Your 9 AM General Chemistry lecture fills a large hall. You spend two hours absorbing concepts like stoichiometry, then head to a smaller discussion section to tackle practice problems. Later, you meet your biology lab group to outline the pre-lab questions for Wednesday’s osmosis experiment, dividing the research on membrane permeability. You grab a quick lunch, then hit the library, diving into the first two chapters of your General Biology textbook, already feeling the academic grind.
