  • I am a decently smart individual that spends a little too much time watching anime. This video is meant for all the other people who are also smart but not geniuses. For someone who is not a genius, is orgo really that hard or are ppl just dumb. I got an A in both orgo courses, but for one of them the prof made my life very miserable. Tbh, its difficult, requires a lot of time, but your experience will be heavily dictated by how good and nice your professor is. If you want a humorous video that gives some insight into what I think the entire orgo process is like or just want to cry bc ur currently failing, this is the video to watch.
    Is it really like learning to ride a bike? It becomes intuitive but the difficulty level is there. It just can be way worse than it needs to be if your professor so chooses.

    My first orgo professor was awful. I had to teach myself EVERYTHING. Wading through dense materials and resources from all over the internet and the library, desperately searching for breadcrumbs that would help me make sense of it all. He wasn’t helpful at all, couldn’t explain things in ways that made sense to the average non-organic chemistry PHD having person. Took it over the summer, so I had to do it all in 4 weeks! Summer also meant very little access to tutors. I was completely on my own. I passed, but feel so scared and unprepared to take Orgo 2. My first orgo 2 lecture was this past week, and I’m terrified.
