Engineering: Where Reality Is Optional
Engineering education: where reality is optional and math is negotiable! This alignment chart brilliantly categorizes the lies we tell ourselves to make calculations easier. From the classic "no air resistance" (because wind is just a social construct) to the mathematical blasphemy of "π=3" (mathematicians are screaming somewhere). The small approximation sin(x)≈x is practically a gateway drug to the dark arts of engineering. And let's not forget the student's prayer: "The pop quiz probably isn't today" – the most chaotic evil assumption that has destroyed countless GPAs. My personal favorite? "The professor must have made a mistake." The rallying cry of every student who got different answers than their classmates but is too stubborn to admit they're wrong. Engineering: where we build bridges on assumptions and hope for the best!

Stop Doing P-Chem
The eternal struggle of chemistry students everywhere! Physical chemistry is that dreaded subfield where suddenly you're drowning in partial derivatives and thermodynamic equations instead of making cool explosions in the lab. This desperate plea resonates with anyone who's ever stared blankly at a Gibbs free energy equation wondering when they'll ever get to mix chemicals that change colors! The meme brilliantly calls out how P-Chem is basically math wearing a chemistry costume to trick unsuspecting students. And don't get me started on the "ideal gas" mockery! Nothing in chemistry (or life) is ideal - except maybe the sweet relief of finishing your P-Chem final exam. The triangle diagrams and equations at the bottom are the final betrayal - the visual representation of every chemistry student's nightmare when they signed up thinking they'd be breaking bad, not breaking down in tears over partial differential equations!
