“Not only do we tend to think about the world according to what we want to see and what we need to see, we tend to think in terms of what we expect to see.”

Generally people have expectations and ideas about how things work. Obviously. However going into a new field of work or a new class, taking with you expectations of what the class will be like through similar classes or past experience with the subject can lead to majorly false expectations. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it can be jarring to suddenly see that your expectations were completely wrong, and this can lead to a terrible experience if not dealt with properly. Basically, don’t let your uneducated expectations control you so much as to ruin your first experiences with a topic. Go with the flow and learn. Idk im tired.
