What sort of tasks does a mathematician commonly do in their job?
While I know the image of "people in suits crunching numbers" is wholly false, I'm not actually all that sure about what mathematicians (whether they're studying topology, physics, or any branch beyond) commonly do as a part of their occupation. Is it more akin to individual work or research in...

How do you know if you've hit your "moment?"
Being indecisive really complicates the college search. I'm always afraid that my "moment" of realization will miss me. What if I never realize what I want to do? What if there are other people who have missed their boat? These are honestly the biggest stresses for me as I'm hitting the end of...

How much writing and reading are expected?
Sometimes you can't understand what you're reading unless you break it down to annotate, and annotating takes long itself to do. Do all subjects require to do that as well?

How can you manage your time in college?
I'm asking this because college can take up a lot of your personal time. Like will there be a lot of homework everyday for every subject? There will be deadlines around the same time so what can you do to turn it in on time.

Why isn't there a fast track program for all majors?
