Ahaha, ain't that the truth? Now if only I had food in my dorm room...

Oh well, the light at the end of the tunnel is there, even if it flickers sometimes. Tons of other people managed and I always tell myself I can do it, too! Then I cry over my homework and comfort food until dawn.

@aubree james.
ugh, lucky. all of my chem classes are required

@Synful Cocktail
Smart choice! Haha

I'm in year 12, last year of school and last year, I made the fatal mistake of choosing Chemistry as one of my classes... Oh boy.. That class was the hardest that I've ever taken. Holy shit. At the end of year 11, we could choose to drop one class.. I dropped Chem.

I'm in geophysics minoring in chemistry...it's the worst. The good news is that because it's a minor and I have no other required chem courses I get to take the chem I want (NO ORGO!)

@Deux Ex Machina
I'm dreading physics as well. Ugh. Too much math!

Chemistry is Satan's science. But seriously, fellow pre-med major (though i'm for veterinary instead of human medicine) and it's thusfar a total nightmare. Can't wait for orgo...

@shirtless
Ahh yes, the delta triangle. The bane of my existence.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance
Ohh, so that's like thermochemistry with the enthalpy and all that. The only image coming to mind for some reason is a little triangle and my teacher screaming about how to find specific heat using all these backwards equations.

Just keep studying and reviewing. Things should seem a little easier the second time around. :)

@shirtless
Ha, thanks :)

Honestly, the only part that's hard for me (so far) is enthalpy and specific heat and wavelengths and things like that. Most of the other things were relatively simple. But this is the stuff that tripped me up last semester, so I'm thinking that I just won't ever really master this material, which is rather sad.

I can sort of see how chemistry can relate to medicine. A lot of chemistry actually goes into making the medicine from what I've learned about -- the main thing that comes to mind is iodine being use to treat some forms of cancer, but only certain isotopes were safe enough to use (something like that lol). I mainly studied chemistry in terms of like using elements in weapons and dabbled in the medical aspect of it but that was like over a year ago. I guess they just want you to learn it so that when you're working with medicine you kind of just KNOW like all the background information on everything in your field. Which makes sense, you know? In some way, unfortunately everything involves chemistry -.-

I've taken a college level course of chemistry and passed with a C so I'm not a genius or anything in the subject either so I feel your pain. That stuff was seriously HARD. It just takes a lot of patience. Stoichometry made me want to cry, and oh geez learning about the geometric figures of the actual atoms was just the worst. Feels like there's a lot of common sense that has to go with chemistry because I found my teacher often looking at me like "DUHH don't you know that water is ALWAYS a product of this combining with this and hydrogen makes an acid" and yeah yeah yeah ugh.

Good luck on your finals. I don't miss chemistry at all but it's coming for me next year.
