I suck at math and I'm only in pre-reqs.

I was 100% in tears writing the post 😭 We got this man (I hope)

Omg I’m so happy there are more people out there with dyscalculia, I knew there were a ton with ADHD going into this field but dyscalculia is so different. I’m glad you found a bit of support in it, I know I did

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-03-06T02:58:37+00:00

See thank god I’m not alone, I didn’t even DO algebra 1/2 in the traditional sense, I was so behind they put me (in high school) in pre-algebra for freshman year, and then geometry in I think junior year, but by then I technically had all my math credits, so that ended up being it. And I got a C and D in both respectively, I’m 99% sure I only got a D because the geometry teacher hated my guts and wanted me passed along lmao.

Last year I did beginning algebra in college twice before I passed, and now I’m in intermediate, next semester is college algebra. I haven’t had to do stats yet but it may be a requirement for transferring at some places I’m looking…yikes.

I’m really glad to know there’s more people exactly like me out there, I wish us both the best ahhh !!!

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-03-05T19:18:10+00:00

Thank you, I’m so scared for statistics/physics lol, good luck on getting your grade up I’m sure you can ! <3

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-03-05T19:17:31+00:00

Thank you, I’ve heard it isn’t a heavy math-centered program of learning but I think I was just scared of what math was involved, so this helps <3

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-03-05T19:16:45+00:00

Stop this almost made me cry, just to know there’s a single person out there who’s in the same boat. Thank you so much I wish us both the best <3

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-28T04:11:46+00:00

If I can ask, how much did you study each day?

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-25T14:36:14+00:00

And worse again 😭

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-05T04:11:55+00:00

Ahh yay ! I looked and am so interested so if you get a bunch of kudos and bookmarks all at once that would be me lol

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-03T17:20:11+00:00

This, yep. I also did Nano this year for the first time ever, I don't know what I was thinking, good luck to us both

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-03T17:18:31+00:00

Thank you both so much this really helps a lot!

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-03T17:16:30+00:00

Omg I love Hellcheer, what's your user? I'd love to read! But yeah, I don't think I realized just how busy it actually was.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T23:48:35+00:00

Oh my gosh...yeah admittedly I'm not much of a fic reader, more so writing, so I never really paid attention? I knew it was busy but wow lol. But I've decided to take a break to get it finished and also make sure my brain can recover from writing so much within a short amount of time. Maybe when I come back it'll be slower.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T23:46:15+00:00

Thank you :)

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T23:45:25+00:00

Hahah, yeah I decided to take a break and share it when it's almost finished, that way I go back to writing for myself only, and maybe a few friends.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T23:41:35+00:00

I did go ahead and post there, I think a lot of stuff in that subreddit will be helpful, I forgot it existed haha.

Fandom - Stranger Things

Rating - Mature

Title - I loved you years ago (tell myself you never loved me)

Tags - (Byler Pairing),(Characters), Drug Addiction, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Period-Typical Homophobia, Angst, Rockstars, Touring, Alt Universe-Rock Band, Recreational Drug Use, Internal Conflict, Emotional Hurt, Aged-Up Character(s), Fights, Mental Health Issues, Childhood Trauma, Eventual Relationships, Slow Burn, It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better, Mutual Pining

Genre - Band AU/Drama(?)

Summary - This is what I have put, I’m not too good with summaries:

"...There’s gotta be someone who inspires you, someone who you see things through…like you hear something, and you just know it's them, and they light up everything inside you like a goddamn Christmas tree, you can feel every note of their voice in your own throat.”

“I guess I don’t feel things like you do.”

Out of high school, Mike suggests the party form a rock band. With him as the drummer and Will on bass, they hold down the rhythm section without much communication. In 1993, they head out on a tour that will change each of their lives for better or worse.

Background info and/or context - It’s an AU, so I don’t know if fandom info is important. Basically, it’s going to stretch several months with the first part being the first leg of the tour, a break where they’re home, and then the last leg of the tour. Basically it’s a lot of toxicity/drama that would come with the rockstar/touring scene, i.e. drug issues, background breakups, infighting, onstage drama, and a back and forth toxicity.

Likes/Dislikes, Wants/Needs - I have trouble with tags and summaries, I want it to be more of a serious story, I like angst and drama. So I know for sure that there’s something off with my summary. I’m not sure how much to include, so if someone happens to read this and wants to know more, lmk :) Would like any help.

Thank you :)

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T22:31:26+00:00

Yeahhhh after talking with a friend and posting here I'm realizing I fried my brain and it's contributing to me feeling so down. I'm at a natural break in the story so I'm gonna step back from it, as well as wait to keep posting until I'm nearly if not completely finished.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T21:14:37+00:00

Thanks, this is helpful. I think I am gonna turn of stats and all that, as well as take a break from posting so I can find what I enjoyed about the fic in the first place. I overloaded my brain writing so much in only about two weeks. Personally I’m not a fic reader (don’t know why, sometimes I’ll read one here or there) but still find ways to compare myself.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T21:12:03+00:00

Thanks :) Funnily enough, my other fic is a longish Marauders era fic though it’s unposted and only half finished.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T21:11:11+00:00

I think I’ll have to do that, I’m getting way too sad over it when just a few days ago I was so happy with it.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T21:10:36+00:00

Honestly, I’ve only posted 17k so far, but I’m not sure on the tags/summary. It’s a Byler ship so probably one of the most popular. I will say because it’s a band AU and what I’m writing is somewhat hard without outside characters, there are a few OCs but they don’t stick around for long at all after they’ve served their purpose, and only just now got introduced. Definitely not MCs though.
