...experiences (and poor grades) in orgo don’t signal future failure in the upper-level courses.The gentle introduction to the post-Chem 30 world is the odorous Chem 135, “Experimental Synthetic Chemistry.” If you ever plan to work in a chemistry lab in the future, or you’d just like to play around with chemicals ranging from curiously dangerous to don’t-you-dare-drop-that dangerous, button up your lab coat. The course mostly consists of a weekly marathon eight-hour lab. There, graduate student TFs patiently...
...Louis Brandeis.” Notice in particular the use of explicit dates and the indefinite fourth-person referent “one” to get the full pompous effect that you’re going for. Not only will you be able to kick it with your lab partner while you two calculate relativistic momentum, spend long enough in the Hist A core and you may find yourself feigning the role of a humanities buff without realizing it.

Because while they spend hundreds of hours a semester in the unflattering fluorescent lights of a lab or scribbling out equations on their so-called “midterms” that occur on a weekly basis, you’ll be relaxing quietly in a dark lecture hall looking at pictures. Maybe you can even sit in the back and take a midday nap. It?...

If you prefer the bigger picture, Science A-36, “Observing the Sun and Stars,” has some promise, but be prepared to put in the hours, as two labs a week—limited to 6 students—outside of class are required, and six lab reports make up the bulk of your grade (the lowest two are dropped). Weekly quizzes involve quantitative reasoning, but not being a science buff won’t hurt too much—prior...
...shortcut to what we think is right, what job recruiters deem productive, or live at that amazing lab we always aspired to run? Because college is the time for introspection, inquiry, and examination: this is the time to leave the cave. People fall deeper into midlife crises when they fail to find their role in the world. That is precisely what a liberal arts education strives to address. So that your fourth decade won’t find you buying a Porsche but feeling empty inside...
