I'm Available, Ladies...

Nothing says "I'm a competent researcher" like reporting yields that defy the laws of thermodynamics. 180% yield? Either you've discovered how to create matter from nothing, or more likely, you've made a spectacular error in your calculations. But hey, at least you get to strut around the department with that smug "kemist" energy while the other labs question their entire existence. Pro tip: when your product weighs more than your starting materials, it's not a breakthrough—it's water in your sample.

Content Me when I accidentally drink 0.7L of a HC(c=0.2mol/L) solution but remember I drank 0.35L of a NaOH(c=0.4mol/L) solution 10 minutes ago.

Chemistry students everywhere just felt this in their soul! Textbooks love to lump fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine together as "halogens" that supposedly behave similarly... then proceed to only ever use chlorine and bromine in actual reaction examples. The other halogens? Just theoretical family members that never show up to the organic chemistry party. Fluorine's too aggressive, iodine's too sluggish, and nobody's even seen astatine in person. It's like having five siblings but only ever hanging out with the middle two!

The classic materials science panic moment! Student skips learning phase diagrams (because who needs those complicated temperature-composition charts, right?). Then BAM! The exam demands a eutectic phase diagram... and our desperate hero draws a cute little face inside the actual diagram! 😱 That adorable face with α+β in its belly is technically correct (it's in the right region!) but definitely not what the professor had in mind. The eutectic point (CE) is literally the face's nose! Talk about facing your academic fears head-on!

The progression of drawing a benzene ring is a universal organic chemistry experience! First, you start with a confident line, then struggle with angles, eventually form a hexagon, and finally... Joey gets it completely wrong with that pentagon abomination. Every chem student knows the sacred rule: benzene rings must be perfectly hexagonal with that satisfying alternating double bond notation. That last panel is triggering every organic chemistry professor on the planet right now.

You'd be distressed too if someone asked about your frozen helium! At -269°C (4.2 Kelvin), helium has the lowest freezing point of ANY element, making it nearly impossible to solidify without extreme lab conditions. Trying to freeze helium is basically the cryogenic equivalent of trying to herd cats while blindfolded on a unicycle. Even liquid helium is bonkers enough at -269°C! So yeah, if someone casually asks if your helium is frozen yet, they're either a quantum physicist with a twisted sense of humor or they're mocking your impossible lab goals. No wonder our guy is "far from OK" - he's probably been trying to reach absolute zero for MONTHS!
