Exactly the same. Everyone told me I was so smart in High School, I'm so incredibly smart, I never needed to study. College hit and I failed my first year. Big fish, small pond for sure.

High School (and college probably) should have set up time for teaching me how to study, and high school teachers (and my parents) needed to back off saying how smart I was. Or at least back it up. "I'm glad this stuff comes so easily for you, be ready for college though, because you'll be surrounded by people just like you, and they're expecting even more"
