Check out this interview from Student Bloggers
This week’s Meet a Student Blogger brings us Pharmacy Kid of… The Pharmacy Kid.
Major – Pharmacy
Planned graduation year – 2011
Student Bloggers: Why did you start blogging?
Pharmacy Kid: I started reading pharmacy blogs about a year ago. It seemed there were not many pharmacy student blogs and that none of the current pharmacists blogged about their days in school. I decided instead of waiting, I should start my own blog.
SB: I noticed that you blogroll several other pharmacy/med blogs. Have you noticed a sort of community of pharm bloggers linking/commenting?
Pharmacy Kid: Definitely, most of the pharmacy blogs link to each other. The reason I read medical blogs is because pharmacy and medicine are closely related. I thought of becoming a physician but chose pharmacy because of the better lifestyle.
SB: Does your blogger anonymity extend to people you know in real life as well?
Pharmacy Kid: Nope. I learned that if you want to keep a secret, it’s best not to tell anyone. So I have told my blog to absolutely no one.
SB: Have you found any disadvantages to blogging anonymously?
Pharmacy Kid: Not really. You can be more open in your posts if you’re anonymous.
SB: Has blogging ever come up in your classes? If so, how?
Pharmacy Kid: Nope.
SB: Do you foresee continuing after graduation? If so, do you think you’d change format or your approach to blogging?
I really would like to. However, it’s not going to be easy as I will have to work full time. I probably would not change my blogging format. The content would just shift more to work and less as a student.
SB: Finally, what are the top three blogs you regularly read?
Pharmacy Kid: Pharmacy Mike, My Money Blog, Waiter Rant
SB: Final thoughts?
Pharmacy Kid: Thanks for the interview.
