I am an international student. I never really enjoyed doing school assignments, unless they enjoyed absolute freedom or creativity (such as "do a project about whatever you want" or to write my personal opinion about something).
I got ok/good grades due to my intelligence. But I hated homework assignments and always procrastinated them and avoided them.
My SAT scores and some independent projects, plus my ok/good grades got me a full scholarship at Bucknell University.
Now I am at Bucknell, and I find that college is all about studying and learning. But if I ever enjoyed learning, it was learning on my own out of curiosity. I NEVER have enjoyed assigned stuff. And I very much prefer creative stuff, like creating languages, codes, and writing personal opinions.
Here in college, I am being taught things. Yet, I hate learning. I want to do stuff on my own creatively... I am struggling, too much studying. This time my intelligence is not enough to get good grades. What to do?
