Fuck Chemistry. So I thought I would try undergrad bio on a whim, and the intro chem lab convinced me of the error of my ways from the fucking second I stepped into it. Measuring a metallic rod and immersing it in a grad. cyl. to calculate displacement based on a simple fucking delta!
No fucking stools to sit on in a nearly three hour lab! What am I in, Birchenau?
Working with a troglodyte partner whose only qualification as human is the presence of a pulse? Needless to say, I walked on out of that circle of hell and did not look back. Is this what a posteriori, empirical modes of knowledge entail? Screw it, embryology interested me, along with molecular bio. but not at this cost. Is physics more elevated than this shit?
oh my god... first year chem is so hard. Those 3 hour labs, all that algebra, the procedures written out to the letter for you.

Seriously though, the first semester of chem in kind of boring and you probably should have done AP in high school.
Nevertheless, it does get interesting once you reach the organic synthesis courses, or biochemistry courses, depending on which route you take.

>>2 I'm recovering from years of being a shut in, a psuedo hikki, so I am a lot (10 yrs. +) older than others who have to go through this and the pressure of working with others on such seemingly simple crap made me feel like an idiot.
You're just a pussy who can't take freshman stupidity. It doesnt get much better anywhere else in school

First year physics students have much higher average intelligence than first year bio students, but the labs are just as mind-numbing.
(Note: I am neither.)

OP here. I transfered in with junior standing and all of my other courses are 200-300 level and doable. I think I'm just going to drop chemistry and switch to a humanities major.

the point isn't how interesting school is, it's not there to entertain you; it's there to teach you a much more precise way of working with your world; YOU are the person who has to get creative with what you're taught
fuck chemistry is what we call that big black dick in yo wife sucka he and her got da fuck chemistry

Realistically you start learning concepts of a complexity that most of the numerate literate population can't understand by simply looking it up in high school. Of course this varies with intelligence, some people can instantly understand university level material, the bottom percentiles have problems with middle school level material. I'm just speaking generally.
