My recommendation: get a calculator
First on the list.
And if you legit have mental health concerns, make sure a psych appointment is second on your list.
I imagine you don't want untreated depression or ADHD or something kicking you in the back of the head while you're trying to center a latex table
Don’t over think it, it’s just classes and flexing your math noodle consistently. Pro tip for masters work, make a schedule and treat it as a job. Undergrad you can easily get away with “eh I can cram before the test”. Not in masters and above. With the schedule though it’s extremely important you schedule days off, burning out is hell and extremely hard to overcome. I suggest weekends so it really is a job like schedule. Utilize your schools school psychologist/psychiatrist, it’s free (usually) and helpful (usually). Good luck and remember to have life as a priority too!
I’ll definitely try to have off days! I’m a full-time high school math teacher right now, so I don’t have a lot of free time to begin with. But all the more reason to have a schedule then!
Excellent advice. Treat it like a job. Switch off on the weekends. Be on time on Monday morning.
I'm starting BCA soon, any tips for me?
Don’t be afraid to admit when you’re struggling, everyone struggles at some point in college. Most colleges have free tutors, I always signed up for that even if the class easy, it helps solidify ideas and if it’s an easy A it just makes it that much easier. Remember to take care of yourself, food, social life, girlfriend/boyfriend, shower. Please remember to shower, my schools BCA grads would never shower and got a real bad rep lmao. If you’ve never worked out before consider using your schools most likely free gym, those gyms are super well equipped and it’s very helpful for mental health. The freshmen 15 is very real and you will gain weight if you don’t either workout or watch what you eat. I did about 4-5 days a week of 1 hour workout and that’s was very manageable. Join clubs, join intramural sports they are SUPER fun and even if you have never done sports you’ll love it.
Pro tip for resume building is to join a lab in undergrad, all professors will have a lab so if you vibe with a professor and their research, join it. It’s easy experience and even entry level these days look for some experience. Take the first semester to get used to college before doing any of this, you’ll have a lot of time, but don’t overwhelm yourself. And if you don’t want to do any of this that’s okay too, but at the very least join clubs and try to make friends, friends make college the best time. Enjoy the process and don’t be afraid to ask for help!
I quit 3 years into a math phd last year. The math was never the hard part. Make friends and follow your interests and you'll be fine. You'll be surprised at how doable it is once you get started.
How I got thru the last 30 years as an Engineer. Add a bottle of Makers
Every paper I write should have Makers Mark as a co-author...
This is me too. I'm in my late 30's, working a full time job in a bank while completing a full time degree, trying to maintain my top-of-my-class-grade while also trying to keep the rest of my life from falling apart, and genuinely thinking - I'm going to do my masters at the top university in my country because fuck it, why not.
In words that echo through time immemorial:
Fuck it, we ball.
Nothing great was ever accomplished without risk. I am certain that if you made it through the rest of your college career you will do great in this part to!
