/sci/ - Science & Math

Dude, I am just now realizing that I spent my whole life until now either fucking off or trying to become competent in literally everything that interests me. As a result, I am not great at anything in particular besides making people like me, and am back at square one mathematically. I am going through Khan academy starting at Algebra I so that I don't have to pay for rudimentary classes when I return to school. I feel that if I had realized that someone who is okay at everything isn't great at anything sooner. Honestly, playing RPGs really helped me realize this.
