I know I make this joke every time, but only because it is true: That's the same chemistry equipment I would use two decades later! Down to the glasses even.

But not the smock.

Makes you wonder where those lab fees went.

This two page spread is all about the chem labs. There are five photographs and the seven faces all have this same expression.

The text is very dismissive of advice given to high school students about college, correctly pointing out that text and notes are secondary to the evils of lab work. It also points out the major components of labs, including: "Wanting to kill the girl across from you who always knows what she is doing" and "wanting to kill the guy next to you who always needs your help, even if it's just a comment on whether you think his bunsen burner is adjusted properly."

That last guy was me. I apologize.
