This was true for me. Up until college things came so easily that I barely had to do any work to get good grades, so I didn’t. Fortunately college was a kick in the pants for me. First year I went in with the same attitude as high school, that I can just study the night before an exam and ace it. Didn’t go so well in college and I barely passed first year. I got scared enough that hunkered down and really tried for the rest of college. College grades aside I think that experience of having to stick with it and work through adversity really helped me later in life.
