8 Thoughts You Have During Math Class If You Suck At Math
We Heart It

I’ve been a pretty average student my whole life. I had an average GPA in high school, and got the exact average on the SAT’s. I never could figure out why my high school GPA was only average, until I realized it had everything to do with math. I took honors English and AP History in high school, but sat in regular college prep math classes. I received A’s and B’s in my advanced classes, but struggled beyond belief to scrape by with a C in any type of math class I took. It’s not that I hated math, it’s that I absolutely loathed math. No matter how many times or ways you explained it to me, I didn’t get it. I took notes, did my homework, and studied the material, only to get a D on the test. Sitting through a math class, my thoughts ran wild with anger. If you’re anything like me, you’ve had these same thoughts too.

1. Wait, how did you get that?

Why do you have an answer? I don't even have a formula to get an answer.

2. Why does everyone understand this but me?

Seriously, why is everyone in here so smart? None of this makes sense.

3. I thought the professor said this was going to be easy...

EASY?! This looks like rocket science, this isn't easy! I'm officially the class idiot.

4. When am I EVER going to use this?

Oh, never you say? Good to know.

5. Why are there so many Greek letters? I thought math was about numbers.

What the heck is sigma, and why does a number represent a letter.

7. I'm going to fail.

You can cry once you get back to your room, just get through the last five minutes.

6. I'm never taking a math class again.

Why did I do this to myself?

8. I'm changing my major.

You can't pay me to take another math class ever again.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
