1. Tom Brady is leaving. 2. I'm one step away from a C- on math, which I usually get an A on (the first time I am hating my math teacher/prof). Exact same situation. Last semester I had to withdraw from one. This semester I am doing my hardest not to but bombed my first exam. This is coming from someone who barely struggled to get an a in math up to that point. |

1. Quarterback! Got sold didn't he? 2. What topic? Calculus? Combinatorics? lol 1. I think he is leaving as a free agent. 2. Vector calculus. Oh yep. Thats the class I withdrew from. Rly bad teacher and the class became extremely difficult after transformation and into surface integrals/stokes theorem. |

1. I think he is leaving as a free agent. 2. Vector calculus. Aw, now I want to learn calculus Its really fun but study really hard for it. Its gets more and more complicated with each lvl 1. Calculus I and II were pretty easy and fun. Calculus III I did not pay much attention to regretably. Then when I tried taking a junior level vector calculus course, the structure collapsed in itself. When you get to the senior level math courses like Math Operational Methods (advanced differential equations course) and Vector Complex Analysis, it will be very rewarding. |

Romania just got into the (yearly) flu epidemic. In my school for example, out of 900 students, 300 of them are sick and missing (mostly the children from elementary school; I'm in hightschool and the effects are not visible yet for us). There has been talk about the distribution of masks both in our school and at national level, but nothing has been done. Well, looks like I need to update this: now, there are almost 600 people infected, and 7 deaths in Romania. Good news is that 60 people have been cured/are not infected anymore. |

Uh... Where do I start?
Growing anxiety (this is the first time in my life that I've ever had anxiety for a prolonged period of time)
Most of my anxieties are connected somewhat to the Federal Government of the United States of America
not as much rain as usual during this part of the year (it sucks to always have the sun out here)
The world seeming more hostile
Formula One and Formula E are shut down
I'm slipping in Calculus AB because I have a nonce for a teacher (I'm usually extremely good at mathematics)
I fear I might be growing into a fearful male
Friends being emotionally unstable
Still being an outcast in a world where people my age are doing things I'd never do
Being kinda separated from the others for being Atheist (justifiably so; I make a lot of sacrilegious jokes)
Becoming very British (Formula One, New Wave, and The Smiths does that to people), which is strange being a Pakistani-American (see: British Raj, if you don't get the humour to be had here)
I've had it with the NFL for some weird reason I don't know.
AND I'M STILL NOT REALLY LOVED BY ANYONE OUTSIDE OF MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY despite my efforts to advertise myself (I reckon not having stuff like Tik Tok and Snapchat and whatever else they be using hurts me in this regard? My middle school used Jott.) I HAVE NO ONE TO EMOTIONALLY MELT INTO. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (it'll come with time, but I'm still urked because I'm somehow jealous of literally everyone in my school becoming mates rather immediately (I heard they skip dating)
at least I live in an amazing region, Cascadia

RisviltsovA couple of things, but my main point is everything you are experiencing is completely normal. In fact, I am experiencing the same things you are in college. So let me get this straight 1. There is nothing wrong with being an atheist unless you go about it in a negative way (such as bashing other people for believing in something else). If your friends have an issue with that, they are not your friends. If people dislike some feature about you, its their problem and its their responsibility to fix it. Otherwise, ignore them. 2. Having a bad math teacher is awful. I have had two misses in a row with my math teachers here at my university. Do the best you can in order to get a good grade. Even if you get a bad one, who cares honestly. Doing badly in one class, especially in high school, will barely affect you growing up. I would focus on acing the ap exam in order to make sure you are caught up with the students who take it at a university. Or just drop it all together and take it later with a good math teacher/professor over the summer at community college. This is life, there are many paths that you can take. 3. I can relate. Many people in college like to party and drink. Many people in college join many clubs and do many things outside of school. I can’t relate as I am focusing on my studies. Let me just tell you that you should care far less about what other people are doing and care more about what you want to do in life. It does not matter what your friends like to do if you don’t like to do the same things. 4. Anxiety is not the end of the world. You will lose it as soon as you start pretending it does not exist. Really, it is just a feeling. Ignore it and go about your day. 5. Yes, its normal to lose passion for somethings as you grow up. Now, I rarely get blown away when watching a movie in general, especially kids movies and superhero flicks, stuff that I watched 5 of on the daily basis when I was 14. You are just growing as a human being. 6. Most people end up unsuccessful/unhappy when they hit their 30’s/40’s. It is a good idea to stop following other people’s footsteps and do whatever you want to do in life. But it also good to draw out a strategy on how to handle life. Make plans on what you are going to do when you are 40, when you are young for example like 16. You will have a sense of direction and will not walk around blind. Also try to get as much drive as possible. Find entertainment in things that are not so entertaining. You’ll get through this phase, don’t worry. Once you are rich and successful at 40, you will regret worrying so much when you were young. Take care!

All the planning I've been doing since being a pre-teen will definitely come in handy for the rest of my life. I'm quite the unorthodox guy with ideas aplenty that seem nonsensical to others. At least my friends are academically minded and aren't into that partying crap, and being a central figure in my family comes with extremely good training at dealing with adult matters (I reckon). And with mathematics, I'm trying to find other ways to learn Calculus (such as Khan Academy) which don't suck. At least I've got a strong interest in US politics and US history. |

Patrick jmt and tons of textbook problems (which you can look up the solutions to with chegg) was the way to go for me. |

We had to get two done a night during a portion of second semester, and, due to the score dropping when a question was missed, I took more than an hour each night for the ones I didn’t know by heart. So at the end of the year, I was missing like 20 of them, and trying to make those up wasn’t fun. |
