Wouldn’t Jabba being ‘stupid as fuck’ and making erroneous claims about nature be the less convoluted answer here? Bioengineering, canon or not, sounds like the more complicated explanation.
4 billion years of fixing inorganic carbon in the biosphere. Sometimes mistakes O2 for CO2. Not as fast as some enzymes, but very abundant. Here, have some phosphoglycerates about it.

Sarlac that lost the ability to grow ‘roots’ and instead worked out venom and energy storage (fat and muscle) would outcompete and supplant the sarlacs still producing energetically-expensive, overly-complicated stasis bellies.
What happens if they momentarily fail to keep their meals alive, do they starve or become poisoned by the rotting meat? Do they have issues keeping a varied diet alive? How do they maintain a net positive energy balance after producing all that is required to keep organisms alive? Why not stun them and stash them, like wasps and spiders? Why not fatten up like -gestures broadly at all life-. Fat requires very little maintenance.
Could one, in theory, rescue one’s friends were they trapped in a sarlac?
Sounds like an organism that would quickly be out of business were there any competition at all.
edit: How do they handle the waste produced by the meals-in-stasis?
Pretty impressive, but is he magnificent enough?
Oh dear, her departure says it all.
The godhead got bored and felt like playing hide-and-seek.
This sounds somewhat like the end of Fahrenheit 451.
Power over honey is power over all.

Practice.
Taking notes during lecture helped. Not only does it help cement the information in your mind, it is practice writing legibly enough it can be studied later. You could practice this now, before school starts, by watching something like Khan Academy.
If your major sends you to the whiteboard often, that will help a lot, too. You will naturally improve as you do it out of necessity. Practice on the board until you can write a straight line of consistent text that doesn’t droop or curve down as it goes along.
I second the suggestion for calligraphy in a script you like.
Perhaps practice by trying to quickly write down song lyrics as you listen? I think that’s when I first started to improve.
Pay attention to your classmates who can take good notes quickly. I made a friend who found my writing to be glacially slow, so I watched how they wrote to learn some tricks.
Sorry if some of these won’t help until you’re in, but don’t worry about it too much. I’m sure your handwriting will be markedly improved by the end of even the first year.
p.s.
Write letters or postcards to friends.
Try to fit your favorite quotes on a notecard.
Love it. One example that springs to mind is calling out the NCAA.
“‘Student Ath-uh-letes’? Haha, that is brilliant, sir.”
So when it helps out with a recipe, we won’t get a suggestion specifically for Elmer’s, but rather the IUPAC name for superglue?
Gotcha. Thanks! Do the points P, E, Y, U, and F stand for something or are the letters arbitrary?
This really needs to be rescheduled for the winter, and/or pilgrims encouraged to travel by night. But then the AC tents might not sell as well.
Can a TI-84slinger explain this for us pipette-wielders?

TW: this entry can be hard to read.
Do you convert dead organic matter into fertile soil or pollinate flowers? They do. If insect populations were to vanish, so would humans. They perform too many vital functions that humans cannot.
To the depths of Jupiter, then.
