The Hexagon Mastery Program

The Hexagon Mastery Program
Four years of organic chemistry education distilled into one perfect hexagon. The pie chart of "Things I Learned in Organic Chemistry" shows the brutal truth - it's basically 99% learning to draw hexagons while pretending to understand benzene rings. The tiny slivers for "Interesting Reactions," "Nomenclature," and "Deadly Compounds" are just decorative garnish on your degree. Chemistry professors be like: "Master this six-sided shape and you'll basically understand life itself." Meanwhile, your exam paper looks like a kindergartner's attempt at honeycomb art.

The Hexagon Drawing Marathon

The Hexagon Drawing Marathon
The brutal reality of organic chemistry in one pie chart. Spend 5% of your time learning interesting reactions, 3% memorizing nomenclature, 1% avoiding deadly compounds, and 91% just drawing hexagons. Nothing says "I'm a chemist" like having permanent marker stains on your hands from drawing benzene rings until 3 AM. The real synthesis is the carpal tunnel we developed along the way.

The Great Greek Letter Heist

The Great Greek Letter Heist
The pie chart reveals the brutal truth that actual Greeks barely use their own alphabet anymore, while mathematicians and physicists have completely colonized it. Nothing says "I understand this equation" like throwing in a random σ or λ. The thin blue slice for actual Greeks is the scientific equivalent of finding that one native speaker at a language conference full of enthusiastic foreigners. Next time you see π, pour one out for the actual Greeks who invented it but can't get a word in edgewise.

Chemists Be Like

Chemists Be Like
The truth behind every chemistry lab session! That pie chart perfectly captures the duality of a chemist's life - a tiny sliver for "actual research" while the massive chunk is just "playing around with chemicals." Let's be honest, half the fun of chemistry is mixing random stuff together to see what happens. Sure, we'll call it "exploratory experimentation" in the paper, but deep down we're all just kids with really expensive toys and safety goggles.

The Real Cost Of A Physics Degree

The Real Cost Of A Physics Degree
The tiny sliver of "the math is hard" is just the appetizer. The real tragedy? That massive blue section representing the permanent destruction of your movie-watching experience. Once you understand how objects actually move through space, Hollywood becomes a personal hell of incorrect trajectories and impossible explosions. I've spent 30 years teaching undergrads about conservation of momentum only to watch them cry during finals week... and then again at every Marvel movie premiere. The worst part? That pie chart is missing the largest section: "spending your career explaining to relatives why you can't build them a perpetual motion machine."

Reasons I Get Math Problems Wrong

Reasons I Get Math Problems Wrong
The universal truth of mathematics: spending 3 hours on a complex differential equation only to realize you wrote 5+7=13 somewhere on page one. That massive 55% yellow slice isn't just a statistic—it's my biography. Ever notice how your brain can simultaneously calculate the trajectory of a falling coffee cup but somehow forget that negative signs exist? That's the 26% gray slice working its magic. The real kicker? Only 4% of errors come from not understanding the problem. Turns out we're all geniuses trapped in bodies that can't do elementary school arithmetic!

The Great Greek Letter Heist

The Great Greek Letter Heist
Poor Greeks! They invented this beautiful alphabet only to get the tiniest sliver of the pie chart for actually using it! Meanwhile, mathematicians are over here like "Ooh, look at me, I need π, θ, and Σ for my fancy equations" and physicists are hoarding α, β, γ, and Ω like they're collecting infinity stones! The irony is DELICIOUS—actual Greek people barely get credit for their own alphabet while science nerds have basically turned it into their secret code. Next thing you know, we'll discover the ancient Greeks were actually solving differential equations just to order souvlaki! 🤓

The Invisible Benefits Of Academia

The Invisible Benefits Of Academia
The joke is that there's a pie chart showing the "Benefits of staying in academia after PhD" with color-coded segments for Salary, Wellness, Stable mental health, and Confidence for your future... except none of these segments actually appear in the chart. It's the statistical equivalent of an empty set. Just like the promised work-life balance we were told about in grad school orientation. I've been living off ramen and grant rejection letters for seven years now, but hey, at least I get to put "Dr." on my credit card applications.

Actual Counter Example Of The Four Color Theorem

Actual Counter Example Of The Four Color Theorem
Hold up, mathematicians! Someone's trying to break the universe with a pie chart using FIVE colors! The Four Color Theorem states that any map can be colored using just four colors without adjacent regions sharing the same color. But this rebel pie chart is flaunting FIVE distinct colors (pink, purple, orange, green, and blue) while having no adjacent regions sharing colors! It's mathematical anarchy! Of course, the joke is that a pie chart isn't a map in the theorem's sense - the theorem applies to planar maps where regions share borders. In a pie chart, every slice touches every other slice at the center point, so technically you'd need as many colors as slices! Mathematical mic drop! 🎤

The Real Cost Of A Physics Degree

The Real Cost Of A Physics Degree
The eternal curse of physics majors - that tiny brown slice representing "the math is hard" is nothing compared to the massive green portion: "You'll never enjoy action movies again as you'll always notice the wrong physics." Once you understand momentum conservation, every explosion scene becomes a crime against Newton's laws. "Why isn't that car moving in the opposite direction of the explosion? Where did all that angular momentum come from? That's not how pendulums work!" Your friends will stop inviting you to movie night when you start calculating whether Spider-Man's web could actually support his weight during that swing.

What I Learn From Group Projects

What I Learn From Group Projects
The universal truth of engineering education right here! This pie chart brilliantly breaks down the REAL curriculum of group projects. Notice how the tiniest sliver is actually learning to work with others—you know, the supposed point of the whole exercise! Meanwhile, half the chart is split between "doing everything yourself" and "developing a healthy hatred for your teammates." The tiny red slice for "actual information" is just *chef's kiss* perfect. Engineering students spend years mastering complex equations only to discover their most valuable skill is figuring out how to complete a six-person project while their teammates are mysteriously "busy" every single weekend!

The Real Reason Behind Math Failures

The Real Reason Behind Math Failures
That tiny sliver of blue represents actual mathematical errors, while the overwhelming orange portion represents misinterpreting what the problem was asking in the first place. The irony is palpable—we spend years mastering calculus and algebra only to be defeated by the phrase "find the value of x such that ..." Nothing crushes the soul quite like realizing you perfectly solved the wrong problem.
