of all senior chemistry students, who will actually use chemical principles on a daily basis? Most of us haven’t chosen a career pathway yet. The un-deciders, like me, hopelessly put effort in getting grade that in the long run, has no relevance in deciding our future. I stare at my chemistry handout and staring right back at me was an unfriendly black and white printed piece of paper with groups of organic compounds and principles nicely arranged on it.
