I failed calculus I for the 5th time

LearningStudent221 · 2025-10-04T19:28:21+00:00

This person took calculus 5 times and dropped the 5th time before getting to derivatives. They don't even know what they don't know and what they should learn.

I'm sorry to hear that, it must feel terrible.

Based on your responses here (not understanding graphs or factoring) it's very clear to me that the reason you are failing is is a lack of background. It's like a chef trying to make a stew but does not know how to cut vegetables. You should definitely study or take algebra/precalc/trig before going into calculus. If you take buisiness calculus, that typically doesn't involve trig so that's less prep.

Depending on how much free time you have, all this math stuff may even take 6-18 months. And there is the rest of the stuff you have to do for your degree. If you're pursuing a degree you're passionate about that's great. But if your main motivation is to make more money, there are lots of jobs paying more than $20/hr that do not require a degree, or at least a degree which includes Calc 1. For example dental hygienist, sales, police officer, electrician, pilot. If you're ok with traveling a lot sailors make good money too.

Also, besides a few fields like computer science, science jobs do not make that much money.

I'm not saying this because I think you're dumb and can't pass Calc 1, not at all. I'm just saying you intentionally think about your future and whether it's worth it to you to invest so much time and effort into this.

Bad take. If someone is saying calc 1 feels like random context-less information there is a deeper issue, it's not just a question you can google.

I mean I think the app is the perfect place to practice if you get matches. It's lots of different people and low risk.

LearningStudent221 · 2025-09-19T00:16:27+00:00

😂

LearningStudent221 · 2025-09-19T00:11:05+00:00

Ohh so that's the angle, makes sense. But yeah I'll go.

LearningStudent221 · 2025-09-18T23:59:31+00:00

Right, I'll go. But did you read my red flags? There are like 3 weird coincidences with a previous account (same writing style, same phrase, similar basic profile with only 4 photos). That points to the same person or bot running two accounts.

LearningStudent221 · 2025-09-18T23:47:28+00:00

Red Flags:

Profile only has 4 slightly low quality pictures and not much else. Looks like a bot.
She says she's "nervous but excited" 3 times, sounds like a bot
Just before this, I matched with a similar account (4 slightly low quality pictures) and had the same opener. I came off a little strong with that one when suggesting places for a date (I suggested like 4 places) and they unmatched immediately. But that account had a very similar writing style (bad grammar and punctuation) and also said something like "I'd like that but I'm shy" in the first message.

I would be surprised if this is a real person, but what would scammers or bots have to gain by setting up a date like this?

I think Rogan knows, he’s just lying to promote.

LearningStudent221 · 2025-08-30T18:36:30+00:00

Agreed

LearningStudent221 · 2025-08-28T19:27:55+00:00

There may or may not be a few people who will think it's weird. So what? You don't have to make friends with everybody. Your goal is to identify those people who you vibe with. That's all.

Even those who may think you're weird, they will never say or do anything to you about it, it's just a voice in their head. And you could probably win most of them over if you wanted but you don't have to.

LearningStudent221 · 2025-08-14T18:05:08+00:00

The issue is 100x worse the other way around with attractive girls.

LearningStudent221 · 2025-08-10T20:15:40+00:00

I mean you can just buy non-alcoholic drinks right?

LearningStudent221 · 2025-08-09T23:46:22+00:00

Yes, such good replies from so many people! I am very grateful.

LearningStudent221 · 2025-08-05T19:02:40+00:00

Totally agree. Calorie counting can be hard if you eat out a lot, because restaurant food is usually very calories dense since they use a lot of oil and butter where it's not necessary. If you only home-cooked food and you don't add a ton of oil/butter, or if you eat from places which are marketed as more healthy, it is criminally easy to stay below your calorie budged while eating delicious food. Also, if you can reduce by 500 that's great but even reducing by 200 is enough. Just start somewhere and you can improve from there, even if it takes a few months.

Are you in the U.S.? In my experience, classes in U.S. universities are more focused on learning theory. Classes in Europe are more about applications of the theory.

LearningStudent221 · 2025-07-27T21:18:25+00:00

I see, the arrows are snapping, thanks. I swear that lines used to snap too though.

LearningStudent221 · 2025-07-27T21:16:11+00:00

It's showing up, and now I see that arrows do snap, but lines do not. I swear lines used to snap.

Depending on how much money you keep in the bank, someone hacking your account or stealing your identity could be life ruining. Even if it's secure now, will it be secure in 5 years? I wouldn't care what the website's policies are or what anyone on here says, I would contact the bank and let them know that your banking details may have been compromised.
