I used to be really afraid of math.

Back in high school, I had a friend named robel, he was just built different (was so good at math everything and always told me, “Just practice more.”
I didn’t listen. I was busy playing around.

Fast forward to college with the help of tutors and a lot of patience, my mindset slowly changed. I’m still not the fastest, and I don’t always get the “perfect” solution like some classmates. But now, at least, I’m not scared to put pen to paper. I can approach a problem and understand where to start and that’s a big win for me.

So if you’re a first-year student or a Cs student and feeling overwhelmed by maths: don’t panic. Try to make it fun, make mistakes, and use every resource you can. No one is born knowing this stuff.

Some things that really helped me:
- 3Blue1Brown amazing for visualizing concepts
- Organic Chemistry Tutor great for quick, clear exam-style explanations
- blackPenRedPen especially helpful for calculus and integrals with practice questions
