    Math. It was the least effort to success ratio.

    Like, history? I’m not reading all that shit, writing paragraphs out for you. Ugh.

    Math: all angles of a (euclidian) triangle add to 180. One is 120. One is 30. One is x. What is x? 😎 really? That’s the lesson, just like 45 different ways? Ok. Ez.

        Is this your way of saying you failed Differential Equations in college?

        😢 that’s the easy stuff it gets harder

        No it doesn’t, you’re just bad at it.

                You suggested I hadn’t made it out of primary school yet, presumably because my math example was a trig/algebra example.

                This came off as gloating over your own math skills.

                I let you know it came off as immature by asking you if that was your way of telling us that you had failed more difficult math classes, like diff eqs.

                I then closed by letting you know that not only am I beyond primary school, I found a notoriously difficult math curriculum (again, diff eqs) to be just as easy as the trig/calc that made me fall for math in then first place.

                Finally, I suggested that all math is easy if you’re good at math, and that if you found something in math challenging, it’d be because you personally struggled with it and not because it didn’t make perfect sense, to tie the whole point together.

                Hope this helps.

    History, which I later went on to get my degrees in. As for why, I believe it was 100% due to how awesome my APUSH history teacher was in high school

    High school? Chemistry. I took it because I had no interest in biology. Turned out to be interesting, so much so that I took Chem II even though it wasn’t required to graduate.

    Chem II was the hardest math class in high school. I loved it.

    College? Computer Organization. It’s about how computers work down at the circuitry level. All the programming was in assembly. Easily the hardest class I took in college.

    I don’t know why the hard classes were always my favorites.

    Up through high school it was math, I’m good at it and it’s all about figuring out rules rather than memorizing facts. If you were good enough at math in my school you never had to study material like you did with history or english readings, and there is a strong satisfaction to truly understanding the rules that our universe operates by. In the later years of high school I also got to try programming classes, which helped lead me to where I am today.

    High school: Physics or Calculus. Loved Newtonian physics, and I was always good at advanced math (sucked at basic arithmetic for some reason, always got bored and skipped steps)

    College: Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, or Fluid Dynamics. Combination of advanced math and physics, always really cool to me. Differential equations was a close fourth.

    I liked my moral and ethical philosophy class, up until the professor started evangelizing to us about religion, which kinda ruined it for me

    History, one of two teachers I got that wasn’t a total asshole and he was cool, Mr Wilkens. " And “Values and standards” (don’t know how to translate it differently, we had it instead of religion), the teacher was the other human being in our school. All other teachers were sick nutcases and / or simply assholes. RIP Mr Lehrke, the small grey guy who talked with me for hours about kabbalah, mysticism and all that other stuff I was into. And he liked the cheap discount beer, like me :) He was the reason I went to University. Solely.

    Information and Technology lol. You’d think I’d take a major in computer science, right? But I actually despised math so I went to art school instead. Though I must say I feel like I didn’t like math because I suspect that I have what is basically mild dyscalculia (undiagnosed), for lack of a better term, and I’m learning some coping skills.

    English isn’t the native language where I’m from so I liked English classes the most. It was fun flexing my English skills to others that couldn’t speak it very well.
