How do I remove the idea from my head that I'm bad at math? I'm going into college in fall and I'll be studying computer science but all during high school I did very bad in math because I didn't pay attention in class, faked my homework, and never studied once. The thing is, I'm actually good at math when I put my mind to it but I always have this thought in the back of my mind that I'm stupid when it comes to mathematical stuff.
You'll have to take a placement exam and it will put you in the exact right math for you; colleges are smart like that

Math isn't a thing
What a thing is recollection
Remembering formulae is the name of the game
Since you managed to graduate highschool, we must assume that you memorized the entire multiplication table.
Math is no different.
You did it once, you can do it again
Hit the books hard, my friend.

Call it laziness, ADHD, or whatever but this is hard for me. I'm trying to change that though.

Try to look up professor reviews beforehand (idk what it is about math but often hard to understand professors seem to teach math, ie causes a language barrier).
Read the assigned text and keep up with the problems. If you are having trouble with any of it, look into tutoring sessions (most schools also have a tutoring center) or form a study group with peers if youre a more social individual. Many classes also have supplemental instruction where a teaching assistant answers questions/goes over problems, so that can also be helpful.
Worst case scenario, you can just google the type of problem and chances are someone on youtube or khan academy has made a video on it.
