ReplyFebruary 11th, 1993, Water Rooster
I'm attending college now and aiming for my Master's Degree in Chemistry. I'm conflicted about the time period or semester to take the courses needed towards my master's degree. My professor is suggesting a gap year to take the basic courses of chemistry but I also intend on applying to medical school for M.D. & Ph.D. I guess I'm just worried about time and realizing if I want to wait for 3-4 years to finish my Master's Degree in Chemistry.
I wanted to take Physical Chemistry 1 in Fall 2020 instead of Fall 2021. Would this be wise?

I was always told that nobody will want me, from my parents. Will I ever have someone (husband, wife. partner) that will truly want me? To bring out the best in me and me in them? I do NOT want to marry someone like either my Dad or Mom! Or, am I doomed?
