I skipped a grade in elementary school and had done calculus before high school. By the time I got to college, I decided I didn’t care for any of that and spent my extra mental energy on forming positive relationships with the people around me and couldn’t be happier. Graduated without honors with an ok gpa but have an excellent professional network and friends and family around me that care.
Wonderful. As I approach the end of my college years, I rue the fact that I didn't put myself 'out there' early enough. What kind of people you have around you might be the most important thing for young adults today.
The key to success in college is to get stellar marks AND do internships and stuff AND network, network, network. If you're lax in any of these, you could be in for struggles in your career.
