    I was one of those “smart kids in highschool”. University hit me like a ton of bricks, suddenly having to spend home time studying was something I was totally not used to.

    I mean, I had this theoretical understanding of homework and studying, but I never did it more than an hour a week.

    Doing my first 2 semesters twice was a great wakeup though.

      Similar experience.

      I refused to do homework during high school. I passed by simply reading the book in class and always acing my tests with 100s.

      Barely graduating high school didn’t matter for my local college, because I fucking crushed my SAT.

      I dropped out of college.
