Same. All my childhood my parents heard “your son is very intelligent, he just needs to apply himself”. They told me while scolding me, but all I heard was “he’s intelligent”. Then university started, and I was the one left behind because I had no method and I just sucked at studying.
I did this, but passed the exams.
Until college, then shit hit the fan.

Oh hey, why are you taking about my childhood?
“Doesn’t work to his potential.”
Ugh
I never learned to study but somehow coasted through colleges on Bs and Cs. Got the degree and that’s all that matters!
I’m shit at being a student.
