Thank you all for replying!

@HalfMoon22
Thank you very much for the wonderful comment. Your advice is helpful regardless, it gave me some confidence to look at other posibilities. I’m glad things worked out for you in the end!

@suzyQ7
I will probably consider changing in due time. Not quite yet as I have to complete some of the pre-reqs but I am extremeley close to taking those courses. I’m estimating I can complete the minor requirment by next year.

@CheddarcheeseMN
I’m unsure, but I will definetely look into it. I have noticed that more cs professors are replacing written exams with projects which is something I am more confident in. However, the theoretical classes will for sure have the type of exams I struggle with. Good advice!

@damon30
Yes, you have a valid point! I really do start to freak out before exams and become overwelmed when I probably have no reason to. And I will try to talk to my professor or TA when I feel that the same thing is happening. The new quarter has begun, so it would be wise to prepare early.

@“aunt bea”
I have thought about meeting with a tutor, but I get really anxious around others and freeze up during sessions. I begin to forget concepts and get even more frustrated because I come off totally lost. Oh, I go online to see “extra tidbits” and stuff not gone over class for the fun of it. Things like “what else can this be used for?” Thank you for the confidence boost and advice!
