| do you go to my high school? lol. im exactly the same. i think in a way, high schools really disadvantage smart kids. i have never had to work in my life in school and i have the exact same feelings and worries about college. i'm attending a top 5 LAC next year, and everyone there probably can whip off a 5 page essay about some novel in no time. i have written 1 essay all year. in most of my classes i can just memorize formulas without understanding any of it. i have NEVER lived up to my full potential for anything in HS. i always seem to be "good enough" for my teachers because there was simply no competition. most of my peers next year can probably understand poetry on their own, or know all sorts of stuff about history that i just crammed for before the tests.
damn. |
