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.

    It was one course (had a you fail the course if you got a sub 40% on the final) and I was able to rewrite the exam in the summer, loss of structure killed me coming from hs. Was definitely a wake up for me as well, had study groups and roommates in subsequent years which helped me (and unhealthy quantities of caffeine)

    Got diagnosed with ADHD around a decade after graduating, which explained pretty much everything looking back.
