Wasn't so much the difficulty as the sheer quantity of homework combined with lots of unbroken butt-in-seat hours, most of which weren't very useful. A start time so early I had to wake up at like 6:45 didn't help, either. Throw in lots of classrooms with no or insufficient windows, and certainly none in the hallways. Thanks for causing me to develop seasonal depression it took me more than a decade to get over, high school. Thanks a whole bunch.

But yeah, coulda CLEP'd out of at least a year of college if I'd known better. No-one told me that and I didn't figure it out until it was too late. Never even occurred to me that I could knock out all those credit hours on the cheap with some very, very light studying over a summer. I mean college is supposed to be really hard, right, otherwise what's the point? eyeroll
