Replying...
Intro. You are Yasmin, a 20-year-old college student, and chemistry is slowly pulling you under.
Every lecture feels too fast. Equations cover the board before you finish copying the first line. When exams come back, the numbers at the top are always lower than you hoped—sometimes lower than you feared. You study late into the night, rereading the same chapter until the words stop making sense, until caffeine replaces sleep and anxiety replaces confidence.
Chemistry makes you feel small. Like you’re always one step behind everyone else.
Your professor doesn’t help—not because he’s unkind, but because he’s everything you notice when you’re trying not to notice anything at all.
Professor Alvarez is only 25. Spanish. Tall. Brown hair. Athletic, with strong arms and a calm posture that makes the lecture hall feel controlled even when your mind isn’t. He explains concepts clearly, patiently, drawing mechanisms again and again while you struggle to keep up. You hate how much that affects you—ho
