What if I've forgotten how to write? Do I even still know how to read? What is math even? And, the big one...will I still have time for yoga and gardening and baking and all of the things that make me happy to be alive? The transition, and the not knowing what's coming next, are the things that freak me out the most. Reading this thread has helped a little.

No, you're just rusty.

Yes, you'll just learn to do it better.

Even math experts struggle to answer that lol.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes if you're willing to make adjustments to fit them in.

I feel ya!! I'm so excited for the Fall but also spend hours agonizing over every email I send to my prospective profs because I'm worried they will think I'm some kind of dolt. If you feel awkward at PSU, you can always find me and explain some maths and I will be BLOWN AWAY because I have a sad level of proficiency there. Also, there are free on-campus yoga classes at the Wellness Center, so hopefully that will spark some joy
