I struggled a bit with math and science. Ok - maybe an understatement. I failed both college bio and logic courses and had to retake them. I'm an extremely orderly person, but I, for the life of me, c...

In my experience, high school required more speaking than college. By that I mean that there's less pressure to speak by peers/teachers. It also depends on your classes. I am majoring in computer scie...
