Let's be honest with ourselves for a second. Unless you are some kind of modern day Einstein or a Chemistry major for some God forsaken reason, taking any kind of science at the college level borders on inhumane torture. While sitting in lecture halls full of self loathing students, all anyone really learns is how much they hate drawing chemical compounds. The level of absolute impractically to everyday life of the information taught is comparable to learning how to solve a rubix cube. It's impressive if you know how to do it, but it's useless information to 99 percent of us.
Quite simply, Chemistry is the worst thing to happen to general education courses and here's why:
1. The lecture halls are always packed.
2. Titration is a grueling and tedious process.
3. The professor speaks in some kind of alien code.
4. Who actually cares if its ionic or not.
5. Each new formula gives me another reason to hate chemistry.
6. The professor talks down to you when you don't know solubility calculations.
7. Wiley plus is the Devil's right hand man.
8. Don't even get me started on lab.
9. Three hours just for a freakin' color change!
10. How does one even study for chemistry?
11. Chemical nomenclature...
12. When your parts per thousand is 70!
13. When they expect you to find Molecular Weight on your own.
14. "Place substance in ice bath for 20 minutes."
15. What kind of terrible person created the rules for significant figures?
16. Every single scientific theory has some weird exception.
17. When your professor is nothing like Bill Nye.
18. Learning about chemical bonding like:
19. When you realize nothing you learn will be useful knowledge in your adult life:
20. Thinking you're going to be the next Walter White, but learning about the light spectrum instead:
21. Inhaling all of those chemicals in lab can't be healthy.
22. Lab reports...
23. What if questions at the end of lab reports:
24. When your non graphing calculator is garbage.
25. Lastly, when your advisor tells you that you have to take Organic Chemistry next semester:
