Mathematics and scientific studies are required courses from universities that many
students feel are futile. Because math and science are viewed as skills that will not be used
outside of the classroom, these subjects are disliked (Awasthi, 2017). What is the purpose of
increasing pressure on college students forcing them to learn information they will not use? Why
are we forced to follow through? Teach us information we do not quite understand so that we can
Yes, I understand there are a handful of those who want jobs that require a broad range
of math. In addition, many of the things we take for granted today would not exist without
scholars who have studied multiple hours to become a mathematician or scientist. Which means,
while others want to pursue careers that involve math and science, there are also students who
want a career which has nothing to do with trigonometry or the study of aerodynamics.
Studying these subjects may not come easy to everyone. Preparing for test by devoting
hours toward math curricular definitely helps the grade. What about the final outcome? Looking
ahead, how is curricular on algebraic expressions going to help someone who has dreams of
becoming a makeup artist? Strategies on managing money will certainly benefit any artist or
anyone who is human preparing for life. Being a Lab Rat is not what all college students want to
do. Pathways students choose are completely different, some may want to further their education
in hydrology or combinatorics while others completely despise those concepts. We are all
different! 53% of young Americans from age 18-24 have once found themselves saying they

cannot do math (Change the equation, 2017). Mathematics and Scientific studies should not be
required for college students unless this is the path someone wants to pursue. We want
Everyone wants to be financially stable. If young students are unaware of ways to enlarge
our bank accounts, the cycle of giving money to companies with no return will continue. The
money we spend on fancy clothes and accessories could be put toward a mutual fund or stocks if
we understood how the process worked. Universities should include requirements which
educates student on how to increase $400 to $800 rather than demanding us to learn about
inequalities or meteorology. A majority of students would think twice before spending money.
We are young, which means an investment now has a longer time span to increase for the future
Students who are juggling multiple jobs, sports, double majoring, and trying to get
involved on campus have a huge amount of weight on their shoulders. According to the National
College Health Assessment, almost half of all undergraduate students felt trauma or
overwhelmed regarding their academic responsibilities which include math and science. Also,
many students reported they have more than average or extreme stress (ACHA, 2013). If us
college students need help with managing time, and stress why add more by forcing academic
requirements that do not pertain to our careers? If a woman is heading to college to pursue a
degree in dance, Elements on the periodic table will not give her an advantage to her career. Add
required courses about money management, financial strategies, stress relievers, and things
adults wish they knew before the time was too late.
College students are different, but all have the same goal which is to become
successful in life. As humans, only the things we feel are important sticks with us. Mathematics

and scientific studies happens to be concepts that are not favorited by students. Fill our minds
with information that is useful to everyone despite the career path we choose. Acknowledge the
fact we are all different! Let those who struggle with balancing the stress of required academics
be free of the pressure they do not want. Learning about math and science has benefits,
nevertheless, understanding knowledge about the real world is the only thing that can prepare us
