I am super afraid this will happen when I go to school. I am ok with 60 hrs/wk but 80...I would melt down

Honestly, at least at my institution, this is an advisor-by-advisor thing. It helps to like talk to current grad students and get a feel for what the group expectations are. (You can also ask an advisor this point blank -- it’s bold, but it wouldn’t be unusual.)

I never did Co-Op, but if you desire to apply to Graduate school Summer REU's and research is a must

My university is pretty small and doesn’t have much in the way of research experience for undergrads.

There’s no summer research program. The only thing my university brings up is the possibility of professors hiring student research assistants and research scholarships (but my GPA is too low for that).

I might email my professors and ask if its possible for me to volunteer to help them with their research. My schedule this term is pretty laid back.

In 4th year, there’s an opportunity to do a professor assisted research project as a course, as well.

Can organic chemistry be slytherin? I mean potions.

Okay, first of all there is no inherent connection between slytherin and potions. Just because Snape was head of slytherin house and also the potions master doesn’t mean that slytherin == potions.

How many credits are you taking? I'm taking 20 and work 20 and thought I had a hectic schedule.

My uni determines the credits per course so some are 3 credits, other 6 and so... But I'm taking 11 courses, that's 31 theoretical hours and 3 lab hours. And I'm trying to get a job in my faculty, that's another 20 hours ;-; 

The whole stick around in the environment and then give everyone cancer thing (I'm looking at you benzene...)
