I was bad at math in school because I simply didn't give a fuck. I think math is something where you can't just bullshit your way through and I didn't like that.
This makes sense
Usually the excuse is "well I'm never gonna need 2 use math" which doesn't make sense since you're never gonna have to use shakespeare either or any number of boring shitz. In fact, math is more useful than most other things, regardless of your profession in that it teaches you a way to think and look at the world. Even if you're gonna be swinging a shovel for the rest of your lyfe, if you have a good foundation of math, I believe it will make your reality that much clearer. Math is basically a form of god.
