    12 Things Only A Math Major Will Understand

    This one is for the true nerds.

    1.) "Advanced Linear Algebra? I thought you were, like, way past algebra by now. I took that in high school."

    2.) That insufferable twat who has to blurt out the answer before the teacher finishes speaking every single time.

    But the teacher is just like...

    3.) Reading xkcd on your phone during lectures.

    4.) And then the teacher calls on you to figure out the next step because they know you weren't paying attention...

    5.) When the highest grade in the class is 30%.

    6.) "I'm a NERD, not a geek."

    7.) Wolfram Alpha is WITCHCRAFT.

    8.) When engineers think they know what being a math major is like.

    9.) Class description: "Topics selected from automorphism groups, transitivity, primitivity, homomorphisms, generalized polygons, fractional colorings and cliques, spectral decomposition, eigenvalue interlacing, graph laplacians."

    10.) When you transfer to university from your happy little community college world and realize your mastery of computational mathematics is useless in the big scary world of proofs.

    11.) Realizing you have seriously picked the only STEM degree without a high salary.

    12.) But that's ok, there's always grad school.
