Have you ever felt too dumb for college?!


Question: Have you ever felt too dumb for college!?
Have you ever felt too dumb for college!?
I'm really starting to question my intelligence!. All throughout high school I was in honor classes, and this is the first time I feel stupid!. No one else seems to have a problem with the material!. I'm wondering if it's the stress of all the assignments and not the actual material itself!. Could it be that I just get stressed out about it and then set myself up for failure!? I just think it's so overwhelming!.

Ok im only 16 so havent been to college/uni yet but i kno many who have!.

Perhaps back in school you were taught with more help!. (the teacher might gave you hgiher priority and made it a poiint to explain thigns to you if you didnt understand and interacted with you in ways so you wud learn better!.)

In college/uni to the best of my ability the teacher doesnt really interact with the students!.!.!. so like maybe you find it harder to learn since your so used to another way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it is not about being to dumb, maybe you just bit off more than you can chew at one time!. It is not uncommon when you start college to do that, classes are more demanding than high school and require more study and assignment time!. Maybe delaying a more difficult class till next semester will help!. In the future, try mixing mixing up the difficulty of your classes, throw a couple of elective easy classes in there so you have more time for the difficult required classes of your major!. It is a time management, juggling act even for the most intelligent students!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. The problem with high school is that the work is easy enough where you can get by without having to study!. So, most kids never really learn how to study!. When they get to college studying is a must and since most don't really know how to study, they will probably fail!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I thought i was dumb, but i graduated just last may!. Maybe have a planner or get some notebook paper and list things on what you need do!. I know that really helped me and check them once it's done!. Just take about 12 hrs or 15 hrs of college!. Because if its too overload, how would you manage to sleep and work!.!.!.Take a few fun classes also with your major classes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi
I don't believe you are too dumb! You are just being hit with a whole load of new information on many different subjects and it takes time to process that!. Just get organised!.!.this helps!. Make sure your notes are up to date and legible!.!.try and read a little before a tutorial so you are aware of some of the jargon!. Ah!.!.jargon!.!.colleges just love to use the "in" words of their genre!.!.see I am using one!.!.discourse!.!.that's another!.
I learned to check out the meanings of tose words that are usually not used outside of a lecture and essay!. I always carried a dictionary ,that really helped me!. Try and get a study buddy/pal/group for moral and work support!. If you are still struggling talk to student services or whatever is in place for help!.
I am sure it will all become clear with a little time, less panic and confidenceWww@Answer-Health@Com

I used to study and study and study at high school, but I never went to polytechnic until I was an adult about ten years later!. I studied just as hard and gained a couple of merits which encouraged me more!. The adults had a study group as well to help us during the class breaks so that we had less homework to take home after school!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When you're not working on school work, take some time for yourself to relax, martial arts, painting, writing, blogging, just hanging out with friends!. Slow down, and breathe, stay calm, it's okay!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
