Friendship has an 'end'. Girlfriend has an 'end'. But you know what has no 'end'? Lab partners. Your lab partner, although assigned to you against your will, has become your most solid relationship in the Chem lab. When you need something done and you need it done at an amateur level, your lab partner is there for you. Through A's and C's, you and your labbie have passed each course by some miracle, haphazardly splicing together your experiments and renderings with the hope that one way you'll be PhD candidates. Until that day, you know you can always count on the one person who shares a lab coat with you. There's nobody else on Earth who has protected you from burning yourself with 37% HCl and there's nobody else who will help you fudge your o-chem diagrams, so hold that person tight and never let go.

They might even appreciate this week's batch of chemistry memes, so send these funnies over to your very favorite person in the world: your lab partner.
