  Replying to “It’s my first semester at ETH studying physics. I had mentally prepared myself for the stress and I do...” So he‘s a lucky guy I guess. Personaly I‘m happy that for example the exams in summer are in late august. Otherwise I couldn‘t prepare enough for the exams. I just can‘t imagine to do all the studying in less time..

• Question
  5th semester math student here. I still struggle with even simple proofs and any type of "show that..." exercises. It's not that I don't understand them, but I struggle to come up with the (right) ideas. Somehow I still manage to pass the exams, but I've never had the feeling that I can actually prove anything by myself. Can you relate? Is there anything that helped you to start getting ideas without external help? Is there something like a turning point after which one develops a feel for proofs, and if so, how did you get there?
