I have a question for all math majors, and double majors, and athletes.

I am doing a MSc in CS and just startet with a BA in Maths. I've always liked and enjoyed maths and I believe I have got talent for it. However, I am a slacker, and I've got rather average marks in my Computational Neuroscience MSc and tbh I don't really like it, and I am gonna do another one in AI. I am used to slacking off, because somehow I can solve problems and do assigments in half the time other people need, and if I just invest a bit more time, I get the best marks. One thing I enjoy is competitive sports, I am and I work out almost daily. Since I am barely social, it's great for balancing out the uni stuff. Also, if I don't work out, I get depressed.

Now for the first time in my life, I actually feel challenged by my studies, by my math BA. Sure most of the maths I do currently is babby tier and I already know it, but some of the exercises really make me think, and doing the entire sheet can take up to an afternoon. Now, since I have twice as many lectures now, and I need to work out daily, I am really getting into time pressure. I feel like I really need to change something major about how I spend my time, and do it quickly, or I won't be able to handle all the work.

So how do you guys manage this? I guess maths at MA or PhD is a lot more work.

Was it a bad idea to study maths or double major? I just don't feel sufficiently challenged in my CS MSc. However, the stress now is really getting to me, and I have headaches because of high blood pressure for the first time in my life. I am usually not a whiny bitch, but this is annoying as fuck if you want to train/learn.

What do I do /sci/? How did you get your shit together and in order? Is a double major always hard?

Read the mod post in the sticky. It tells you why you're gonna get banned for this thread.

[autism intensifies]

I want to talk with STEM double majors about double majoring in STEM. I don't need college/university advice.

I know there are a few people out there who double major in math/CS or math/physics.

fuck off.
that sticky is up for a reason.
asking for university advice no matter how related it is to /sci/ is not welcome.

it's more than one person dumbass.
this isn't the place to ask for university help.
it is actually autistic of you for you not to understand the social norms of /sci/.

I am sorry bro, I have been on /sci/ for years and this has never been the attitude of this board.

I don't care about your shopped screencaps, since you're obviously a samfagging autist desperate for attention. So please, go to >>>/b/ if you need to shitpost, nobody gives a fuck about your uneducated opinion here.

This is clearly a lie. /sci/ always hated you /soc/ and /adv/ blog shitters. Guess why we got that sticky redirecting you to where you belong.
