The mathematical transformation nobody warns you about! Start with innocent Euclidean geometry and before you know it, you're strutting around in Category Theory outfits while your brain morphs into increasingly buff ancient mathematicians. The true horror isn't the complexity of abstract algebra—it's what happens when you've been staring at prime factorizations for so long that you start developing the physique of a Greek statue. Trust me, I've seen promising young topologists disappear into the abyss of mathematical abstraction, only to emerge with perfect abs and an unhealthy obsession with the Riemann Hypothesis. The department won't tell you this, but there's a direct correlation between how abstract your math gets and how dramatically your fashion sense evolves.

Ever notice how math was chill until the 1800s hit? Then suddenly some mathematical sadists decided to invent non-Euclidean geometry, complex analysis, and abstract algebra. The 19th century is when mathematicians collectively said "you know what would be fun? Making students sweat bullets for generations to come!" That face is the universal expression of every student who thought they understood math until they hit imaginary numbers, group theory, or—heaven forbid—topology. The existential dread is palpable. Even Neptune, god of the seas, can't help you navigate these mathematical waters!
