As for me, I never really had the special interest on chemistry but somehow the course that I am majoring is highly related to chemistry which i find it very funny!
Since my schooling times, chemistry is the subject i dislike the most and I don't like attending tuition for the particular subject. But then somehow, almost everything I do and I see has the connection with chemistry which was turnover for me to start liking it and eventually to do this pharmacy course.
As for me, chemistry is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between them, but physics also somehow brings the same definition but the difference is chemistry tends to focus on the properties of substance and the interaction between different types of matter, particularly reactions that involve electrons and physics focus more on the nuclear part of the atom.
The best thing about chemistry is, understanding it helps you to understand the world around you such as cooking is a chemistry, everything you can touch or taste or smell is chemical, and you also will understand abit about how things works. Chemistry is an explanation for everyday things, like why laundry detergent works better in hot water or how baking soda works or why not all pain relievers work equally well on a headache.
Finally, the most important thing is if you know chemistry, you can make educated choices about every day product you use!!
