College was immensely frustrating to me for this reason. You can’t just put it on the back burner for a few months (or even weeks): you have quizzes and exams coming up five days from now. I’m probably a slow thinker, but there are so many concepts from my engineering textbooks that make perfect sense now that were baffling at the time. There’s something about studying those topics in a relaxed, low stakes environment that makes understanding them much easier.
