Neil Labak

My name is Neil Labak, and I'm a sophomore pharmacy student at Northeastern. I am from the small town of Belchertown in western Massachusetts. Although I came from a small, rural community, adapting to Boston was much easier than I had anticipated.

When I am not involved with my educational responsibilities, I enjoy watching and playing sports. In the future, I plan to pursue a degree in business as I would eventually like to travel the world as a biopharmaceutical salesman.

I am a member of a few student organizations which include NUHSP (Northeastern University Society of Health-System Pharmacists), NSCS (National Society of Collegiate Scholars), and ASHP (American Society of Health-System Pharmacists). I am also very active in Health Science Open Houses, and I interact with prospective students by speaking about various campus activities and experiences. Right now I am looking forward to my summer co-op in Boston.

Dog Days Of August

The last few days have been very chaotic and busy. Last week I tore my ACL during a basketball game. After a number of phone calls, appointments, an MRI and yet another checkup I fould out that I am going to have to wear a knee brace for 6 weeks. In addition to this time, I will have to undergo several weeks of physical therapy to strengthen my leg. I am very thankful I can avoid surgery but all this chaos has been very stressful. In other news, my co-op is starting to wind down and class starts in a month.

I'll also be moving into a new apartment in a few weeks! It's a really exciting process, and I'll get to be living in a room with my friend Aaron. Moving is Boston is one of the most annoying and feared tasks known to man. Thousands of college students move in/ out/ around as every single lease in the city ends on August 31st, and begins on September 1st. This makes for a very exciting adventure come September.

I will be sure to keep you updated as my summer comes to an end in a few weeks.

Have a great night!
