Folks, if your boo:

  • Calls their personality quirks "functional groups"
  • Tests you by demanding you elucidate their mechanisms
  • Has unexplainable peak splitting between 0 and 10 ppm

That's not your boo; that's an organic chemistry

Chemistry in general is like magic to me.

But when I look at organic chemistry stuff, I know it's magic.

I never understood why everyone said or orgo was so hard. It was only a lot of memorizing like history.

My hard classes were ones where we were allowed to bring the textbook and any notes we wanted.
