Meme Child™️: IM GONNA BE THANOS CAR *makes team name Thanos Car and puts team members as various people thanos killed*

Oh, I feel that struggle. The world of science was bright and new and shiny, but not in a cool gift way. In a very sharp knife way. But still fun.

That being said I was very happy with my switch but I did struggle more than average bear because I particularly had no background, just like you. Bio 1 and 2 were fine because it’s still a lot of memorization over functional thinking but chemistry and physics I and II kicked my butt. I did find myself studying a lot more than my friends because despite them being introductory classes I had a lot to catch up on. 

But let me give you an interesting benefit eventually the playing field levels out. No one in high school takes organic chemistry (mostly). No one is taking advanced statistics or mechanical engineering. Those upper level classes are where college level becomes a real thing. And guess what? We’re already used to having to work our butts off for the minimum and having while having idea what’s going on. We’ve had practice. The transition period from “what the hell?” to “I’ve know what I need to do to succeed” is greatly reduced because, hey, been there done that. And believe me on this, I have watched the freak out of students not being able to adjust because there was no introduction or previous class taken at that level. It’s not pretty.
