The first two years were quite humbling, but I managed to regain my confidence the last two years and in grad school.

it was the grind for me

My illness keeps me on check.

No, it didn’t.

People don't realize that it's not necessarily the people with super - high I.Q s that get the best grades .Studying is the technique; it's the people who learn the skill that do really well .

Picking the wrong one. Way too many people who came out of it struggle. It's just a glasshouse with zero practical preparation for real life.

No I didn't expect anything one way or another.

University pissed me off, but it never humbled me. University can be compared to 'organized religion' where you don't need either in life but it costs you a ton of money to find that out the hard way.
