Yes. Everything you’ve said here. This is perfect.

I really liked A Bollywood Affair. I read it several months ago. It does indeed feel very rich and swoony.

YASSSSS QUEEN

“What a time to be alive” in response to that is killing me.

So I tried to watch American Beauty when I was a freshman in college and I ended up having to stop it and never resume it out of secondhand embarrassment for Kevin Spacey’s character. Did...did it ever get non-creepy or non-awkward?

Lisa Kleypas is the queen, tbh. Also one of the absolute best at having very real chemistry between characters.

I know better than to believe.

I’m so confused right now. I don’t even watch Mad Men, why are there spoilers on a damn post about vaccines?

I am deeply bitter about the amount of time I gave up to physics lectures, labs, lab reports, etc, and even more bitter about biochem. I’d spend HOURS on my lab writeups (post and pre, and during!) for biochem, and get awful grades on them. So mad.

I ended up bawling in a professor’s office (not even my biochem prof! My research prof, who was in the biology department, who happened to catch me on A Bad Day, and said just the wrong damn thing (“What’s wrong? You seem sad”) and I lost it. Just ugly-sobbing for over half an hour because I couldn’t stop once I’d…

Ooooh, what part of MI? I was in the UP. :) I loved it up there, but...also knew I couldn’t stay there. I miss the landscape and the snow a lot. And the air. The air in MI is different.

I can 100% see how biostats would have this effect on people. 100%.

I sprained my ankle during a hybrid basketball/soccer game in freshman phys ed. My teacher docked my grade that grading period because I couldn’t participate. But I did pass, somehow.

“you’ll never learn it and you’ll never pass.Better give up now.”

Oooof. I know this pain well too. Why do all the things we need the most have to be the hardest to get?

It is a true fact that math is the actual wooooooooooorst.

I liked orgo personally, but MOTHERFUCKING BIOCHEMISTRY. *sob*

My dad had some similar comments. He’s an electrical engineer. :D

I started in 2004 (in a different major. I decided to switch to biology in 2007. Aside from taking fall/spring of 2006 and fall semester of 2010 off from classes entirely, and not doing summer classes (I always worked during the summers instead) I’ve been in school this entire time—I was at a 4-year university to…

I had to take gen chem twice. Both semesters. The first one was because I got a D and my school at the time wanted a C. The second time, my grandfather passed away in the middle of the semester and I had to miss several classes, which ultimately led to me having to drop the class and retake it. There was nothing about…
