You can always drop out a few classes.

It's better for your GPA than failing or getting a C or D in it.

Although if you do so you'll end up graduating later.

For CS literally just get shit grades, focus hard on extracurriculars (maybe try to make an app, data analysis research position, etc.), and then just dont include your gpa on your resume

Whatever you do, don't give up. Try the best you can and no matter what happens, it's okay.

Don't worry too much about having bad grades and hating school. You are becoming part of the true elite.

Agree, but it's all because of one dickbag professor who gives daily quizzes and takes off points if you don't participate at least 6 times per class. Can't wait to fill out the evaluation

I will anon, thanks. I fucked myself over getting carried away by math and taking differential geometry along with calculus of variations which I managed to get B-s in so I'll stick with physics next semester.

Same, Zoom classes are not my favorite and I tend to oversleep. It doesn't help that I'm forced to work in a 10 x 10 bedroom for 9-12 hours a day with no friends to talk to.
Just focus on improving what you can, don't be afraid to let some things fall by the wayside while you get back up to speed.
Obviously don't fuck yourself over, but it's a long semester and you probably still have time if you start now.

Does anyone have any advice for a math brainlet? I've been spending a lot of time working on homework and studying but my Professor just moves too fast. I'm the same dude who posted a bit ago about calc but I just had a recitation that left me feeling hopeless, we have no proper tutoring this semester either

I'm definitely willing to do what I gotta do to overcome it, not that I have much choice in the matter as my degree requires it. Do you guys have any recommendations for getting better? Kind of a stupid question but I don't wanna just Mathway my way through it, I want to do a good job. I've spent a lot of time doing homework and studying, as well as practice questions. I just seem to be moving really slowly in comparison to the class itself and I don't wanna get too far behind.

>I just seem to be moving really slowly in comparison to the class itself
This is normal in STEM in general. Class always zoom by the material because they want to test you on a lot of subjects.
>Do you guys have any recommendations for getting better?
Other than the stuff you're already doing? Not much desu. Some people grind until they have a better understanding, you can use symbolab and wolframalpha instead of Mathway, both gives you steps on how to survive the problem and wolframalpha also gives you a visual aid. There could also be the possibility that your professor is ass, in which you should reference Professor Leonard on youtube or your calculus textbook (I'd reccomend Stewarts because it's super basic with a lot of examples without getting into complicated stuff)

I was shit at math until 11th grade, I don't really know what happened other than the fact that I started watching a lot of numberphile videos, then everything just started to fall into place. I would recommend talking to other people in your class about the problems and phrasing your notes like you're trying to explain the concepts to someone dumber than you.

look up specific problems/sections on youtube. often there are other teachers/tutors/students that have solved your problem in a way that you'll probably understand better.

Well you clearly hate it or find it boring. No worries. Just accept you don't care, get a normal job. Deep down you only want money to stimulate yourself with your usual hobbies/interests, drink, smoke, go out.

Fuck loads of money, being a wage slave is underrated.

Science is made up fantasy. Life is boring. 90% of jobs are useless to the world.

I'll definitely look into professor Leonard. My professor isn't really the best, she moves really fast and kinda breezes through things which sucks but what can ya do I guess. I guess I'll just keep going and hope for the best, thanks for the advice guys.
