Breakdown of Chem 114

Conversation I had with my suitemate that I wanted to remember, for the stereotypes

----------------------------------------

Everyone's there for a reason. There are the premeds. They take notes, even when Schmutty repeats himself. Maybe he's doing it for a reason, after all. Premeds make up most of the chem majors and MCDB (molecular, cellular, and developmental biology) majors.

Pure chem and MCDB makors do exist. They generally hate premeds. But chances are, a pure chem major is goign to come into college at a level above genchem, like how I skipped over the lowest level of writing seminars.

One step away are the EEB (ecological, environmental, and behavioral biology) Majors. They're hard sceince people of a different breed, who take chemistry so they can work with chyrogenics at the Peabody, or determine the effects of a chemical spill on a swamp biospere. Some EVST majors are like this, but then they might as well be EEB for the BS.

Then there are the environmental studies majors. They're all like "I'm gonna wear flannel and not pay attention." That used to be me.

Now there is the me who is probably going to drop chem, becasue I'm just taking it for my own personal life education.
