Professors will never teach me faster than I can teach myself.

This. I was watching John Adams and he made an excellent quote when speaking to his son, "A scholar is made alone and sober." It's going to be my mantra for my senior year at college.




That quote basically sums up my senior year (graduated in 2012). I found that after studying enough like that and doing well as a result, other people who do the same are more willing to befriend you.

Then if either party have questions about the material, they have a fantastic outlet to ask them to. Then acing a class is really manageable.
