The meme displayed here demonstrates the frustration that many of us students go through when learning about the different cycles within our metabolism. When coming into cell biology, I knew that the process of making ATP was fairly important, but I was not prepared to take a deep dive into photosynthesis, the Krebs cycle, and glycolysis back to back! The reason why I chose this meme in particular is because it perfectly fits the before and after version of myself post exam. I went into the exam feeling extremely confident in every part of the cycle and once I opened the exam, it was like I had my memory swiped completely. Honestly, that explains how I feel on most exams I take. In preparation for future exams, I have had to draw diagrams or quiz myself multiple times to ensure that I know not just an answer to a question but why processes happen in the first place.
