    I guess I am the outlier here. In college I half assed a paper, figured I’d take the B so I could just be done. Prof gave me a C and told me he knew I was smarter than that and knew I could do better. I appreciated that he knew I was better than that, and didn’t write my next paper buzzed. With that professors encouragement I ended up changing to a harder major overall
