> In high school, smart students can often get away with not studying. In university, your attitude and mindset towards failure and learning becomes much more important.

In high school I rarely opened the textbook and did fine. I ended up on academic probation my first semester in college because I had no idea how to study (or even that I had to study). While it was a rough first year, it was definitely needed.

this was me too. School was easy, I guess the real world is hard. I am still figuring out how to learn.
