I'm not saying this to brag, because I'm absolutely fucked like the person in the picture says, but "learning" in school was piss easy, pretty much only required being there. For me there really wasn't a "being shit" period, at least that was noticeable to me. Then I got to college and I don't know if it was the change in how classes were structured and scheduled, or that natural aptitude had taken me as far as it could, or both, but I didn't know how to cope with the effort it required, because I never had to develop that skill prior to that. Frankly, I still haven't. So yeah, I totally get this post.
Same here for me. Learning in school never took any effort at all. I was always good enough with little practice that I didn't push myself to do more.
College is the great equalizer that shows people they're not as gifted as they thought.
Ironically I found school easily 10x harder than anything at university, bachelors and masters level included.
I think thats just how it works. If you found school harder then you probably developed some skill or habit knowingly or otherwise, but if you found it easy then you just never did put in effort to develop such skill. Of course this does not apply to all.
