The biggest struggle (students face) is being consistent in your effort, and the fix for that is probably just learning how to be a university student. Third and fourth year students study about the same amount, and first year students have to learn how to do that now, most haven’t learned how to study like that yet.
Consistency is key; and students should trust the system. I think people feel like they were getting fooled in high school, but in university nobody is trying to fool you. We’re trying to make you as smart as possible. Every piece of advice you get from university professors is given for a reason that’s intended to make you better."
