University students, as term for people who are pursuing higher education at tertiary institution consisting academy, and university. university students are no longer called as children of adolescents, because university students are recognized as adults who already have mature thoughts which can lead to a better direction. All activitites done by collage is valued from how extent the quality as a university student. to achiece those values, students must have a healthy lifestyle to create an excellent health during pursuing those values for an incredible career. University students can begin to implement a healthy lifestyle in daily activity simply, such preventing and managing mental health disorder.

Mental health disorder is a behavioral or mental pattern which causes significant distress or impairment of personal functioning. It is also called as mental illness or psychiatric disorder. There are nearly 300 mental disorders listed in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder). Specifically, there are mental health disorders occurring in university student environment, such as:

1. Anxiety Disorder, a group of mental disorders characterized by significant feelings of anxiety and fear. Anxiety is a worry about future events, and fear is a reaction to current events. These feelings may cause physical symptoms, such as fast heart and shakiness. For example, being worry about straightforward, and immediate matters such as the academic performance, safety of the classroom, and fitting in or being liked.

2. Eating Disorder, a mental disorder defined by abnormal eating habits that negatively affect a person's physical or mental health. They include binge eating disorder, where people eat a large amount in a short period of time called as Anorexia nervosa. Besides, when people eat very little due to a fear of gaining weight and thus have a low body weight is called Bulimia Nervosa.

According to research (Thistle, 1995) revealed that the sources of stress faced by university students, such as academic stress, family problems, financial problems, problems in friendship, traumatic events, having untreated mental disorders, self immaturity, substance abuse, personal problems, lack of life skill (Davidson & Locked, 2011). Another side, a factor influencing a university students' mental health is a change in the environment. Changes in the environment from high school to tertiary education require university students' adaptability. University students are required to have life skills for challenging various challenges during their lectures. University students who are less capable to adapt have a potential to experience obstacles in undergoing the lecture process and ultimately affect their mental state.

Ironically, there have been a number of suicides committed by university students over the past few years which have always been in the public spotlight. In this case, campus institution can influence mental health conditions by promoting mental health programs such as self-management training and campaigns mental health to eliminate negative stigma for people who have mental health. On the other hand, the campus can also provide program designs for lectures, staff, and other campus elements who interact closely with a university students, such as self-management and conflict management. By this, all elements of campus can identify unviversity students who need health assistance mentally.

To sum up, mental health disorder is abehavioral or mental pattern which causes significant distress. There are three common mental health disorders occurring in university student environment, such as anxiety disorder, and eating disorder. Other causes of mental health disorder are financial problem, family problem, or self maturity. Yet, university student can avoid these mental health disorders by getting some health programs, such as self-management and conflict management provided by lecturers, staff, or other campus elements. However, health does not always come from medicine. Most of the time, it comes from the peace of mind, heart, and soul.

WHY I CHOOSE TO STUDY PHARMACY?

For me, ending up in pharmacy was a last minute decision, because the longest time in high school I wanted to become an english editor. I enjoyed writing, creating stories, and expressing myself through the art. I had a teacher who said that she learned more about me through a few pieces of paper than a year’s worth of talking. Writing was my mode of communication and a passion. I didn’t know exactly what being an editor entailed, but I knew it was one of the highest ranking positions in regards to my interests, so that’s what I had to be.

As the time goes by, I was amazed to know about the chemist. There was a short period when I wanted to become a chemist and go from there, but I wasn’t confident in my choices, how I could apply these interests if it would be a little understanding of the impact I could make in people’s lives. As I began to delve deeper into opportunities, I started to research pharmacy.

            To be honest, I didn't know too much about the field or practice of pharmacy when I first entered pharmacy school. But I've grown to love this profession. I think what excites me the most is seeing the profession grow so much over the last few years and how pharmacists embrace the clinical side of pharmacy. It's not just about counting drugs and checking the accuracy of the prescription being filled, but pharmacists are getting more proactive about being involved in their patients health, in terms of comprehensive medication reviews.

            Eventhough many people think that pharmacist only handles prescription, yet, for me, they do more than just give medicine. Pharmacist informs the patients about the importance of taking medicine. These includes the dosage, the side effect, and the importance of following doctor’s order. Pharmacist also naturally care about the patients and their health. I want to be a part of the revolution that gives all patients the respect they deserve so that perhaps one day, we will earn the same in return. That’s why I want to be a pharmacist and this reason drives me a lot to keep going on this career, to help making a better tomorrow for others and build the personal bonds necessary for successful health outcomes and genuine trust.

Although social media is quickly up to date every second, users have to operate it effectifely. They do not need to occupy themselves and busily engaged in social media because the bustle of social media possibly impacts the users to be isolated in the real of social civilization.
