How do I get back in to studying as an adult?
I wanted to major in physics when I went to college in 2013 (I'm 28 now), but had to drop out and have flushed out a lot of information. A lot of basic concepts are still there, but I'd need a lot of refreshers going back to like algebra lol. I'd love to get back in to studying in my free time, but I've completely forgotten how. Khan academy is great, but any other advice for reteaching and retaining would be awesome!

I went back about 10 years ago to finish my undergrad and then do my masters.
For me the most help for refreshers, before I even bothered to register for classes, was to take calculus classes on coursera.
Khan academy is ok too, but coursera at that time anyway offered free video instructor led courses in calculus and had forum support where the prof and TAs would answer questions on homework and tests, which were also graded.
That’s a lot of content and service provided for free. Hope they still offer that.
Once I knew I could do that, I registered for classes at an actual brick and mortar uni where I did very well afterwards.
I totally forgot about coursera. I took their Stanford logic course the summer after high school and did not do well lol. But I just looked, and they still have some free ones more up my alley. Thanks for the reminder!
