I think that a lot of students feel a desperation when they don't seem to *get it* right away when it comes to learning something new. As a college student myself, the pressure on young adults is SO high to do well in school. It's frustrating to look at a classmate or a peer and they seem to master material so easily. Studying is truly a skill. I'm still learning how to do it myself. It takes a lot of patience and a lot of effort. I think a lot of people consider it a chore - but remember - you study to learn. It's the learning that counts.

It might not be fair that some people have to work harder in some areas, but I can guarantee you that you are naturally gifted in either another subject or another area (like art or music or you name it) in which other people might struggle.
