of not understanding any of the shit you're are studying
atm all 4 of my classes are over my head comprehension wise and I fucking hate the feeling. I'm not getting bad grades really and I'm doing the work so I guess I'll just deal just had to vent the feeling

Where would it explain the more basic concepts? Sounds like you might to strengthen your knowledge of them.

Im in the exact same situation. Im also not getting bad grades, so I will just deal.
At first when I took low level classes I would study the subject, understand the concepts and then apply that knowledge to complete the problems. But then about a year or two ago things started changing... I would study for hours and not understand the concept... So I had to just struggle my way through the problems without comprehension. Then I started to gain comprehension through simply struggling through problems. Now thats how it is always for me.
Instead of reading, comprehending, then doing problems... Now I read, do the problems, then hopefully comprehend some fraction by the end of the semester.
What are you doing? Some math or science?

yup math and science, you got it
they arnt even that challenging of classes which is scaring me of the future I have instore for myself main two subjects having trouble with: just single variable calculus, which I actually comprehend most of the stuff I've done thus far but the recent few sections are making me feel like my head is going to explode chem 114 - concepts arnt that bad just doing the lab reports + using some of the equations that I dont really comprehend are getting to me
I'm guessing you are taking like 200/300 courses? man I feel like a dumbass sometimes, and I've always thought of myself as more intelligent as the regular joe

Ah I am in a high level calculus course. Multivariable calculus. The thing is, for me, I just 'get it.' I can look at the example problem and understand everything and apply it to future problems.
With that said, Physics is my downfall. Oh how I hate physics and all its properties. Like f=ma. Except you NEVEr actually use f=ma its always a million times more complicated and a derivitive of that eq.
I just don't get physics at all.

thankfully this is the last math class that I will ever have to take in my life, majoring in bio but I do have to take physics in the near future, fun times up ahead

ah a bio degree. See I am indecisive and I love bio and chem. So I am doing a biological engineering degree lol. Physics though....How I hate thee.

Well, its normal to have a few section in a calc class throw you off, and you just dont get it even after the final. The same thing happened to me when I took it. I now tutor calc and still dont understand some of the shit students ask me.
Chem lab reports do suck. I enjoy lab, but rushing through some canned lab report is not fun. I actually withdrew from both freshmen calc and chem because I was so frustrated with them. But now I have long since completed them and cherish what I learned.
man I feel like a dumbass sometimes, and I've always thought of myself as more intelligent as the regular joe My major makes me fell like a dumbass all the time. But I think that the best way to grow is to put myself in a situation where everyone around is smarter than me. If I surround my self with people that dont challenge my intellect, sure I feel smart, but I gain nothing.
Anyway Im going to do some crazy shit I dont understand right now!

I need to study for my chem 122 quiz tommorow. physics, chem, calc (and history but thats cake) makes up for a hard quarter.

Im in three physics and a history. And my history is also so fucking easy. I dont do any reading that is assigned, and just look over the powerpoint before the test and its an easy A. For physics I study all week and get a 40%
