The only thing you are too old for is holding yourself back bud. Why not give it a try and see where it leads at least?

Not too old to learn, but too old to be creative with it

>> No.9040191

you can boost neuroplasticity with memory exercises like learning a new language, also good sleep, vitamins and antioxidants that can pass the blood brain barrier

What are you doing in here?

I study a lot of different topics, just not math.
Study philosophy. Bitches get wet when you talk about philosophy

Still good at math when I apply myself, just can't do anything creative with it. Sometimes I imagine myself how I'd be doing math undergrad and getting some new insight if only I had done something with my life.

I know smart but lazy is a meme but either the class wasn't hard enough or you actually are smart and lazy.

High school math was a breeze. I mean hard for brainlets that there were 10-25 students correcting their "fail marks" as we call 'em over the summer out of a hundred. I think I learnt quick with the exercises we did in class.

Probably was a breeze though. Even if I had potential I screwed it up back then.

You're not too old. There's still hope. Just follow this meme list.
