In high school, you were class president, captain of the soccer team, and an esteemed member of the National Honors Society and the Beta Club. Between balancing a part time-job, a successful social life and four AP classes, you conquered high school without a hitch—making you feel more than prepared for what came next: college. But when you arrived, you suddenly realized that not only was everyone else just as qualified as you to be there, you were also surrounded by peers immensely smarter than you. Between exams, term papers, and professors who don't offer extra credit no matter how much you suck up to them, you were immediately forced to realize that college is hard.Like really, really hard. Much like yourself, Penny, from the awkwardly hilarious show "The Big Bang Theory," is constantly immersed in a life far above her mental capacity; nevertheless, Penny remains a role model for us all as she has successfully figured out how overcome feeling dumb all the damn time.
You have the opportunity to fill your days with suspenseful mystery.
When having a conversation with those fabulous people who simply talk to hear themselves talk, just smile and nod—no response is really necessary.
Talking is tricky. People use big words and sometimes, you just can't keep up. Alcohol will never confuse you—well, not until the morning after that is.
Your life is a constant state of bafflement
And being surrounded by super motivated, go-getting overachievers all the time tends to bring down one's self confidence
But there is always this to fall back on
Over the years you have really learned how to truly embrace some of your own distinguishing qualities. So what if intellectualism is not one of them? Work it, girl.
i mean, you do have extensive knowledge about street smarts, so that's something
And one day, you may meet a kind, sweet physicist—and though you may not understand a word he says, it could be love
Group projects are your favorite because you get to share knowledge (and a grade), but they also put on display how little you have to contribute in comparison to your group members.
Okay, so you may not know everything all the time, but that's what keeps it all intersting. You do you, and eventually the rest will follow.
