My friend lives in a university where all the students pretty much have their own town. It’s in a city but this region is known as student town. It’s rare I’d meet a nice girl where I live but when I went up there and stayed for a few days, my god. He was getting laid all the time and had girls round every night. Also if you went to one of the bars in that area, you’d get chatting to people and they’d invite you to a house party and give you the address. That’s like every night. I don’t how they survive on that level of temptation, you can see people who were too deep into the whole partying every night though. Like they needed just a night off and get some solid sleep in but couldn’t say no.
Being pre-medical student in the middle of organic chemistry classes right now, I can't tell you how jealous I am of his instant-proton spectrum abilities.
"I've got to learn this" I always admire these kinds of people in uni that can manage workload and still think like this. Because I for one cannot brain the 'need to learn' part, years of barely passing has made me see assignments as just... tasks. Work for me to pass.
I remember organic chemistry back in 96. It was evil then as it is now. I also remember all these wannabe doctors flunking out and crying when midterms and finals were given. During my 2nd semester organic chemistry exam it was 20 pages long and all equations. Guys and girls were crying. Many of the students told the instructor to F-off to his face. He just laughed it off. Some people just walked out 5 minutes into the exam. It was hard as hell. It was like something I hadn't even studied for. I stayed till the very end and did every problem. Somehow I passed. This was at the University of Michigan. The next year only 20% remained. We went from like 800 students down to less than 200 in my field. By my senior year, there were only like 50 of us still in the game. Years later I ran into that same instructor at a movie theater and I thanked him for making it hard. You don't want wannabes cutting you open. Some things in life just have to be hard.
My debate/speech Prof. (juris doctor, but never was called to the Bar) said the same thing in 1969. By making it easy the ENTIRE education system is raising the LEVEL OF EXPECTATIONS for students while not requiring them to upgrade or even struggle. Basketweaving degree from a JC may get you INTO UCLA, or U. Mich,, but it won't KEEP you there. My son got into an elite "Combined Sciences" dept. in Canada and I reminded him that, private HS or not, don't allow yourself to get "baby sat" by well meaning teachers. It's a rough life out there, and the comp. is fierce. A LOT MORE FIERCE than when I was in school.
I am trying to think of how organic chemistry could make you a better medical doctor. I didn't find organic chemistry to be difficult at all. Physical Chemistry was much more complicated with quantum mechanics twisting my brain in knots. While you are explaining the benefits of organic chemistry, go ahead and throw in the benefits of quantum mechanics.
because your reality as everyone else's is bleak and shadowy, you remember a simpler time when you saw this movie for the first time and now in your adulthood which didn't turn out as you hoped you come to therms with your illusions and idolize this persona of Will an accidental genius sort of like a super hero and you relish the opportunity to feel like him a savant with the perfect background , sort of like experiencing some form of contrition and taking comfort that true justice is actually taking place unlike the real world.
He was hot but not only is Will smart he is less arrogant and superficial he also would have kicked that other guys ass in a fight. So if you like beta males I see what you found attractive about him.
I think that being freakishly smart would be mostly a curse, and this movie makes a similar argument, but I'm sure there would be moments where it would really come in handy, as in this sequence
Actually, being freakishly smart would be such an advantageous blessing that would allow one to potentially have life in the palm of their hands and this movie actually makes *several* strong points about the perks and benefits of possessing a freakish intellect/intelligence as well.
I’m guessing you’ve never taken a break while doing homework you don’t want to do. She was probably just taking a break or relaxing before doing her homework.
@@charliedallachie3539 Yeah, just go for a walk, sit outside, etc. Homework, for most people, is boring, so taking a break to recharge isn't exactly strange.
O chem is general is pretty simple. Like I am half retarded when it comes to physics, and physical chemistry was the most confusing class I've ever taken. O chem though wasn't bad at all
Jesus people, this movie came out in the 90s. Curriculums change. I started out as a Bio major. We had two Chemistry requirements. General, and Organic. Both courses were required with the only tier requirement being the General prior to Organic. You could take it your final year. Skylar waited to her final year to take it.
@Daniel Treadwell College is a waste for 100% of the people that think that college is a waste. You can choose to 'rage against the machine' if you wish, but the fact of the matter is securing even a 2-year degree is going to lead to much better financial outcomes. You have to be invested in it in order to get anything out of it, but a lot of people just treat it like High School 2.0.
@@Effedup Well it's a waste in the sense that it's a super inefficient way (both time wise and financially) to learn anything, but a degree is basically required nowadays to do anything in life so that's why most people don't have a choice
theres been a small handful of people in history that were this talented and smart and applied themselves. There have been a few people in history that were truly brilliant, intelligence of a higher species.
Not as an actual med student, but an undergrad looking to go to med school. Organic chemistry is a requirement to apply for most medical programs, so like 99% of med students take it during their undergrad courses.
From what I’ve read these two dated during or after the film and Damon dumped her on the Oprah Winfrey show unbeknownst to Miss Driver. Way to go Matt- slick move🤦♂️
....no, thats actually kinda how it goes these days. if your a dude with purpose in your eyes the rest of the girls there know why your there, they wont stand in your way...cause they all have booty calls that do the same thing.
This is actually one of the only moments between them I dont like. He leaves her hanging for a week and then just shows up and expects her to be ready when he is. I don't think it shows mutual respect for each other's time and boundaries... but then again, i am sad that this guy wont call me back, so what do I know xD xD
"no ive got to learn this" well the man that did your assignment in two seconds is asking you to hang out, wouldnt it be more efficient to learn from that person than from a 50 page chapter in a 30 year old textbook?
Organic chemistry was the most fun chemistry course I ever took. I struggled in Gen chem 2 but orgo 1 and 2 were relatively easy for me. I guess I'm just more of a visual person.
I was working on a TV show, a well known popular cop drama - we were filming a night exterior scene in Manhattan - who walks by - Minnie Driver - and she stands to the side and watches - I went over and said hello and we chatted and I offered to bring her over to meet the star of the show, etc but she declined - we talked for about 15 minutes - she was lovely, charming, funny, smart - then who shows up? Her boyfriend - he was unimpressive and appeared a bit jealous - he was not in her league - that's my meeting with Minnie!
My goodness Mr. Bang-a-lion, you make perfect sense! Your internet anonymity makes you the king of the comment court! I'll stop talking to actual doctors, professors, and I'll stop working in my hospital right away! Oh, and that part about not getting mad, but instead getting? Brilliant. ... Trollolololololol.
i did just about the same thing to my ex - she was going to IIT for a doctorate in something or other and gave some crap excuse about needing examples of databases with images for use on the internet - this was the late 90s so that was kinda new at the time - like it was some grand intellectual achievement. At any rate, I had some proceedings (everything was printed up back then - archiv these days) from a conference that I'd gone to a couple of weeks earlier and one of the papers was on that same thing (probably better than she would have found because she was light on the technical side). Looked up a couple more and gave them to her and said "OK, lets go out".
He denied by contrasting his style of memory as being contradictory to the definition of a photographic memory. You can remember alot of things without having a photographic memory, photographic memory is simply a style of memory.
