Found your problem

You could have gotten your dick wet. Instead you're here bitching about your period.
Are you 13?

>"horizontal isotopes"
What did she mean by this?

An atom that sheds one or more neutrons in a vector roughly parallel to the ground.

Thank you sir.

This was in spring semester of my freshmen year

>literally entire semester is extrapolating shit we learned last year with more variables
>people aren't understanding it

I hate the feeling of feeling like I'm smarter than other people, but fuck, how do you struggle with this shit?

What a boring story
