I love youdr videos professor, please keep going

Hey Professor! I’m about to start my senior year in Math. I am interested in pursuing a Masters and maybe even a PhD in Math but I’m so afraid that I wouldn’t be able to handle the difficulty of a graduate math program. Do you have any advice? Thanks!!
