<p>I kind of like both actually, but that’s only if I’m interested in the topic I’m writing about.</p>

<p>In writing, there is less of a correct answer that I have to prove a specific way to get correct. Not surprisingly, I’m a social sciences major.</p>

<p>Ok I’m not in college but I don’t really like both, but I like math problems because papers just drag on and I’d rather do a packet of sheer math than a giant essay.</p>

<p>I like both too. But to choose, I go</p>

<p>When I write papers, usually I know what I’m talking about and, when I’m having problems with them, it’s much easier to get through than math or science problems—those just make my head spin.</p>

<p>I think both have their virtues and pitfalls, but I tend to stress out more for papers because the concepts I’m writing about are more abstract than those involved in math/science problems. And when I hit a stumbling block/weakness in my argument, I’m more likely to want to give up or gloss over it. On the other hand, for problem sets, I refuse to give up until I’ve understood everything. However, I really love the feeling of satisfaction I get after I finish a paper that I’ve spent a lot of time writing and rewriting.</p>

<p>I’m a Political Science and English double major though, so I’m pretty sure this doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone.</p>

<p>Biochemistry major, and I like it.</p>

<p>(I’m sorry.) I’m a political science major, which is actually a very quantitative subject, or at least, I analyze it very quantitatively as many of the professors at my school. I gave my half-hearted attempt at theoretical math and I think the one thing I’ve taken from it beyond a couple pretentious words is how I write: Making an argument in an essay is very much like writing a mathematical proof, and this is where my pretentious terminology comes out (and thus I feel like a nerd).</p>
<p>That said, as much as I can relate to the nerdy excitement that I used to get from finishing a math problem (mostly from high school math, less from college because in college, I was, quite blatantly, lazy at math), writing is my true love. Math is just my brain’s logical way of thinking. I love playing with phrases and words, and simply expressing myself. In an allegorical sense, my use for logical thinking is like the technique of dressing up pretty to catch the eyes of admirers, while a piece of writing is the finishing, indefinite, but true love.</p>
<p>Okay, enough sounding like a dork.</p>
<p>In that case, the preference goes towards papers over math/science, so it’s 13-18.</p>

<p>no questions asked i vote papers. once in one 12 hour period on a sunday the day before the due date, i cranked out 29 pages double spaced for an honors (not even AP) NSL essay. it was supposed to be 5 pages double spaced. lol</p>

<p>Lol, wow, I realized I preferred papers in the middle of the discussion in my head and then forgot how all-or-nothing works…</p>
