My roommate saw my final exam calculator target and laughed

I'm a theatre major, but I have to take a math credit. I'm in "Math for Liberal Arts Majors," which is supposed to be the easy route. It is not easy for me. I was using a final exam calculator to figure out what I need on the final to get a C. The target number? 63%. I was actually relieved! I texted a screenshot to my roommate, who is an engineering major, with the caption: "I just need a D on the final to pass the class, let's GOOO!" He texted back a laughing emoji and a screenshot from his own final exam calculator. His target to pass his thermodynamics class? 112%. He said my post made his day. It really put things in perspective. We're both stressed, but in totally different dimensions of math. Shout out to all the humanities majors barely surviving our required math classes, and to the engineering majors who need to literally achieve the impossible. We're all in this together, I guess.

Okay but can we talk about how "Math for Liberal Arts Majors" is such a scam? They market it as the easy math credit, but for people who actively chose theatre specifically to avoid math, it's still brutal. Numbers are numbers! They don't care if you're a "creative"! I took the same class and my final target was 71% and I literally cried with relief. My engineering friends did not understand.
Meanwhile, your roommate's 112% is just cruel. That's not a target, that's a hostage situation. He's not studying for a final, he's preparing to negotiate with the professor for extra credit. Sending him good vibes. May the curve be ever in his favor.
