Same fella. Your German so you can't fall back on cheap, rural living like an amerifat. I hope living off the government is fulfilling friendo
iktf. Thought high school was easy as fuck. Aced all my exams, perfect SAT score, perfect AP scores. Nearly failed out of college
I failed out of university. Then I enrolled in a community college, transferred to state university, then got my bachelor's. Success is moving from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
Oof, I'mma bout to fail. Thanks for the words of wisdom lad
German kids learn real analysis in freshman math class while the Americans do some calculus 2 or something even if in STEM. Americans by the time they finish undergrad are somehow caught up. Amazing, American productivity = wow
same but it got me in 4 grade on grammar school (not gymnasium that's a gym nigga) when I started taking specialized classes and ran out of my TV/common sense knowledge. Now I'm looking for a job
>mfw this happened to me except I started getting JUSTed in middle school rather than uni
>mfw I was literally getting nothing but Fs by 8th grade
I think you guys really are very intelligent, but you're running courses that are impossible to pass just by being intelligent, so you need to acclimate or fail.
You've gotten pretty far just by fucking-off, but now it's time to be conscientious or die.
