    Ah… I remember these days, being in a somewhat nervous caffeine induced psychosis, typing in an haughty fervor and writing 20+ pages with unmerited arrogance and barely an ounce of fear. Printing it out before it’s due and feeling like I pulled off an Ocean’s theft after managing a 93%.

        and cite sources correctly, and correctly put the sources in the correct paper format on the last page, which was the most annoying part. i remember the annoying hanging indents you have to use.

        70% in non-stem majors. 60 is the norm for chemistry, gen chem was the hardest chems compared to org chem, biochem was in between, but also had a terrible teacher. and this was how COMMUNITY schools were teaching in my area, and not universities, at a univerisity it was so much easier to understand gradingwise. of course if you want to ge to more advance classes or grad school, C’s arnt acceptable at all. it was better to drop or disenroll early on, or get D. withdraw, they made it extremely difficult to do it. because many programs might calculate Ws harsher than a D depending on where you want to go.

        True, I just took pride in pulling a paper out of my ass at the last second and it appearing like I put weeks of effort into it lol.
