Do any of you have advice on good scholarships for a student interested in math? It's just so laborious finding them.
Don't complain, a year at my school is 56K. My scholarship was originally 2/3, but with tuition increases and whatnot its down to half. Do the math on that, math major.
Math majors are notoriously bad at doing math.

But we're really good at following cohomology chain complexes!
I couldn't remember the formula for the surface area of a sphere when my cousin asked for HW help, but I sure can tell you everything about the surfaces of n-spheres.

My first GRE Math practice test I basically failed because I didn't realize they asked you to evaluate closed integrals.

The only reason I have any basic arithmetic skills at all at this point is that my alarm won't turn off unless I do multiplication problems.

My only regret about FFXIV right now is that I can't play more of it.

Nah, not even that, my groans in the morning should be enough of a sign if they can fucking make my fingerprint open up the phone's interface T.T
Speaking of phones, I have a s4 and my messages and phone apps are not receiving notifications, some shitty AT&T app is that encompases both, and I'd rather those two apps get the stuff. Does anyone know how to change that shit?

This is true. As a Math major, I couldn't figure out how to make change for a twenty. 2 Toonies and 4 Loonies is equivalent to $7 in my world.

I tried it tonight actually. Wasn't bad. I mean, tasted like fried chicken.

At least substitute mayonnaise and a dash of spice for the miracle whip so you can cut out some of the cancer

Lol I'm all for whole foods and staying away from processed foods. I was trying to give a simple recipe for someone that would want something good that was easy. What exactly are you wary of in Miracle Whip though? Soybean oil.... yeck. Modified corn starch sounds suspicious. Enzyme modified egg yolk sounds funny as well. What else? You can do much much worse in terms of "cancer" 
I also accept if you like mayo over miracle whip. However I think mayo tastes nasty and miracle whip is delicous so

Moral of the story is that math majors are bad at math
