me: ill do a math minor. fine
me now that i have to register for classes: all of these sound hard. what the fuck
im used to having my hellpath laid out for me. i had to take up to calc 2 so i could clear the artificial difficulty bar for cs. i had to take linear algebra also for cs and i guess so i would know that a vector space is type of jewel that tastes like a salad. i had to take calc 3 in case it helped me get into cornell (it didnt). now the hellpath is mine to create and im like. i sure do hate math actually
like do i *really* want to take diff eq and have to remember what i did in calc 3, i barely knew what i was doing in calc 3 during calc 3. i could take something that's not diff eq but what if it expects me to be an actual Math Knower and not someone who got a d in hs algebra 2 and then cried through a cc math degree 15 years later (wtf btw). like idk if i want to experience the mental effects of being Bad At Math again

@kirakira I did not have a good time with math classes until upper division, and even then I only enjoyed half of them. Somehow I got a whole degree in math. I don’t recommend it if you aren’t looking at the course catalog excitedly wondering how to pick one because they all look too interesting.

Diff Eq requires immense patience and a reason for caring about it for it to not feel like torture, in my tragic experience. It could be good if you love physics or engineering!
