  Don’t over think it, it’s just classes and flexing your math noodle consistently. Pro tip for masters work, make a schedule and treat it as a job. Undergrad you can easily get away with “eh I can cram before the test”. Not in masters and above. With the schedule though it’s extremely important you schedule days off, burning out is hell and extremely hard to overcome. I suggest weekends so it really is a job like schedule. Utilize your schools school psychologist/psychiatrist, it’s free (usually) and helpful (usually). Good luck and remember to have life as a priority too!

    Excellent advice. Treat it like a job. Switch off on the weekends. Be on time on Monday morning.

  Nothing great was ever accomplished without risk. I am certain that if you made it through the rest of your college career you will do great in this part to!

  I quit 3 years into a math phd last year. The math was never the hard part. Make friends and follow your interests and you’ll be fine. You’ll be surprised at how doable it is once you get started.
