High five! Literature major here (which is basically the same thing). Go, Team Liberal Arts!
Click to expand...
I wanted to go to school specifically for Literature and then I learned...it doesn't offer the greatest net of possible jobs. So now I'm backing that up with a minor in Early Childhood Education courses for my teaching requirements. (which means so much more lovely math, but it's a field I'm really interested in and already three years into, so I've become dedicated to it)
 
I'm doing Sports Management as my major, but I'm really looking now to be a statistician for a sports team.

So yeah, I could do pretty much anything in the sports field, if being a statistician doesn't pan out.
 
I like the calc I'm taking now actually because it's for Business majors so they give you real world instances, like "Annie needs to borrow some money but she can't pay back more than 900 dollars a month. The interest rate is 5% and she plans to have it all paid back in 30 years. How much can she borrow?" That's the kind of stuff that I just had on my exam, and it's a little tougher than just straight math, but it's really grounding and I like that.

Edit: IT WOULDN'T BE SO WEIRD IF DRAKOW TOLD ME HIS NAME DJKSLFJDFAKLJ
 
I didn't know tourettes had such a dark, mean side
 
I'm the meanest of the mean. Just look at my avatar. The personification of mean.

LOL OR IF YOU'D JUST SAY YOSHI!!! XD ilu nonetheless

But yes we have that stuff too and I don't like it tbh, I like calculating more than figuring out what they want from me in those kind of stories hahah.

God those questions are so boring. But when I did my exam, my calculator died. idk how but just minutes before the test started, it wouldn't turn on. Even changing the batteries didn't do anything. I was freaking out. lmao

I don't think you're allowed to say "I don't see the relevance in straight math" and then say the ones with relevance are boring, haha. Also I like that because it's a real world application! Even though I'm not great at those compared to just straight calculations.
 
Okay lol Since I was studying Maths today here are some applications I have to solve today.

"XYZ invested 8000 in a business. She would be paid interest at 5% per annum compounded annually. Find the amount credited against her name at the end of the second year.

I thought it would be good if I ever decided to go to grad school (probably never gonna happen), but mostly I did it because I liked it and I needed to study something I enjoyed or I might not have finished school. It's better to have a degree in something not very useful than no degree at all.
 
Apparently at one time I liked math so much I decided to get a bachelor's degree in it. And create a Pokemon OC trainer completely obsessed with the subject.

I still enjoy math, just more in moderation nowadays lol
 
I'm writing my second-last math exam tomorrow, after that there will only be the final one in April or May. It's going to be horrible, I have absolutely no knowledge at all anymore about the older of the two topics we're going to write about.
 
Hmm....let's see...math. Math isn't my best subject in school, but I am getting better at math. I remember how terrible I used to be at math when I was in the second grade, but I got the hang of it after elementary school.

My favorite subject in school is art.
 
I don't think there was a subject I outright hated in school... though I wasn't too fond of PE if that counts :P

Though to be fair I stopped taking art and music in 9th grade (the soonest I could opt out of them) and instead started taking more "technology" courses like computer science and technical drawing and drafting. I didn't like the fact that most of what we did in music class was obscure crap from the 1800's and we had too many projects in art class that kept me from drawing what I would have been interested in drawing. Didn't care for some of the literature we read in English class, either.
 
you guys in the northern hemisphere are lucky you can opt out and/or choose some of your classes

here in brazil we have a "national curriculum" to follow and there's really no escape from anything, no matter what kind of university you're going or whether you think geography is useful or not -- you're learning all of it anywhere in the country
