Oh man, Differential Equations. After doing well in Calc 1-3 I thought it would be no big deal. I paid attention in class and barely did the homework because it all seemed so straightforward but it was boring and I was not engaged.

I came in for the first exam, sat there for maybe 15 minutes reading the questions, and realized I had no idea how to solve any of them.

Luckily it was before the drop date! That was a turning point where I decided to only take classes that seemed fun. For me that was discrete math, number theory, abstract algebra, etc.
