Mouse scrolls the opposite way from my trackpad
Mouse and trackpad each have their own "Natural scrolling" setting.
With your mouse connected, open Mouse settings and turn "Natural scrolling" off (leave the Trackpad one as you like). The Mouse page only has these options while a mouse is connected.
