I could study Discrete maths in the 1st semester but it looks sosososo hard!!!!! I also have to study other scary compulsory maths courses, I am so worrieddddd 
Q: Defer Discrete maths till next year or next semester or Do it and get a fail or pass it if lucky? Q: Should I do Physics or Chemistry as my electives? which is more useful? and which is less likely for me to fail? 
I am already enrolled in DM...and the programming is also a nightmare waiting...  |

Discrete math is a lot of fun and very relevant to compsci, so I definitely recommend it. It's also a pre-requisite for a few 2nd year classes. I recommend physics over chem. It's directly applicable to games and other things. I'm sure chem applies too, but I never took it so I can't judge. If it is, it's probably not as obvious as physics is. |

If your good at math, physics is easy to do, it's just applied math. And the formulas you learn definitely apply to video games as insectoid mentioned. Chemistry tends to be a lot harder, as it requires a lot more memorization (the formulas used in physics can pretty much all be derived from one another). |

Also, Dm is a compulsory subject for CS major. |

Pff, Chemistry is just applied Physics.  |
