be more intelligent

4 years in a Tier-II engineering college has sapped me of half my intellectual abilities..I want to be better now..

or less stupid, exactly

or at least less stupid.

George Costanza commented in an episode of Seinfeld that people think he is smart when in fact, he’s not.
Well that’s pretty much how I feel. I’m tired of feeling stupid. I want to be smart.
I don’t know if it’s just that I’m really insecure but sometimes I think that other people think I’m stupid too. Its been really bad recently…
I’m senior in college in my last semester and I still panic in new situations. I try to tell myself, oh others feel the same way; It’s just that I haven’t done anything like that or I’ve never had any experience with such and such so its okay to be uncomfortable and NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
But deep down, I’m thinking I should know this. People think I’m foolish for being so slow.
Grrr, why do I even care what other people think? If I thought of myself as smart, I probably wouldn’t. That’s the real problem. No matter what or how much I learn, no one can ever know everything, so it will never be enough. I will always feel stupid.

I’m just coming out of two years of mindless rebellion and depression. I used to be intelligent before that, but now the only thing my brain seems to control is my movement.

I’ve heard that prolonged depression can have bad effects on IQ and intelligence. Sadly, it runs in my family.

I wish I could start thinking coherently again. My thoughts appear stupid and I’ve lost interest in learning. Sometimes I think I’m going crazy because everything seems vague and I can’t grasp topics or analyze.

I’d love to be able to think, analyze and judge again. All aspects of my intelligence, from memory to the ability to persevere, are currently in shambles.

I’ll consider this goal achieved once I can think and reason clearly again. Nowadays when I read something, it’s very difficult for me to form an opinion. I can’t even tell why I dislike an article or story!

I really have to get through this. Wish me luck. :) If anyone has any ideas, I’d LOVE to hear. I’ll post about any progress as well. :)

I used to be safely ahead of most of my peers at one point (most considered me the “smart” guy), but I let that go to my head and slept on my laurels.

It’s time to elevate myself to the next level, so I can experience that feeling again.

I guess balanced study of a number of subjects will be the way forward.

I NEED TO STUDY SCIENCE AND MATH….I GOT SEMESTER TESTS COMING UP UGH…..AND I DONT NEED MY MOMMY STESSIN OVER SOMETHIN STUPID LIKE MY GRADES

PPLZ AT MY SCHOOL THINK IM SOOO STUPID…WHEN I HAVE BETTER GRADEZ THEN MOST OF THEM. IM VERY SMART BUT COME OFF AS A DUMBASS. I GUESS ITZ MY FAULT SO WHY AM I BITCHIN. BUT I HATE MY REPUTATION AT SCHOOL….I JUST WANNA GO BACK HOME

I received honors all through school. I was in advanced placement classes, in a talented and gifted program and excelled in the arts. However, since I have been out of school I feel as if my brain is slowly deteriorating. My grammar is slipping and I am losing the amount of knowledge I once enjoyed having. I used to be secure with my facts and could pull literary quotes off of the top of my head to use as references during a conversation. This is getting to be more difficult as time goes on.

Until I can return to college (and even after I go back to college) I plan on teaching myself. Relearning everything I have forgotten, researching topic of interest, etc. I am responsible for my education. I am responsible for being a well spoken and intelligent individual.

I think im pretty intelligent i guess. I do my homework and everything and get decent grades. If i get all A’s and B’s im going to mark this one complete. Even though I know that school isnt the only thing that determines intelligence.
