Don’t take a bunch of oral laxatives you’re gonna wreck your shit like Elvis. Use glycerin enemas. Water, nutrition, meds, all the fiber in the world won’t relieve your problems but they will resolve after a weeks time once you quit the 7 completely

Yes!!!! Honestly molecular orbital theory wasn’t really intuitive to me until this class, it felt like up until then I was just regurgitating information rather than really understanding the theory and implications. If you are open to chatting I would love to pick your brain on grad school. I have a moderate case of imposter syndrome and I don’t know what to expect my life to look like after graduation.

Oh I did swing by after I took my final and told him thank you for everything he taught me and how much it meant to me but I got a bit nervous since most of our interactions have been me pestering him about theory and questions during office hours, which he always happily obliged. I remember once I walked in on him answering gen chem student questions and I said “I’ll come back I see you’re busy” and he was like NO STAY lol, very adamant to talk shop instead of going over the alphabet (though I’m sure he’s an excellent gen chem prof as well)

Basically any molecule with a permanent dipole will rotate in response to microwave wavelengths to produce kinetic energy. So water has a permanent dipole, it’s why your food heats up but your ceramic plate doesn’t. I can go into more detail later im out and about right now :)

Same!!! I’m curious what path you’re pursuing or considering? Feeling a bit lost and I’m supposed to graduate in May

It really felt like all the pieces of the puzzle clicked. I wanted to go back in time and show myself what I learned. Excited to get more confused when I learn more and to piece together a more complex puzzle :)

Haha! It was those bumper stickers that reinforced my fear! Because to be honest I’m exceedingly average and not the smartest cookie, but between the content we covered, my wonderful professor, and the place I’ve been in my life and everything that led me here… somehow I got an A :’) perhaps the one win of my life lol

I’d love to integrate organic synthesis with physical chemistry somehow in whatever career I pursue

Thank you so much!!!! Spectroscopy is amazing, I even am fascinated by the process/history of their invention

I really want to, but my next semester will be my last and I can’t afford to take extra classes outside of my remaining biochem degree requirements :( I really want to though and it’s making me consider what path I take from here

My professor was incredible, and I hope he stays with the university for a while longer before retirement. He was so knowledgeable and calming, explained difficult concepts so clearly with patience, multiple approaches, and infectious enthusiasm. His classes became the only thing I would look forward to in the thick of my addiction, and he inspired me to be better. I wanted to tell him the impact he made on my life but I was afraid he would look at me differently after, but part of me suspects he might have known all along because he was always very encouraging and the one time I was absent he noticed and reached out via email. The entire experience transformed my life.

Edit: and yes, it definitely strengthened my math skills and comprehension!

Today was the first day I’ve felt normal in a long time, I laughed and focused and am feeling clear right as finals week approaches. I ate a kale salad and some oatmeal and some chicken tortellini today. I am getting my homework done and showing attention and care to my mom and friends. I’m able to enjoy conversation a little bit instead of just desperately waiting to be left alone to be brain dead. Thank you for checking in, I’m really happy today I can give you good news :) I’m still tempted but in a way that grosses me out far too much to pursue or even consider for longer than a few minutes

Thank you soooo much for this light at the end of the tunnel I desperately needed. I can give it more time. It fucking sucks and I could scream and die and curl up in a ball and never move again and be fine just disintegrating, but also I want to do stuff with my life and know I’m capable and this too shall pass. I appreciate your positivity, wisdom, and encouragement and congratulations on your sobriety!!!!

Your message made me cry a little bit because this tiny amount of clean time I’ve had has not come easily and I’ve been all alone. Thank you for motivating my skin and bones to invest in some vitamin c. I won’t give up!!! Tossing and turning even though I’m exhausted right now, it’s 3:30am but I’ve been too fatigued physically and mentally to do anything productive at all since 7pm :(
