Thinking 'oh if only I had worked I could have gotten that much more' is wrong. You failed to work, therefore you are a failure. Stop defending yourself.

I agree that if you are lazy then you are currently worthless. This does not negates potential however - merely makes the potetial pointless unless you can overcome your issues.

But if someone with potential dies without realising it, did that person actually have potential?
I guess what I'm saying is that not doing something is exactly the same as not being able to do something.
Since they are not able to get off their lazy asses and do something they want to do, it means they are not full of potential, as they would choose not do do shit.
Contrast this to like an olympic runner who was full of potential but lost both his legs in a bizarre t-shirt wearing accident. He was destroyed potential.
If you do not get off your lazy ass, you are not wasted potential, you are just a waste.

The end result is the same, strictly-speaking, but by its very definition potential stands for what could become under certain conditions.

Yeah, might want to try to tone down that ego bro. You're no better than the pre-meds who think they're special just because they're self-proclaimed pre-meds and enrolled in gen chem and intro bio.

Also, it's worth noting that the pre-meds who don't take class seriously or are far too stupid to be doing science are, for the most part, weeded out by gen chem and intro bio, so actually you shouldn't have to deal with chucklefucks come orgo. Instead you'll be dealing with type A anal-retentive pre-meds whose entire lives are engulfed by their obsession to get into med school.

>>2413367

yeah, honestly, I'm just proud to have completed the degree, and to have studied something I genuinely enjoyed (math), which is certainly a better "in" to various jobs than studio arts, women's studies or a psychology 4-year degree. My parents were worried that I might have completely forgotten how to do math while working my shit jobs, and I was a bit nervous about differential equations, but it panned out nicely in the end. I have the knack for the undergraduate level, I just had to re-learn my follow-through on courses.

I had a delayed adolescence. Had I applied myself, I could have kicked ass, but to date, undergrad was the happiest time of my life, and I'm content with beta day work-as long as I can get it.
