Why Study Chemistry?
Because it's fundamental to our understanding of the world around us.
Chemistry is literally everywhere.
It's on the canvases of the great painters. It's in those sugar cookies in the bakery window. It colors your hair. It makes blue jeans blue. It's what lets us breathe the air around us and, most importantly, it's what drives our ability to think.
Many people feel that Chemistry is too difficult, too unapproachable. Like any good science, it is rooted in finding the truth and the truth is not always easy to find. Does that mean it's not the right choice for you?
Before you answer, think about this:
Chemical reactions drive everything. From volcanoes to a cup of soda. From air conditioners to helium balloons. From plants to humans and every creature in between. All of them rely on Chemistry to function. Anything you interact with on a daily basis requires Chemistry to even exist. Without Chemistry, we wouldn't even be around to complain about how hard we think Chemistry is.
So, here's the real question:
Why wouldn't you want to study Chemistry?
