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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
