<p>I'm taking Chem 1 this summer and I hate it! It's extremely boring so far and I'm tired of learning cations and anions. Does anyone have any advice on how to make it through all of the chemistry's? I have 4 more to go.</p>
<p>4 more chemistries? As in, general chemistry? Or general and organic? Or something else?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I don't think there's a whole lot you can do to make it more interesting, you'll just have to trudge through it.</p>
<p>Or you can do what I did during all of gen chem: make words using element symbols from the periodic table. Eg,</p>
<p>SCrUBS
CAlCuLaTe
PoLaNd
InCuBaTe
FrAcTiON</p>
<p>Seriously I have like 2 pages worth in my chem notebook from gen chem.</p>
<p>OH SNaP</p>
<p>10 char</p>
<p>Those are pretty clever! I appreciate the advice. I have to take general chem 1, chem 2, orgo 1, orgo 2, and biochemistry. I suppose it's just going to be a painful ride. Thanks!</p>
