My man. I love math.
One of my most fondest memories growing up was walking into my Geometry class in the 8th grade and it was only like 7/8 of us. School even had to get a high-school teacher for us. Class was a little before 7 in the morning since the teacher had to leave before 8 for her high school classes.

This shit got me through first year chem courses because one of my professors would make slides where the chemical equations went off of the powerpoint and he was too incompetent to fix it.
Oh, and he had an indian accent so strong that even I couldn't understand.
The universal language!

i got 70 on my org chem midterm.
went into the course like channing tatum in jump street too. "what's a co-vah-lent bond?". it's hard as shit but you just have to memorize, memorize, memorize.
i'm probably gonna end up with C+/B-

introductory. there's nothing i really need help understanding. it's just being able to retain all of it is the problem.
thanks for the offer though.

I was all like this til 400 level analysis/and then topology. was the first time I ran into a subject in math I just could not wrap my head around, no matter how many hours I spent studying and putting time in on the hwk. Was like, with anything in calc, stat, basic number theory, linear/modern algebra I could look at a problem and even if I didn't know the answer I'd have at least some idea of how to approach the thing, what the crux of the problem was and what I was supposed to be using to solve it. Analysis it felt like I could stare at a problem for 3 hours and come up with nothing while others would take one look and be "oh obviously you do all this crazy shit until this looks like this" And from there I felt like it was just useless. by second semester, not having gotten anything in the entire previous semester, I was just internet crowd sourcing sub-problems or comparison problems to figure out these magic solutions to shit that was a mile over my head
O chem sucks but lab was fun as fuck. I enjoyed that one. We synthesized some aromatic compounds, banana and mint scents. Smelled nice, but....these girls in my lab start rubbing the banana scent on themselves like "ohh, smells so good!". Everyone is like WTF
rub poorly made undergrad racemic mixtures all over yourselves brehs
give yourselves cancer brehs

Was it as bad as dissecting a piglet? I had to do that in freshman year because I was the only one with the heart to do it.
Couldn't eat pork for like 2 months
I mean, it involves that, it's just....worse

labs are fun except when your partner doesn't want to be proactive
but even that has its advantages aka you order them around and at least they listen

classical (mechanical) physics is woat man
why the fuck do i care about the angle of a ball on an incline
quantum physics is incredibly interesting though

Stats and accounting are both easy. I'm taking calc, again so yeah. Although i had an A on my first exam, so I'm hoping to continue the streak
history is tight, how can you dislike history? unless it's taught boring as fuck like rote learning

Upper Div History was cool. I took a few courses, and that got super interesting. But unless you're in those higher levels it's not that enjoyable (cause it's mostly taking Survey Courses), unless you're not into that stuff.
I was and I still sorta hated it.
Stats is easy as fuck, so long as you didn't sleep through algebra. I took several psych-specific stats courses, but they're essentially the same concepts.
My working theory is that anyone in post-secondary that isn't good with math didn't have a good time with algebra for whatever reason. Shit is a life skill.

i just cant give a fuck about shit that already happened, why would i want to learn about wars and shit
in one of my prereq's the history professor spent the first lecture telling us why we need to learn history. that about says it all to me.
re: stat. yall must have some easy classes or something. its like the one class i struggled w/ in college and im really good at math. takes like 30 minutes to do one problem
I like them. Especially since I personally have trouble speaking in front of groups. The intro speech class actually helped out a bit.
