11 Thank Yous For My Chemistry Lab Partner

Kelsey Dietrich

Chemistry lab has, without a doubt, been the worst experience of my undergraduate career. While that might sound like an exaggeration, I can ensure you that it truly is not. Perhaps if the structure of the course were a little more organized or if the instructors were excited and happy to be there, then maybe lab would have been somewhat bearable. Throwback to chemistry lab in high school and everything was great; we celebrated "Mole Day" on October 23rd and the science experiments were always FUN. The reality of college chemistry is nothing even close to being "fun."

The one aspect that always got me through the grueling three hours of chem lab each week was my lab partner. I know that without them, I would never have been motivated to finish the lab. Here are 11 thank yous specifically for my chemistry lab partner.

1. Thank you for always reading the pre-lab.

Preparation is the key to (attempted) success.

2. Thank you for understanding my confusion.

Nobody truly understands your frustrations in lab like the person standing right beside you through it all.

3. Thank you for lighting the Bunsen burner.

I knew chem lab would suck when I could never even light my own burner.

4. Thank you for sharing your homework answers.

No matter how you got those answers, I appreciate every time they were sent my way.

5. Thank you for calming me down whenever I wasn't calm.

Which was pretty much for the entire duration of chem lab.

6. Thank you for unlocking the locker.

You can't even try to complete the experiment if you don't have your equipment.

7. Thank you for doing the parts of the experiment that I didn't want to do.

That made us a good team since we each completed the parts of the experiment that ended up being our strengths.

8. Thank you for answering all of my questions.

Even if you didn't fully know the answer.

9. Thank you for not blowing up the lab with me.

#safetyfirst

10. Thank you for preventing me from dropping out of the class.

Friends who suffer through chem lab together, stay together.

11. Thank you for taking goggle-mark selfies with me at the conclusion of every lab period.

Looking forward to taking our unflattering, weekly "I survived chem lab" selfie was more motivating than I should probably admit.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
