How did you find PF?

Hello everyone. I am a college student trying to master physics so I can continue on with mechanical engineering. I’m 36 so more of an older student LOL. I’m open to any tips you have for getting the hang of it. I watch tons of lectures and subscribe to math and science.com. I try to learn as much as I can but man I get lost LOL.

Welcome to PhysicsForums JC.

You can find study tips in the Academic Guidance forum (or whatever it is called now), and you can get help on specific schoolwork problems by starting threads in the Homework Help forums (where you are required to show your best efforts to start working each problem that you post). The PF is a great learning resource, and it's good to have you here.
