MATH 101: chill out

Dear everyone who is freaking out about the MATH 101 final,

Hi. I graduated a good while back but I still lurk in the sub.

As a direct result of almost a decade of the aforementioned lurking, I can say with complete confidence that every single year, there are pages and pages of posts about how the MATH 101 final was hugely different from prior years and no one was ready and everyone failed and the sky is falling and no one is going to get into their major.

Every year, for the overwhelming majority of people, including folks who thought they got completely obliterated, it's fine.

I promise you can take a breath and chill out. The marks will probably be out a bit later than you'd like, and even if they are out on the first day of trails, whatever portal you kids use to access marks (I will date myself by referencing the SSC) will crash on the first day they're released and then be extremely slow for days after.

But you're going to be okay. Take the time you're spending researching summer courses or alternate ways to get credit or running away to join the circus and take a big, deep breath instead. Go sit on the grass in the sun for ten minutes. This happens every year, and every year, it's fine.

With love,

A crusty alumni.
