    Hey denizens of nuftopia, Mrnebulist here. As a recently graduated pharmacy student, I got to unload a massive burden that's been bugging my brain, a menace called Phytochemistry. Phytochemistry is the study of plants, there biochemistry and medicinal uses. The subject is terrifying due to the sheer amount of information that your brain has to memorize. In the exam, you could be asked to wrote any structure that's been covered, excluding exceedingly complex ones.

    I have come across 25 out of the 29 structures displayed above and that's only one course. Thank God I won't be studying it anymore
    So, what about you?

    economy, national languge, and other social-related subjects. I can't understand them. math and science are way easier.

    My bane was writing assignments in a way that would agree with the professor, even if I knew it was factually wrong.

    Proof writing in math, not because of the actual subject itself but because the textbooks cloak everything in philosophy and don't explain the bare mechanics of what you're doing. Learning it on ones own is very difficult, and often times you have to rely on doing many problems to comprehend it or on asking help from a teacher until you get it.

    Also have you taken organic chemistry? That class you have to memorize more structures than that, reaction mechanisms, reagents, types of reactions, ways to synthesize various compounds, etc.

    Physics, especially when we delve into quantum mechanics vs general relatively.

    Math and physics to be concise would be advance physics and advance calculus . Basically both advance subjects.

    Anything that requires something that needs to be memorized.
    Which means basically, EVERYTHING.

    I blame the current educational methods.

    Electro-magnetics. Tried to learn it on my own. It was one of the worst ideas I've ever had. I didn't have any of the base knowledge to even start learning it, since I've never learned physics. Looking at all these crazy symbols and trying to decode it, but then it explained things by referring to some theories/equations I'd never heard of it, like they were obvious. It felt like trying to multiply before you've learned to add. (Still haven't learned it.)
    The thing that I've actually studied in school/college that gave me the most trouble, would be language (Spanish). Remembering to use the correct grammar and all the tenses at the right spot of the sentence while speaking is so difficult... So many stalled conversations... ; - ; and yet I never get better.
    Oh. And Public Speaking. The bane of my existance. A requirement at my college, a class I have started and dropped 3 times. When you have problems with anxiety, this class is just plain torture. I am pretty mad that it is a requirement. I understand their reasons, but I'm still mad about it. Everyone telling me "But that's the easiest class ever~" doesn't make it any better. :/
