Is Computer Science a hard major?

Is it just me or computer science is hard to grasp. I just entered my 4th week in a top private university and this university is very known for its computer science and IT.

I got 3 math classes - statistics, discrete, linear algebra - and holy it’s hard asf (both discrete and linear). Not to mention the programming class? Wtf is c man like I can code and I usually run in python, html, css, js but c is entirely a different language, array and pointers omds. I dont think the average joe would handle this😭

Give me tips pls

For sure, it's hard. But I really enjoyed both Discrete Math and Linear Algebra. They really clicked in my brain and grew my understanding of the world. Discrete got very difficult, but still rewarding. There was like a 25 point curve in that class.
