10 Signs You Suck At Math

If you can relate to most of these signs and thoughts, math really just isn't your best subject, but may the odds be ever in your favor.

1. You never volunteer to do a math problem on the white/chalkboard.

When your teacher says everyone's favorite line, "I'll wait," when no one has answered their question, you don't care; you are not volunteering. Even if it means your class has to stay an extra 10 minutes after, there is no way you will be the one to raise your hand.

2. You check your calculator for simple problems.

The problem is 5+9, and you will still enter that into your calculator — you know, just to be sure.

3. Your final answer isn't even an option to the multiple choice question.

It is the worst when you're so confident while figuring out a problem. You're working hard, and finally you get the answer. You look for it from the multiple choice options, but...nothing. Now all you can think is, "Is this a trick question or am I really that stupid?"

4. You always got placed into the lowest math class after placement exams.

You never had class with your friends because they were placed into the higher math courses, while you were placed in the lowest. You were literally in the lowest math class, and you still don't know what's going on.

5. You don't know how to read Roman numerals.

When someone gets a tattoo of Roman numerals, you're just like "How? How do they know Roman numerals, and how do they expect people to read their tattoo? Well, I guess it's just me who can't read them." Also, you don't even know what Super Bowl year it is. Why can't everyone just use regular numbers?

6. People who love math weird you out.

"Math is fun!" Really? Why is that even a thing? Just stop.

7. You don't know how to calculate tips or discounts.

Here, just take this uncalculated tip. Also, 30 percent off from $55... well 55 minus 30... so the new total must be 25.

8. Your math teacher could be the coolest person ever, but they still annoy you only because they're excited about math.

I really do wish I could like my math teacher, but they're...a math teacher.

9. You somewhat understand the problems in class, but once you go to do your homework it feels like you never even went to class.

What even is good memory?

10. You have no idea how to read this number...345,780,000.

You're right, I don't. So I'll just read it as every individual number..."three four five, seven eight zero, zero zero zero."

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
