Oh wow! Grad student? Mashallah! Aren't you the same age as me though? In Canada I think you can go to pharmacy school after first year of university and it is a 4 year program so that's 5 years but for all other professional degrees you have to have a university degree. I am almost done yes, although I already had more than the required credits to graduate, I was not ready to leave university so I left my thesis for an extra year. My parents never let my older siblings move out so they had to go to the university in our city. I went to one somewhere else and commuted for 2.5 years. Then I got my parents to let me go somehow but they never wanted that. My dad is a pharmacist.

Starry - Woah! That sounds intense! I guess in the end it's almost similar, 5 years here about over there it's like 6. Seems like a lot but it's the same thing with all professional schools really. I would like to go to chiropractic college which I will be applying to sometime later this year. The applications went too early this year. It's a 4 year program. Originally, I was planning on masters in psych for 2 years and another 2 years doing masters in physiotherapy so that would have been 4 years too. Lets see though. I have always been confused about where I want to end up. Things have not fallen in place just yet, who knows I might end up doing something different altogether. Inshahallah, it will all work out by this summer.

Insha Allah you'll find what you want to do and end up doing great down the line! You remind me of my sister. She says the same things when she talks about career choices and what she's planning to do.

I honestly find it scary at times thinking of myself with a career and no more school..I mean our lives with real jobs seem a bit dreadful, don't you think? ..As much as I complain about school, studying etc..I do think I'll miss it a lot..the freedom you have as a student is definitely gone once you're in the real world. Ahh..and before you know it, our parents are going to start getting serious about rishtays and all that bs. 😆

by the way..are you watching ZGH?

Thanks man! Is your sister younger than you? Honestly, one of the main reasons I stayed back an extra year was because I just wasn't ready to leave. 4 years went by so fast, I wish I could turn back the time to first year and continue living the 4 years forever 😆 It does sound dreadful! Forget jobs, I think marriage is the end of life. I won't be marrying for many years but still it's unimaginable. Life just ends! Done! Poof!

Yup I am watching it, everyone was so I had to. I am liking it better than Humsafar. I am an Usama fan 😆 even though I do not like Shehryar Munawar yet as such but I love his character.

Yeah, my sister is younger than me..she's 19. She's not too sure about what she wants to do, nor does she really know where she'll end up as of yet. She changed her major from psychology to nursing and now is thinking of going back to psychology. 😆

and same here! I don't like Shehryar so much..but Usama, the character is likable especially since he seems to be the lesser loser out of his friends thus far. lol

I too like it more than Humsafar..I liked Humsafar more in the beginning than the end..but with ZGH I feel it's going to get better with the progressing episodes...and hopefully with more happy progressing episodes. 😆 I can't wait to see how two complete opposites, Zaroon and Kashaf eventually fall in love. I love the fact that they're showing Kashaf to be an average looking girl..with imperfections. I was once telling my sister how I'm tired of our dramas showing the two good looking guys and girls falling love..why not ever show the girl/boy next door falling in love? That's not to say I find Sanam Saeed ugly or anything..not at all...but she has the looks of an average Pakistani girl and it's nice to see such characters eventually get what they want in life too.

Hello again 🤗 I am not to sure I know your name or what I should call you?

Dean and Sam are different. Dean was never into studying anyways, for him it was always about looking after Sam and hunting. While Sam never wanted to be a hunter, he wanted to go to school. The kind of situation they were thrown into I would have picked family otherwise, I would just leave like Sam did. Too bad for them they can never get away fully, they are pretty much stuck.
