Hello from another former gifted child ;-) I went to a normal school and everything was easy for me. And I wasn't prepared for real life at all. And I'm still not fully ready. So University was very hard AND boring to me. Hard - because I expected from myself to learn instantly. Boring - because University was very... weak and uninspiring (that's a norm in most ex-USSR countries). But the real problem wasn't in them - real problem was in me. Being a little bit more wise now (I hope :-) ) I could truly accept myself as I am and start BUILDING, instead of WAITING for some genius idea to come out randomly. I wish you (and myself too) luck :-)

After thinking a few minutes I have a thought... I want to EARN my privilege to be gifted again! I want to be able to use all my potential instead of waiting for it to be manifested by itself. I hope it's not too egocentric ;-)

@thecanadiankiwibirb4512 Do what makes you more happy! :-) Life is not about achievements: you could be a very depressed billionaire. If current life make you light and happy - don't change it! But if you feel that you could do more (and you WANT to do it) - start doing it! Maybe just on weekends. Maybe just on evenings - every little time helps ;-) It's easier said than done tho...
