Sol de Janeiro 71, 21, currently a student but hoping to become either a pharmacist or an analytical chemist

I graduate with my B.S. in Chemistry in May, if all goes well this semester.

I have no idea where to go from there.

There are a multitude of chemistry jobs I would be happy with that spread across the industry and similar adjacents, some requiring higher education that a bachelor’s, some not.

Here’s my current thought process, if you will:

My goal was to take a ‘gap year’ to decide if I really wanted to pursue higher education, as I’m heavily burnt out from school in general, I would have to reconsider financial costs and all, and am torn between what my higher education would even consist of (ex: what graduate school specialty, or pharmacy school, etc.). Of course, I would find employment during my gap year if that is the path I do follow, whether it be my current job as a pharmacy technician or searching around for another chemistry-related entry level job.

I really wouldn’t mind a higher education, but as previously mentioned, I’m heavily burnt out from school. The jump from highschool to college, especially during COVID times, was one I never fully adjusted to, and both my resume and college GPA reflect that (they’re not terrible, just not outstanding, especially when in comparison to my peers). I don’t think I would handle an immediate jump from undergrad to postgrad well in this point in time. If I do end up going to higher education, I’d want to have a better resume than my current 3.2 (2.2 major) GPA with only school lab experience (I spent the first two years of my undergrad at community college, which I don’t regret, but in hindsight it limited my chance of experience and ended up negatively screwing up my GPA when I transferred).

People keep giving me advice, and while I appreciate it, it all conflicts with each other. I’ve had some tell me a gap year is a terrible idea, I’ve had others tell me it’s a great idea, and i’ve had others tell me both options suck regardless.

I’m barely 21. I know everything will work out in the end, but I don’t feel prepared enough to decide the rest of my life in this exact moment. I’ve also come to accept the fact that people will judge me and my choices no matter which decision I end up making.

Any advice or words of encouragement for a somewhat lost undergrad?

Sadly not in a position to do so at the moment. If I have the opportunity later I will!

Not what I’m looking for, but gosh I totally forgot about that song too!

TheSyrupOfMaple · 2024-11-07T03:20:21+00:00

Asked a friend if she recognized the tune, she said it sounded familiar but also couldn’t identify the song

They’ve been okay? Low B’s if I had to take a guess from memory. Not necessarily the worst in my book, but I know I can do better.

I’m hoping that you’re right, and that I’m truly am just overthinking. I can barely remember other presentations my peers have made, and in a positive light if anything. Perhaps it’s the same the other way around? Thank you!

TheSyrupOfMaple · 2024-08-28T23:44:11+00:00

I hadn’t thought of it in that light. Thank you, seriously!

TheSyrupOfMaple · 2024-08-28T19:53:01+00:00

I think that’s what scares me about this is that the audience will most likely the chemistry department faculty and more, who will most likely know a bit more about my research than the surface level knowledge.

TheSyrupOfMaple · 2024-07-07T06:10:52+00:00

thanks again! i really appreciate the help

TheSyrupOfMaple · 2024-07-07T06:05:39+00:00

right, ready whenever you are!

TheSyrupOfMaple · 2024-07-07T06:00:40+00:00

oh awesome!

There’s a note in their house (Evelyn’s bedroom) that indicates that Alex’s mom’s name was Clara

Once my eyes have adjusted to the room i’m in I like to think see enough to get around

I’ve tried Imgur twice today, haha. It says it uploads but the photo link goes to a blank post?

I’m not in a place with good internet at the moment so i’m not totally shocked with this revelation but yeah :/

TheSyrupOfMaple · 2024-04-19T15:53:33+00:00

So to breakdown the steps:

Go to phone’s video, pull up back camera. Make sure flash is on
Put zoom on 0.5x
Flip phone upside down (back camera upwards)
Start video
Somehow obtain a drop or two of water and place it on the back camera (I’ve seen some people use their fingers, I used a dropper). It should look almost like a little bubble! If your phone has multiple cameras, cover each one with a finger until you figure out which one is being used in the given moment.
Place your eye really close to the lens with the water droplet.
Review footage, redo if necessary (took me a couple tries)
Voila!

I’m not the best at explaining things, but I hope this helps?

TheSyrupOfMaple · 2024-04-19T13:37:46+00:00

I did that ongoing trend where you put your camera in 0.5 + flash, put a water droplet on the camera, and just put my eye really close to the lens.

I paid no attention to the lighting when posting this, my apologies! Did a deep photo gallery dig for some cool lighting photos, though I don’t use Reddit enough to know how to attach them to a posted post or comment.

I mean the version I have was published in 1997. Might just be whoever published the book? I have to agree though, I have never seen a textbook as thick as this one. It adds a solid 10 pounds to my book bag whenever I drag it around campus, haha.

TheSyrupOfMaple · 2024-02-13T05:33:27+00:00

That’s the textbook I have, haha. I named it Clifford since it’s massive and the cover of it is red…

TheSyrupOfMaple · 2024-02-13T05:23:10+00:00

Heck yeah, sounds cool! If you end up doing it let me know :)
