Science student Memes

That moment in chem lab when everyone synthesized ethanol (C2H5O, aka the fun molecule in alcoholic drinks) while you somehow created a molecular monstrosity with 88 carbon atoms. Your face screams "I didn't just fail, I failed spectacularly ." The professor probably keeps your sample as a warning to future students. On the bright side, you might have accidentally invented a new polymer or superheavy fuel! Nobel Prize or academic probation? Only time will tell.

The chemistry student's journey perfectly captured! The buff doge represents high school chemistry grades (W At Er = Tungsten, Astatine, Erbium = "WATER" - a basic pun). Meanwhile, college chemistry hits like a truck with titrations without indicators (where's my color change?!). The periodic table elements spelling "WATER" is that false confidence before university chemistry demolishes your GPA. Chemistry majors know that feeling when you're staring at a colorless solution wondering if your 4-hour lab experiment worked or if you just wasted your afternoon. The transition from memorizing the periodic table to performing actual analytical chemistry is brutal - just like going from buff doge to sad cheems!

Eating cereal while studying electron configurations: totally manageable... until you hit those d-orbital nightmares! The top panel shows our brave student casually munching through the s and p orbitals—nice and orderly, just filling electrons in pairs. Then BOOM! The bottom panel hits with molecular orbital diagrams and suddenly there's milk coming out their nose! Chemistry students know this feeling all too well. One minute you're confidently filling shells, the next you're drowning in hybridized orbitals wondering why you didn't just major in interpretive dance! 🧪💀
