10 Benefits to being a Waterloo Math Student

Recently, the question occured to me of why I am in math. Of course, I am good at math, and it is my primary interest in life, but after spending 3 hours fruitlessly looking at a question, I begin to doubt even my most secure of beliefs. I would much rather be happy than depressed, so I made it my mission to come up with a list of reasons to be a math student. Naturally, my math homework did not actually get done, but really, happiness is more important than homework.

And now, in no particular order, 5 reasons to be a math student:

1. Your liver will love your University years.
2. You will have a very low chance of contracting an STD.
3. When you get into the real world, you'll be glad the workload finally decreased.
4. You will never get a sunburn through your whole degree.
5. You will learn a bewildering array of obfuscating vocabulary, allowing you to effortlessly confuse anyone but other math student.

And now, again in no particular order, 5 reasons you should date a math student. If you are reading this, though, you are likely in math already. Whatever.

1. We will always remember anniversaries and birthdays, within an error of plus or minus 183 days.
2. In general, we are available.
3. We are used to staying up all night.
4. We don't repeat mistakes. If we don't get it right the first time, we'll get it right the second.
5. We can differentiate ourselves to be tangent to any curve.
