    When you take a statistics class while also taking a handful of calculus classes, statistics feels like its just making up math to feel special.

    Derive something? nope! just memorize the weird rules because I said so!

    At least with calculus, if you’re feeling frustrated with the whys you can brute force your way through the whys and arrive at the answer. Stats is just made up nonsense. Calculus is just rate of change elaborated on forever, I get that.
