WHOOOP I HATE MY ANATOMY FOR MANY REASONS but THIS IS ONE OF THEM
I FEEL SO HARD
If I get a 50 on the test like I’m estimating I would (hoping for a 68 but I’ve literally never scored this low on a test in my entire life) I would have to get 100s on all the homework and 98s on all the future tests to get an A. I’m so fucked

Basics of Trig Overhaul
Ok quick backstory and then I’ll talk about the future posts:
I’ve always been super good at math, it’s my 2nd best subject (chemistry being my best subject)
I started taking trig this semester and the teacher is AWFUL. Goes to fast, doesn’t answer questions well, and assumes you already know exactly what he’s teaching. He never offered alternative ways to solve a problem like most teachers do, he just assumed that what worked for him would work for the class.When I do the homework, the assignments look like they’re written in a different language. I just wasn’t getting it.
I starting watching hours of poorly made videos, tried Khan academy, read articles, the whole shabang. They were teaching it the EXACT same way as him, and would usually say something along the lines of “there is a different way you can do this problem, but we’re not going to touch on that” which was so frustrating. I’ve never felt so dumb in a STEM class.
Last night I FINALLY found some videos that weren’t just “memorize the unit circle”, but actually showed you how to solve each part. I don’t learn well by memory, I need to logic of it to understand. So it was all starting to click and I was getting it when my sister came into my room crying. She had gotten a 45% on her chemistry test and her make up was tomorrow (why she didn’t come to me sooner I’ll never know). She expected me to drop everything and help her since I’m a chem major, and I did because I wanted to help her, but by the time we finished that night and the next morning I had about an hour to study for weeks of material. Needless to say I knew I was totally f*cked.
I cried on the drive, trying to study at stoplight, cried during the test, and cried in the bathroom, KNOWING my grade is going to be awful.
Part of me feels like I must not have studied enough, and that’s probably a factor, but another big issue was WHAT I was studying. All the topics were taught in one way, like I said before, and it took my days to finally stumble across an alternative.
To wrap this up, I don’t EVER want another student to go through the emotional stress that I did, and waste hours of studying just for no payoff. So, I’ve decided to start my own series of trig subject the way I learn best incase others might benefit. I know I sound like a hypocrite only teaching it one way, but for every 100 videos, only 1 of them is an alternative way. So I’m going to try to get more options out there.
Sorry for the spelling errors/messiness of this post, I’m still having the mental breakdown in the bathroom that I talked about earlier
TLDR:
I’m starting a trig study series because my professors and teacher on the internet suck balls
Clear your desk. Tie up your hair. Get your coffee. Sit down, and start. Just start.
Honestly NYU has been my dream school since forever, if I don’t get in I’m going to be devastated, but it’s so so so competitive I’m scared that I won’t. I’m trying so hard not to get my hopes up but it’s a little too late for that
