We decided to make a long read rather short, yep.

What is one thing you wish you had known before starting college?

That was the question on Quora, and Richard Muller, Prof of Physics in UC Berkeley and the author "Now -The Physics of Time" answered in such a way:

"That there are some students who have been to prep school, and they know the score. They seem super smart, but in reality they are just pre-socialized to the college environment. They know how to talk to professors, they know how to study complex material, and they seem completely confident.

The trick is to not be intimidated by them, but to watch them and learn their tricks."

* intimidated = filled with fear

Today we decided to tell you about different types of students, which might be unfamiliar to you:

stellar = a star performer
hard-working = someone who tries
straight A = a student who always gets top marks
plodder = someone who works consistently, but isn't particularly brilliant
mediocre = not bad, average
abysmal = terrible

Were you a straight A one?
