Maths might have my soul someday. Summer has begun here in my home city of Pune, India. I see the beautiful sunny days pass me by in the library as I put my head down and grind on the hellscape that is partial differential equations. Then I fail at the tests regardless.

On the bright side, at least I'm failing at the most difficult major my university has to offer. I'm failing at something worthy. It becomes fun after some practice, honestly. There's worse things to be bad at.

I got laid off from my job because there was an upper management decision to let go of the most recent hires from each team and area.

Sucks to be jobless at 30, having chronic health issues and in the process of moving places.

Idk why I’m telling this, hoping in a year to look back and say “well it got better” or maybe this post reaching someone going through the same and seeing how common is for CEOs to be greedy assholes with no humanity? ~~Luigi my goat~~

That’s it. Being in STEM sucks these days: investigation is defunded in my country, teachers are earning between 100 -500 usd a month that doesnt hold a living here… and if you are in the applied or industry side like me, layoffs and instability are becoming more common day by day.

Please help me mathblr :,)

I’ll be starting my degree in applied maths and computation in less than a month. Apparently, in my college, Linear Algebra and Integral and Differential Calculus are two of the hardest courses (I am unsure if it’s because of the complexity of the subjects or the lack of care by the teachers, although I’m willing to bet it’s both). Does anyone have any resources (Books, YouTube channels, online lectures, etc.) that could help me out? I’d really appreciate it!!

Content related to other subjects are also welcome, along with general advice about pursuing a (math) degree!!

Im terrified to start uni, can you tell?? Also excited tho
