T- Thymine (Thy- Thyroid Glan- Mine- It's Mine!)
A- Adenine (Ade- Girl @ school's name is similar- Nine- 9)
G- Guanine (Gua- Guava Fruit- Nine- 9)
C- Cytosine (Cyt- Cytoplasam- Sine- Like maths Sine, Cos, Tan)

I remember A and T go togther because the letters have straight sides, and C and G go together because they are curved letters.
