In all honesty, it all really depends on what you would like your major to be. Taking Calculus is only requred for most sciences, engineering, and medical fields, but other majors need only basic courses of math to fulfill the requirements (such as business, English, Psych, etc.). Finding what major you would like is more of a discovery/process than anything else, but don’t feel as though you need to take math to be successful in college. I can vouch to say that your friends will probably go in their own separate paths as well, whatever fits them most.

Even though i stunk at math in high school. I wish I was in a higher class but I just look at is I need to do this, I have to do this.

The class is boring, but I’m using it to learn those things like study skills. I’m using it less for the benefit of the math and more for the benefit of the experience. This was my first traditional class and its been neat to see how this work, and to help myself set up schedules, and study times.

The knowledge you are gaining in this lower level class is going to help you in your high level classes so much. Stick it out and be strong, it will be a great benefit to you!
