College is wild because it really isn’t about intelligence or the ability to understand the material at all. It’s literally just a test of executive function and abled-ness. I had good attendance. I participated in class discussions…possibly to an annoying extent, I got A’s on my tests. When we did group work in classes, it was usually me knowing the answers and everyone else just writing them down from my paper.

But I watched those same people who copied my in-class work and who barely passed tests and who only understood the material enough to regurgitate it, not to expand on it, graduate while I flunked out. Why? Because I didn’t have the executive function to do homework outside of class. That’s it.

Most of the barriers to finishing college have absolutely nothing to do with academics or learning. When I dropped out, it was because my housing situation changed, so suddenly I had to work two jobs just to not be homeless. I had one instructor who would make a point of calling me out in class for looking tired and how it must be because "the material wasn't important to me" (it was actually just because I was usually only getting 4 hours of sleep). Another instructor would lock the door at exactly the start time for his class, despite the campus having notoriously horrible parking issues. I'd regularly have to park at a shopping mall a couple of miles away and take a shuttle, but the shuttle system was so overloaded that you'd have to wait through 2 or 3 shuttles just to get one that could fit another person. Then I'd have to sprint across campus to get to his class at 8:01, just to have to knock on the door to be let in and be made to stand in front of the class and make a public apology for disrupting the class by being late (despite the fact that if he didn't lock the door, I could have just slipped in at 8:01 and not disrupted anything).

So yeah, I ended up dropping out, despite being on the dean's list.

tbh the fact that its almost 2022 is fine, like its fine whatever. the fact that 2012 was now a decade ago? life ruining. inconsolable etc etc
