Reasons Not to Take Math in College

1. The professor will undoubtedly use a different mathematical vocabulary than whatever you spent the past 18 years of your life learning.

2. Your homework will be graded for accuracy for the first time in seven years.

3. You will be expected to remember obscure trig identities you learned in one day in pre-calc and forgot by the next day.

4. You will be told that calculators are evil and that a complicated software package that takes five minutes to load on your computer and uses computer programming syntax you have never learned is a gift from God.

5. You will be treated as a math person. "So maybe for the exam tomorrow we should just meet in Caterpillar." Insert nods from everyone else in the room. HELLO, NOT MATH OR SCIENCE PERSON, AVOID THIS BUILDING LIKE THE PLAGUE EXCEPT FOR GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS, HELP ME.

6. You will be compelled, after each class, to lock yourself in a practice room for hours to remind yourself that beauty still exists in the world and that you are actually good at something. Or rather, you will tell yourself this, but really you will just be procrastinating on math homework.

Really, math is such a y'''.
