The Future is Weird

     As a part of my typical college routine, I am stressing about classes, which ones I need, which order I should take them, which professors are good, GPA, graduating, the dang GRE, and all that jazz.

     It almost makes me wish I had placed into Calculus during Freshman year and had just attended the college I am in instead of the one I started at (yes, I transferred).

     But, you know what? I'll tell ya what. If things hadn't have happened the way they did, I probably wouldn't be here. If I hadn't placed into College Algebra, perhaps I wouldn't have fell in love with math (thanks, college algebra professor). If I didn't go to the college I started at, maybe I wouldn't be at my current college. Maybe I wouldn't have the friends I have or had the experiences I've had or be who I am at all.

     Thinking about the future is difficult and scary, but the cool thing is that you never know where you're gonna be in the future. If someone would've told me 5 years ago that I was going to be a mathematics major, I would've laughed until I died. But here I am, a math major, enjoying every (painful and confusing) minute.

     So, remember my fellow college students, when you start stressing about the future and what are you gonna do with that $100,000 receipt called a "degree," remember that crazy exciting things are there, you just can't see it yet. Hence, don't stress friends, it'll all work out. :-)

The Purpose of Mathematics

Another great article by Larry Zimmerman on the Purpose of Mathematics can be found here.

*Special thanks to AiG for making me so happy with all of their great articles.

Grr...

So, I really hate it when I am struggling with a subject I am studying, like Linear Algebra, and then I stumble into something awesome that makes me like it and want to study even harder.

Why do these things happen to me. Darn it.
