tag yourself: social medias

twitter - 99% stan twitter vocab, always shouting random things, likes drama just for the hell of it, is somehow always fighting someone???, holds grudges, sometimes has soft and wholesome moments, records everything

tumblr - pretty chill, can do a little bit of everything, organized, seems innocent but probably has the dirtiest mind out there, supportive!!, artistically talented like damn, reads (and sometimes writes) fan fic

instagram - naturally gifted at makeup like james charles who????, aesthetic phone case and laptop, has kinda messy yet organized notes, is always out of the house, spends lots of time with friends, has the best fashion sense out there

facebook - an oldie but a goodie, always complaining of achy joints and back pain, tries to spice up their life, values friends and family, in a lot of different friend groups, will send memes at 1am, lowkey a conspiracy theorist

snapchat - has short bursts of energy throughout the day, accidentally ghosts people because they’re not the best at texting, likes to record everything too, really organized and color codes everything, has hella friends

vsco - super aesthetic photographer, absolutely loves nature and wants to live in it, will do anything for a good photo, their insta bio probably says “why capture the moment when you can live in it”, either way they’re really artsy

reddit - definitely believes in aliens and that robots will take over the world, asks questions that lead to existential crises, gives the best advice ever, can be a wholesome bean, very spontaneous

what’s app - loves to talk, public speaking is their forte, probably the most extroverted person out there, will also send memes at 2am, loves learning new languages and could probably speak more than one, uses emojis when texting

Don’t let that math equation intimidate you. Intimidate that math equation instead. Show who’s boss

*This probably only applies to those of you entering college, as high school lab work seems to be much more chill. Also, this is just my experience and may very well vary from place to place.*

Sleep a decent amount of hours (if you can, have a nap right before) and EAT BEFORE YOU GO THERE - lab work is physically exhausting, you’re usually there for several hours and you can count the times you get to sit down on one hand.

Read whatever information you are given about your lab work beforehand. You don’t want to get there and not know what’s going on.

Be active! There’s nothing worse than a lab partner than needs to be told to do things. If you’ve read whatever info you were given, you’ll have an idea of what to do so take the initiative. Offer to do stuff. Don’t just stand around waiting for orders.

Wear layers. Labs are freezing cold 10% of the time and scorching hot 90% of the time (especially once you put on your lab coat). The heat is specially bad because you may even get dizzy so please wear layers (the lightest one should be a short-sleeve or tank fop).

Don’t forget:

Water bottle - heat = dehydration

Hair tie - tie your hair up. Just do it.

WEAR COMFY SHOES - you may think those boots are soo comfy and chic but I guarantee you’ll change your mind after there hours of standing. Sneakers are the way to go 

Yes you can just have one lab coat. But you still need to wash it. Volatile solvents don’t mask B.O.

Things break. Try your best not to break them but know that it’s not that big of a deal so don’t worry too much if you do.

‘Water’ always means deionized water. Always. Unless stated otherwise. Seriously, it can ruin your whole experiment. Also when you’re washing any equipment, you should always give them one last rinse with deionized water.

If you need to take away from something you’re weighting or a liquid you’re transfering with a pippete, that never goes back into the ‘original tub’. It’s a residue.

Painted nails + organic solvents equal ruined nails. Gloves don’t help. Beware. But, gloves are great and v recommended if you’re dealing with oh idk rat pee.

Once you get home, you’re probably just going to want to pass out. Don’t. Do whatever you have to do (have coffee ready?) to write as much as you remember about what you’ve done. It makes writing the lab write-up. So. Much. Easier.

On the same note, if you know you have something due the day after a lab, get it done beforehand because you probably won’t have the energy to do it afterwards. If you have lab work all week long (like I do), get as much done on the weekend as possible 

Listen, if you know an upper classman who’s taken that class, ask to borrow their write-ups. Beg for them if you must. They will save your life.

Have a lab write-up template. You can look for one online or model It after your professor’s directions or an upper-classman’s write-up. Having something that you can just ‘fill in’ is super convenient.
