      I don’t remember a single course being specifically stressful, but for me, the second year of university was pretty tough!

      I tried to do further maths at A level. The leap was huge and I vowed to never do anything involving maths again.

      Jokes on me – my job is heavily involved in maths/stats and I’m relearning everything from YouTube.

      During my science degree I had to study a module on biomechanics. I found it really hard as it had been a few years since my maths A Level, where I had done a mechanics module, but I’d obviously forgotten everything.

      I worked really hard, seeking help from others, and I passed the course – the moral of that story probably being that sometimes you just have to find a way, any way, to do ‘well enough’ to pass!

      But as someone here has mentioned, now I find myself doing a lot more maths and some coding for my PhD, the latter of which is completely new to me – the best advice I got there was ‘Google is your friend’!

      In my first year of uni both chemistry and math I found really challenging. For whatever reason it never naturally clicked for me so I had to make sure I put some extra effort in to keep up with everyone else. I ended up passing them but never really enjoyed them so I focused more on biology and psychology in my later years.
