Stuff and Such

Ya all are hella out of my league on the topic, just wanted to slightly butt in as someone who failed uni.

I blamed professors for their outdated approach. Especially the long, dry lectures...oh my god these were terrible. Because I was doing them wrong. All my years at school we were taught to write down everything, which doesn't work in uni. So yeah, first fail. Best part, in high school there were two professors who valiantly fought to teach us how to take notes. Mostly failed.

Second fail is...I've gone there because everyone was pushing me to go there. I wasn't ready. Had no passion, no motivation, no target. I wondered how certain people were doing better than everyone else - only after I fixed my mental health I noticed that these people had some target. They worked towards something specific - wanted to advance in one of the fields, or were curious about topic, and thus things came easier to them. Most of us were...more like jellyfish. We were there, wherever current takes us we go, most folk had barely any or none at all idea what they want except "finish studies". God how it hurts to look at all the opportunities I not only didn't take, but didn't even notice...

Overall, primary, middle and high school are made for people to flow with the current and find out what interests them. To take them through science. But uni seems more like a freelance guide on a tour. You need to know what you wanna do or see first, guide will then help you get most out of it.

But I don't believe it's students fault for failing either. Why the hell are people funelled so hard to uni? Most folk this age don't know shit yet, are still trying things out. Were I to take two year pause between high school and uni, I may have not drifted.
