>>8009663Keep your head up, bro. I am struggling hard in Trig but aside from that, college is great. I didn't enjoy the military environment (I was a marine) and the atmosphere and persona they wanted me to maintain was something I just couldn't keep up. That being said, I get to be myself now. I don't have to refer to anyone by rank, nobody refers to me by rank. I am my regular name now, not my last name. I don't have to worry about arbitrary timelines that senior leadership seldom upholds- I make my own schedule (I'm married with a child so kind of... lol) and get to do as I please. All of that said, it has provided me with a level of calm that- despite struggling in math, I know that I can still do well. It hasn't even been a full month, so I now I will do better as time progresses. My first piece of advice would be to S T U D Y your ass off, and study frequently. Whenever you have free time, do practice problems over and over and over. The repetition is what I need, personally. Not the "you fucked this up twice, you're never doing anything like this again" that the military drills into your brain. If you aren't doing well in any aspect of your college career, practice that thing you aren't doing well 1,000 times over until it makes sense OR until you at bare minimum can recognize the pattern that must be repeated in order to succeed. Secondly, take your mental health seriously. If you feel like you have ADD/ADHD or any type of learning disability, go to the doctor. It's not "going to sick call" or "going to medical" anymore, you're just going to the doctor where everything you said isn't taken like it's bullshit anymore- or you're looked at like you're making an excuse to get put on light/lim-duty. I was diagnosed with ADD when I was a teen but didn't say anything to the recruiter because I wanted to join and foolishly convinced myself that "I'll out grow this and it will eventually go away". Go to the doctor if you need ANYTHING.
