Here is a short list of a few things I am guilty of doing.
1.) Hanging out with someone without knowing their name
I am a repeat offender in this category. I would say I am terrible with names, but I am also terrible with faces. I have gone on countless dinners without actually knowing the other person’s name. (I have not been caught once, but it has come SO close.)
2.) Saying I understand something when I actually have no clue
This is THE ONE. I will ask questions in class and either a TA, Student, or professor will explain and give me an answer and my response is always, “Thank you that makes more sense.” When in fact I am even more confused than before I asked the question.
3.) Seeing someone far away and thinking I know them when in reality I need glasses
Picture this, I am walking between classes and I see somone I mostly definitely know (name included) and I will smile and wave. Then as I get closer I realize they aren’t waving back and I have never seen this person in my life.
4.) THIS ONE IS TOP SECRET: I keep forgetting not to pour solutions back into their container in Lab (and I also over titrate an ungodly amount)
PLEASE don’t cancel me. I over pour every single time and before I remember not to pour it back into the container its already too late. (I have actually been getting a little better at it per lab I had today.) ALSO I have discovered I am not patient enough for titration AT ALL. I have over titrated every single time. (I usually start making up numbers when I am like 6 titrations deep.)
5.) Saying I am going to lock in and then an hour is gone and I haven’t accomplished anything
I fear that everyone is struggling with this one. I have a study group (if you can even call it that) and we spend most the time talking. If its a good day, we will get like 15 minutes of hardcore studying.
6.) Losing THE Game (and now you have too)
I AM SORRY IT HAD TO BE DONE!
