDES. so I thought of making flashcards. I gage myself 1 hrs and 30 minutes and I am only like till 18 out of the 38 slides.

It makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong?

Is this the right way to study?

An example of my flashcard can be (on anki)

What is a pharmacy contract?

All pharmacies, yo be abelt to dispense medication must register and have a contract with the NHS.

Can the pharmacy deny to take in any unwanted medication just because you bought it from a different pharmacy?

No, every pharmacy is obliged to take in any unwanted medication etc....

And if anyone have any better advice, please do say it. I am just stressing out and it's just one week in.

pharmacy school is making me mean

i hate it, but it’s true. i swear i’m getting meaner and more bitter everyday. doing bad on exams and stuff is making me hate myself. i know my attitude is a projection but i don’t know how to stop. has anyone else experienced this? i don’t want to be a bitch when my friends tell me about their good scores anymore. feeling stupid constantly is making me mean

How to get comfortable with holding animals?

I am already in my third year of pharmacy, and I am scared of the Pharmacology lab because of the animals

Usually, under pressure, I can do things, but not with holding animals.

I am still not comfortable with even touching rats, and I still get scared of touching a rabbit that I will break its spine and administering a drug is quite impossible for me

How can I get over this fear?
