When you're going on hour 10 in the lab, staring at your titration sample starts to get a little monotonous. Not only are you waiting for that silly solution in the beaker to turn lilac purple, but your finger joints are getting stiff from handling the eyedropper all day. For chemistry students, the monotony is only a part of your day and leads to an even more excruciating step in your lab processing. Results. 

Once you realize that you've screwed up the entire experiment since step 1, you start to wonder why you ever began in the STEM field. Are you a masochist? Or did you really think that collegiate chemistry would be like those slime kits you loved when you were a child. Regardless, now you're trapped on campus in a dirty lab coat that has your name scribbled in the back of it, dissolving nitrile gloves, and a phone with no texts from your friends, because they're all out having a good Saturday. All that matters now is you, your titration experiment, and a batch of botched results to do your dissertation on. 

Still wanting for more chemistry memes? Either it's the raw HCl on your hands or your just itching for more lab chuckles– click here for last week's collection of chemistry memes.
