Hi /adv/,
Im a sophomore in college and i currently dont like the major im doing. ive completed aall but one of my geneds and some classes for my current major. However, i want to switch into mechanical engineering. i talked to an advisor today and she said there is basically no way for me to complete school in 4 years, so id basically be starting all over. Now normally id be okay with this-- my parents are paying my way along with me giving half of what i make during summers to them and using the other half to pay for laundry, phone bill, etc while im at school-- but ive never been strong in math. last semester i took a calc 1 course and failed, im assuming because i never went to office hours, asked questions, or went to the tutoring center. ive always been stubborn when it comes to asking for help because i dont want to look stupid, but i always screw myself over, especially with math. last year i took a precalc class at a different school and passed with a B and didnt really have to do much in the way of getting help, but last semester just made me feel fucking terrible. i really want to do this, but how do i get over my stubbornness im so stressed thinking about it and i want to have a job that will actually pay. pic unrelated
Asking for help doesn't make you stupid, not asking and failing makes you stupid.
bump?
