ITT: we confess the pseudo intellectual things we do

When I take math notes I always use the most obscure greek letters and convoluted notation such as writing down commutative diagrams for trivial stuff like change of basis, all so that if someone sees my notes they'll think it's high level esoteric math

>> No.7397171

I'm in calc 3 and sometimes I'll take pics of my notes or hard problems with a lot of notation and send it to everyone on my snapchat(mostly girls) and say "Easy shit"

Nothing really, my notes make me look retarded assuming I actually take them. "This s hit needs to be integrated over that big thing you got from the other thingamagigger you did in blah blah" etc. I use consistent labeling in them though, so it reads fine to me.

There's a small whiteboard outside the door to my lab where you're required to write out any unattended overnight reactions in case anything goes wrong so they know wtf they have to deal with.

People tend to abbreviate a lot of the unimportant details, they just make sure they mention the solvent system and any funky reagents.

I always go full autism, and draw out the entire reaction. This often involves very large biological molecules, and I've memorized their structures and stereochemistry for the sole purpose of being able to show off on the whiteboard.

I always kept a copy of some papers that were WAY beyond what we were learning, back in college, on my desk for whenever my roommate would walk in.

Looking back, it was pretty cringe.
To be fair, it really did help me out though since I WOULD actually try to read them, taught myself a lot of shit that way.

I'm a hoarder with all of my papers.
