    Chemistry in general is like magic to me.

    But when I look at organic chemistry stuff, I know it’s magic.

    Folks, if your boo:

    • Calls their personality quirks “functional groups”
    • Tests you by demanding you elucidate their mechanisms
    • Has unexplainable peak splitting between 0 and 10 ppm

    That’s not your boo; that’s an organic chemistry

    I never understood why everyone said or orgo was so hard. It was only a lot of memorizing like history.

    My hard classes were ones where we were allowed to bring the textbook and any notes we wanted.

      Orgo 1 and 2 were challenging for sure but nothing like physical chem or biochem 2. Those were the real skill checks
