10 Things Only Chem Majors Will Understand

Chemistry is a subject that is thoroughly challenging, but altogether satisfying and fun! Fun labs come with tiresome lab reports and interesting lectures come with frustrating tests. Whether you're in PChem or Orgo or Gen Chem 1, if you don't mind things that have a pH of 14, you've come to the right place.

1. When anyone asks you to smell something, you automatically start wafting.

Even when you're just cooking alone or trying on perfumes.


2. Who needs a social life when you could be studying chemistry instead?









But seriously, has anyone accomplished this?

3. Hate pickup lines, but these always work...















Chemistry Cat will always reign supreme.


4. We all secretly hope to find someone in chem class, so you can have ~chemistry~ together.

I used to make good chemistry jokes, but all the good ones Argon.


5. The frustration when you have to change your whole outfit so it goes with your closed-toed shoes.








Even worse when you can't get in your lab because you forgot to wear close-toed shoes that day.

6. That feeling when you take your safety goggles off.













But isn't this everyone's favorite part of lab?

7. True hunger always seems to be experienced during lab.











It never seems to hit any other time of day...

8. The word "organic" doesn't mean what it does to other people.






Healthy? What's that? I eat whatever I can if I'm ever free.

9. You will never understand the magic behind titrating.

It brings anxiety to even the best of us.


10. We all know the real answer to everything, despite what others claim.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
