Same. All my childhood my parents heard “your son is very intelligent, he just needs to apply himself”. They told me while scolding me, but all I heard was “he’s intelligent”. Then university started, and I was the one left behind because I had no method and I just sucked at studying.

I'm shit at being a student.

I never learned to study but somehow coasted through colleges on Bs and Cs. Got the degree and that’s all that matters!
