Disciplinary differences Memes

The culture shock when switching from physics to chemistry is REAL. In physics, you're trained to calculate everything - forces, velocities, energies down to the last decimal. Then you step into chemistry where they're like "just explain the reaction mechanism" and your calculator-dependent brain short-circuits. The blank stare of confusion followed by that angry realization that you've spent years developing mathematical muscles you don't even need here. Meanwhile, chemistry students are just vibing with their electron arrows and reaction pathways.
