Man, biochem sucks


Some things never change :laugh:


Haven't been in here forever... just wanted to say...

I hate biochemistry. That's all.

yeah, biochem was terrible for me too. hated that stuff.

Wow, this thread is still here. Doesn't med school suck, guys? Also, biochem is fine. It's Cell bio that sucks.

Nope, it's embryology :scared:

Genetics really blows

Actually, it's

It's funny, back in the day I thought embryology was bad. That's nothing compared to neuro and microbio right now 🙄
 
36 people in our class of 165 got honors on our biochem exam. Let's just say I was not one of them.
 
Biochem and microbio were our worst, genetics and immuno weren't much better for me, but a lot of other people somehow enjoyed those. Embryology was included in our cell bio class, so that was 👍

But yeah it all sucks.

I'm just surprised so many people did so well. It's probably one of maybe three classes we've had where that many people have made honors on the midterm. Our final is an NBME, so that's another story; I'm sure not that many people will pass with honors at the end of it. But still...biochem??? Of all the classes to be good at...

Considering all of the biochem majors that go to medical school, it's not that surprising.

I haven't gotten an A (ABCF grading at my school) in any class yet. And I am 100% satisfied. Just get me through the year.
 
😍😍😍

Please come visit. I still need a date to Med Prom, you know. YOU COULD BE THAT DATE.

I don't have to worry about finding a date for Med Prom...because my school doesn't have one! (At least not in 1st year)

PS - I call dibs on Corneas being my date for my med prom next year!!! 😀

No can do.


:owle: I, Agent B, the Prince of Owls and Tomatoes will willingly be your suitor for any prom of yours. :owle:

We're HPF here, but still get percentages for class rank (quartiles). I believe I've been in A range on a final possibly once. I just don't care about it that much. I'd rather preserve my sanity than waste my time studying things that have no perceived relevance to my chosen field.

Yes, yes, yes! I will definitely be your date.

I haven't heard anyone talk about med prom, at least not first years. I wonder if it's even a thing, you know? Or if only losers go to it, while the cool kids just have pre-parties at their houses that turn into real parties that are so good that no one makes it to boring med prom.
 
That's odd--I suddenly have the urge to eat a cat.
 
It was posted on 6:35 AM (earlier in other time zones). I think it's pretty obvious. 😳

If you are using alcohol or drugs in the wee morning hours, you might have a problem. Let's use the CAGE technique:
 
1. Have you ever felt like you needed to Cut down on your drinking?
 
2. Do friends or family ever Annoy you by criticizing your drinking or saying you drink too much?
 
4. Have you ever felt you needed a drink first thing in the morning (an Eye opener) to recover from a night of drinking or to help you wake up in the morning?
 
If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, there is a very high chance that you could have a drinking problem. Please seek help.

1. No. That's stupid.
2. Nope. :naughty:
3. Why would I?
4. 😕 Nope.

So much for the CAGE technique. 😉
 
Not too bad. Test week is coming the week after next, so that's completely terrifying., but after that, SPRING BREAK! How are you doin'?

No exams for three weeks! Better do all the alcohol and illicit drugs I can. We never get breaks like this. Usually it's just 2.
