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

δ 8.52 - 0.91 ppm (m, 56 H). e z

If your boo flaunts their carbon atoms...

Jumping of a roof will turn you from physics to forensics real quick.

Chemistry in general is like magic to me.

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

I suppose in a way you arguably are…

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.

Orgo 1 and 2 were challenging for sure but nothing like physical chem or biochem 2. Those were the real skill checks

I understand you 50% 🥲
