This is something that I have really been frustrated about lately. I am taking an online math class, I spend probably over five hours weekly in this class.

The part that is annoying is that I spend all this time and I'm currently failing the class. Now, don't say that I'm not trying. I do my homework, read the readings, I even watch all of the lectures four times on repeat and then probably sixteen times after that.

My mind doesn't allow any brain space for math. Not even basic math, such as 2+2 makes sense in my mind. But that's okay!

So why do I have such a hatred for this particular subject? Math doesn't allow any freedom. You have to do one thing this one way and that is how it is and there's no changing it. When you write a paper there's room to show who you are and what you are like. Math is all about the end answer, not how you got there or if you knew what you were trying to do. There's no room for creativity, just the one way you solve the problems.

The biggest reason why I hate math is that it's frustrating. I can't count the number of times that I have just sat and cried because I didn't understand what I was doing in math. I can honestly say that I have never cried out of frustration for any other class.

I shouldn't have to struggle and get frustrated in a class that literally does not matter to my future career. I shouldn't have to pay a lot of money for a class that I will never use again. Math sucks and that's just how it is.
