Trying, Failing, Learning, and Trying Again
Learning something new can be fun, and exciting but sometimes, it can also be very tasking and challenging.
Ever since I got into the university, it's been one hell of a ride. I'm very good at learning new things and I learn very fast. Truth about me is that once I try to learn something I don't really like for a couple of times and I don't see any good results, I would end up giving up.

I've always been bad at math and just anything that has to do with calculations in general lol. Physics and chemistry is actually very easy for me to understand, but when it comes to math, oh boy! That's like sending me to the battle field knowing fully well I would loose the battle. I applied for nursing because I knew maths wasn't in the equation but I ended up with microbiology and I'm stuck with doing maths all over again for one whole year.
Last semester maths MTH101 was also difficult for me, but I was able to scale through and just give in my best, after all it's just the basic maths from secondary school. I graduated school years ago, I know that's not an excuse, but I wasn't good at maths even when I was in secondary school.
I know you'd say MTH 101 is a basic maths, but don't forget when I said I've never been good in maths. That's one of my greatest weaknesses.
I honestly don't know why I find it so difficult to learn maths. Last week Friday, we had MTH 102 by 8am till 11am and I only understood the first two lines of the solving, I got lost on the third line guys.
I gave up, closed my books and just paid attention to what the lecturer was saying, even tho I didn't understand a thing he was saying, I just didn't bother writing again.
I also forgot my glasses at home, so I couldn't see the board clearly, I guess that was another reason why I didn't pay attention during the class.
The most annoying thing about this whole math class is that we're paired with Engineering students and they're so good at maths, the lecturer doesn't really care about my department lol.

I wish there was a VN feature here on Hive where I could just do one, and then rant about the class, typing it won't do any justice to it.
This semester is all about functions and some few other topics. I still don't understand this semester's maths and exams are fast approaching.
I've met a friend of mine, he majors in mathematics and I'm hoping he'd teach me a thing or two that way I can catch up with my classes or else I don't know what I would write in the exam hall.
He said he would teach me whenever he's free, so hopefully we can start this weekend. I just want to pass and move on to the next level.
Learning Maths has been a hectic one for me, and I just hope I'm able to pull through with it and just know how to do the basics calculations.
Thanks for stopping by 🤗❤️❤️
Math can be a real challenge for many people, but your determination to learn and finding help from a friend who understands the subject is an important step. Don’t worry, it’s completely normal to struggle, especially with something you don’t like very much.

Come get MOONed!
I remembered during my degree studies, too. Though I hate Maths from secondary school and I managed to have a C4 which was like a miracle. But getting to the University, this man made me love Maths and I was like, "So, this subject is so simple like this," but you know, when it was going deeper and technical, I became confused. I never understood that subject, only for the help of my friends then. That subject is one I find so difficult out of others.
I can relate with you 100%, my lecturer also made it interesting for me during first semester, but now, I'm lost... This semester is harder😩
Mathematics is no joke and I remember how I also struggled with it, to make matters worst I went to studied computer science that involves more calculations and some that are even the contrast of maths logic.
I'm wishing you all the best with the Person willing to teach you and I pray you grab it fast.
Wow! That's a really tough one, glad you finished well...
Thank you!!🤗
Maths no be beans for me too ooo. Thanks for sharing.
At all😩
Yep

STOP50% if everyone complains about maths
I used to complain too, but I just feel like when I just pay a little more attention than the normal, I get to understand better.
It’s actually usually easier said than done.
Just continue, you’ll be alright
I know it was God that was behind every calculation course I ever did. Mathematics in my university is coded MTS. I just found my way around all the MTS and physics course in the first two years of the university. I am not good at calculations because I don't fancy them.
Don't fret baby girl, you'd get it right and pass well. Try to learn them because you have too, get your friends to teach you. Yu will finish well🙏🥂
