What's your math background?

3 days might be a bit hard to really appreciate what all you can do with it, but it can be enough to get the basics down, there's a 3blue1brown playlist I can recommend it's good. My only advice would be to solve at least some example problems on pen and paper.

I should probably take my time with it but how much calc will I really use in computer science? I really want to finish my degree before the end of the year

My highest math was college precalc in high school

Depends, for example AI has gradient descent which is essentially multivarible differentiation.

Complex numbers and calculus are also needed for quantum computing.

But in reality you don't really need to know any maths to be able to do CS. Math is only necessary if you wish to understand things at a deeper level.

Ok so I probably should pay attention. I probably just want to do software engineering but I might go for a masters and if I do that, I might specialize in AI.

I also might get a BS in Cybersecurity and another in AI after I finish CS. Online school makes it so easy (at least in terms of scheduling). Might as well get as many degrees as I can considering how affordable online school is
