The 8 Emotions Of Math Haters
kariyer.gen.tr

There are two types of people in this world: those who enjoy math, and those who hate it with an intense, fiery passion. I am one who hates it with an intense, fiery passion (lucky me).This hatred dates back to the first grade when multiplication was a taxing post-lunch activity, and bar graphs were a terrifying homework task. The detestation only increased as time progressed and remains a nuisance in my life today.

If math isn't your strong suit, you have probably endured these emotions while attempting to understand the complexity that is Algebra.

1. Confusion

*looks at math test* *has no idea what it's asking*

2. Frustration

I hope my irritation doesn't reflect in my test.

3. Headaches


Hedaches, math gives me headaches.

4. Nervous sweat

Should have reapplied before I came to class.

5. Increased frustration

6. Hopelessness

When the going gets tough, flop on the floor.

7. Defeat

Math feels more like getting hit by a bus than solving an equation.

8. Celebrating when it's over

One day, you'll find out that you don't have to take any more math classes, and that will be one of the best days of your life. So hang in there, fellow math haters, your days of standard deviation and high blood pressure are almost over.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):

1. The wait for Buffalo Wild Wings is always going to be long on Thursday nights.

As hard as we try, it's nearly impossible to resist the 69-cent wings on a college student budget. Plus, they are always delicious!
