Yada Yada Yada...

For today's blog, I feel like venting about college algebra. So once college started I avoided taking math the first 5 years at any cost. Now the time has come where I actually have to endure taking the classes. I finished my last math class last semester, now I'm taking my next one. Honestly I don't understand the purpose of algebra. I'm majoring in criminal justice, so why do I need to know how to factor? I feel like math classes should focus on everyday uses like budgeting, measuring out things, or even doing taxes. Venting over.
