things i wish i had the answers to

1. why does it seem like everyone in class is way smarter than i am?
2. if so, how and what did they do to achieve their levels of intelligence, which i am clearly missing out on?
3. is there any way or anything i can start doing now to catch up on whatever crucial intelligence-forming part of life i missed out on?
4. why does everyone have so many things to ask in class, and not just questions, but well formed and well informed questions that were obviously thought up on the spot during the course of the lecture?
5. will i ever become a smart, intelligent person that can take on a university education????????

currently struggling to keep myself afloat in the swimming pool that is university. any help would be most appreciated. as i have been telling everyone who will listen, it seems like my classmates are on a fibre optic network and i'm still on dial up. beep boop. kill me.
