College has changed me irrevocably. Or perhaps it helped me realized who I truly was all these years. A depressive, neurotic social outcast.

I'm asking before I may have to take them if I change my program and I did mediocre in Cal II.

>mfw dropped out due to social anxiety and depression

>>35164252
I wouldn't say it's abstract but it is a little bit different than what you're used to. In calc 3 You start doing math in 3 dimensions and if you don't have a good visual understanding of what's going on you're going to get fucked.

As far as statics goes that relies heavily on what you learned in physics class, which I was mediocre in. If you don't have a complete mastery of fundamental trigonometry you're fucked.

>>35164353
Oh boy, this is gonna be a ride.

When you say physics, is it classical mechanics, light and wave or electricity and magnetism?

>>35164634

anon, there are reasons to not attend lecture, yours is not very smart

>>35164401
As far as physics go you need to have a very firm understanding of vectors in 3 dimensions. You don't need the concepts you learned per say, more like the techniques used to reach an answer. They are very similar.

Calculus 2 will come back to bite you in the ass a lot, so remember what you learn in it (integration techniques like by parts/partial fractions/trig substitution)

But the most important that is that with these higher tier problems is that you can no longer cram nights before the exam, you have to grind problem after problem in order to build up pattern recognition that allows you to see how to solve problems that would otherwise have no intuitive solutions. It's terrible, because you can't just memorize how the system works and apply it. You can't simply study and get a good grade. You actually have to do problems, over and over again, if you want to be able to even answer normal problems, let alone test problems. I am still struggling with this.

Currently on an ADD medication binge for midterms. I am extremely efficient and productive now but damn I really should have just managed my time better. It's 3 am and I'm getting up at 6 to study for my morning test, and pretty much for the next two days I'll be buried in schoolwork and popping pills

>>35164634

Do you still have a chance to pass?

>>35164751
I see, I guess it's time for problem crunching then. I might need revisit cal I and cal II otherwise I won't stand a chance.

Your reply is very much appreciated anon, thank you.

My GPA is like 2.75. It's mainly math classes that I suck at. I failed Calc 1 2 times, and passed the third time. I dropped out of Calc 2, and I'm probably going to drop out of my proofs course. I have absolute shit focus and concentration.

I'm fine with college. I'm fine with work. But I am not fine with both. I'm just tired. I get home from school for an hour or so until I have to go to work, which I spend getting ready, eating lunch and whatnot, and when I get home from work I just feel tired and have no motivation to do schoolwork. Even if I had the courage and social skill to join any clubs I couldn't go to practically any meetings because I need to be at work. I'm working, going to school, and driving to and from these for generally 12 hours a day and then I need to invest at least an extra hour or two to work on shit. I'm not failing anything right now, per some miracle, but I am not doing well and I keep putting things off and do them at the last second and suffer as a result.

At least I didn't have to go to court during my first math test setting me back during the entire semester this time around. No, this semester my grandpa died. I said that I'd play my guitar for him sometime, had to go and procrastinate that too.

Yes. I'm a fucking gook.
White can NEVER be robots. At least Asian women see you as potential partners no matter how ugly you guys look. For us, if we are uglier than the average Asian guy, it's over. We have absolutely no chance in ever getting a partner. That's why I can only hope to get a loveless partner after my money once I become a doctor.

Exam in 2 days. 20 credits, so something like a fifth of entire degree. Can't get motivated enough to study. My partner got an A in the course already and he a total Chad. Good looking, smart, assertive, motivated. It's so unfair.
Years ago, I would get panicked and start studying weeks before the exam. But now I can't do it anymore.

In university you get to really focus on your personal development. I'm not trying to bullshit anyone here. What I'm saying is you have the most time you will ever have, probably in your entire life, to focus on developing yourself as a person and setting up your future.

Maybe that means you focus entirely on your academics. That's what I did. (It got me a job with growth potential.)

Basically you are being afforded the "luxury" of freedom for the first time in your life. You have been given, really, an absurd amount of time to prepare. It's up to you not to completely fuck this up.

Pass your classes people, you seriously owe it to yourself. The real world is fucking brutal. People are starving out there. Even in wealthy first world countries people are scraping by. The vast majority of people who you think are "doing well" are working really fucking hard to make that happen. 60 or 80 hours per week. That's real life.

A good exercise is to imagine what you are going to do after you graduate or if you fail to graduate. How are you going to pay the bills and feed yourself? Look up how much an apartment costs in a place you are actually going to be able to find employment.

Life is fucking hard and it's pure hubris to think otherwise.

Technically, you're paying money for the diploma. Most professors are awful when it comes to teaching. You're better off teaching yourself the material on your own using shit like Khan academy or online resources like test banks from other unis and then going to office hours for questions you dont understand.

>>35165654
>I dont attend class for 6 weeks because people stare at me

After two weeks you should be telling yourself "if I dont get this shit together ASAP im gonna fall off a cliff".

There is no excuse here. If you cant deal with random people who you dont even have to interact with or even look at, how the fuck will you ever work a job, or finish your degree, or live your life?

>>35165524
was on the same boat

feels weird but make some class friends, in my uni the same one's from calc 1 moved to calc 2 in the same groups and since calc was part of phys, they were there two.

if you didn't make friends or groups in calc 1 you're still not that fucked. you just have to prove you're willing to learn and not just leech off of them and they'll help you.

bonus if once you start to understand the subject and they need help, you can start reciprocating their helpfulness

Go see a shrink. Tell them your anxiety problems and have them give you meds. Not that hard m8 you'll be fine.

>>35165754
you overestimate the positive effects of anxiety meds and you underestimate the negatives, if you're not trolling, you should know that alot of times, both anxiety and depression meds either make you a dull soulless robot or make your problem even worse

>>35165731
You know, I always thought the pathetic nature of this board was a sort of joke, its maybe my third time posting here.

It was me who learned something today. Im actually glad I dont belong here.

>>35165737
Actually, I did make a few friends so far in my courses. A few solid guys I can talk to for study sessions. I still feel that Im not learning the material fast enough though. Math is my biggest worry followed by Physics.

Your story is a lot like mine. I went from a UC (santa barbara) to CC and I've yet to leave CC for a wageslave job. Luckily for me my parents are helpful and supportive of me going to a CC and transferring to an engineering program and pay my room rent while I focus in school

You'll have to put in the effort to relieving your anxiety through therapy. Most robots wants the easy way out and choose to abuse meds but as you've mentioned that'll just neuter your brain.

Honestly speaking you should probably avoid a shrink. If you think you're responsible enough to handle it, try doing weed to relax you.

I'm just trying to "shock some reality" into people because it's so easy to get lost in a bubble when you're in that age where you're not really responsible for yourself.

Life is difficult people. Brass and tacks. Come up with a budget. You will need to be able to pay for an apartment, food, health insurance, your car (and fuel), college loans. It's 2017, you need a mobile plan and Internet. Maybe a kid (talk about being fucked.) Finding employment isn't possible everywhere, and the cities with possibility are usually expensive.

It's hubris to think these things come easily. You have to work. You might have to work really fucking hard, for years.

Basically what I advise people in college or university is to really focus, pass your classes (at the bare minimum.) Otherwise you are setting yourself up for a world of pain.

Do yourself a favor.

>>35165794
take advantage of your profs office hours and ask prof you're having a bit of trouble with some key elements of the ch and if he could put it in simpler words. again, show prof that you're really trying and prof may give you some tips

stewart, young & freedman are literally the worst books they can give you, literally stay away from them. wiki is probs wayyy better at teaching you calc 1-4 and fund phys

fuck, started as 3.2 first sem at csula and left last quarter (before sem) with 1.9

PCC was literally the worst decision

i get these urges to go back to either though, just so i could "fit in"

had this old lady tell me today if i was going to school and i said "just one class" to pretend and she's like "go to medical field. my daughter majored in some medical field and now works at kaiser for ~150k/y first year"

>>35165905
It's a good relaxant and a natural pain killer. But if you can't tolerate it then oh well. Go see a shrink and ask to take behavioral therapy or something.

Try meditation. None of that yoga buddha ommmm shit but just simple focused breathing exercises. I use an app called Headspace and spend 10 minutes every night or during stressful times to meditate and relax and it really helps me.

You should go back to a CC but only when you feel you're ready and want to do something beyond what you're currently doing. It's hard and boring work but eventually you can graduate and move on from academia.

Are you living home? Because I'm away from home and the extreme isolation almost killed me.

ucsc bot from last thread wya

I have an exam on wednesday that I am completely unprepared for and I'm so fucked. It's 20% of my grade and I know nothing

I thought I'd be okay cause I thought it was multiple choice but then I asked the professor and he said it was mostly short answer. I am utterly utterly fucked

I want to study but I know so little I don't even know where to start

>You don't need the concepts you learned per say, more like the techniques used to reach an answer.

Bullshit dude. You need to understand concepts as much as you need to understand math.

If you have a fucking ball with a uniform charge but one half of ball has a epsilon permitivity (has a electric susceptibility) and other epsilon_0, you have to know how to set an equation to calculate E-field inside and outside.

In this example you have to set that permitivity changes with an angle and you to set an Guassian to find E-field.

Most of people would take 2 hemispheres and integrate from 0 to pi/2 from each side which is wrong because superposition does not apply in this case because of the electric displacement among to hemispheres

Can someone post some anti STEM autism memes?
I need some for my collection. Preferably ones showing LAS students in a positive light while exposing STEMcucks as the depressed autists that they are
