Organic chemsitry/OChem/Orgo Hell is widely understood as a rather difficult class. (Especially if you take the combined class CEM 143 at Michigan State University). Out of all of the problems and the reading, I have to admit I still ask these questions, and it's only week five.

1. Why are we doing this at 8 a.m.? Why couldn't we have at least moved this to a 9:10....?

2. No I Clicker questions, why am I here? No I Clicker points, no problem, but the notes are still not online so you know you have to go to class.

3. You go to office hours because you can count it towards your study time...right? One hour at office hours counts towards studying, I think...?

4. It goes from, this is an atom to name this four ring molecule real quick, but why? I'm sorry could we please slow down?

5. Club Lib until 1 a.m.? 1 a.m. study sessions just to make sure you do that quiz on Wednesday morning.

6. It makes you wonder why you’re even a science major. I'm doing this for the wealth and security of my future family, but could I do this another way?

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
