I pride myself on my booksmarts. But goddamn do I never have to try for anything, and it shouldn't be this easy. My high school prepared me by being extremely strict and having high standards so we wouldn't have trouble in college, but now I feel like I'm being set up to fail. Sure we probably have similar qualities and might even be perfectly even in terms of graduate schools and stuff, but I feel like I'm a child because face time with the professor practically gets me a whole letter grade. It's probably not true and I really don't know anything about European schools, but I can only imagine that most people work harder relative to me. So when I see people doing worse than I am in the same settings (american schools) I don't see what they're problem is, but in an unfamiliar setting, I don't have any knowledge or experience to base my assumptions on, so I can only assume people doing better than me there are working harder or learning more. It's probably a terrible fallacy in comparison to what's available to me, but it doesn't necessarily mean I'm wrong
But yeah, I'm currently disappointed in most schooling here. How "places of higher education" have main concerns over that of education.
Also it's because I'm allowed unlimited access to hot chocolate during the 18 hour a day buffet for meals that come standard with my tuition. That, I'm very not disappointed in.
