I don’t remember anything I learned?

what did you study?

if you don’t use it and think about it everyday people will often forget unless they have a really good memory. i forgot most of my gen ed.

i still remember learning about negative and positive externalities in economics but that’s it. i never declared a major and dropped out after 2 years, i didn’t know what i wanted to do for a living.

Maybe you don’t have instant recall but it is there some where just waiting for the right stimulus to come out. If you don’t use it , it goes dormant.

The only thing I remember from college is from my journalism class that it’s presume NOT assume and it happens Sunday NOT on Sunday. I also remember some Spanish and like two phrases in Japanese.

Because unfortunately most college classes are about regurgitating information and not actually learning. Gen eds mostly anyways.

I took like over 130 credits. I didn’t take all gen eds. I took some master level classes. Its bull, my mind just doesn’t work the same. It’s like college didn’t even matter. It was a waste, and a lot of heartache and failure. It’s not good going through 8 years of college when first being diagnosed. Not a good idea at all…

I bet if you had to do stuff that involved your major courses you’d probably remember more than you thought?

I don’t mean to sound hopeless, but when I was left to write a basic biology II paper, my professor said it wasn’t based in reality. I didn’t know how to do basic lab techniques, didn’t know how to look in the microscope, I let my lab partners fill in the gaps for me cause they knew I was struggling. One was pre med. I also don’t remember any of the concepts, they were just explained pictures in class, but were very fleeting when I learned them. I couldn’t keep track of all the labels and concepts. It didn’t come naturally at all. That was at my best, and then I got stuck on fluphenazine decanoate. That ruined me even more after that.

I couldn’t even keep track of central dogma

I took over 130 credits too. And can’t remember much at all either. Such a waste. And, I lost my license to practice my profession too.

Sorry to hear that, at least you were able to pass the license test. That’s the bright side

One thing I remember from college is that a coordinating conjunction is followed by a comma if the rest of the sentence is an independent clause. My professor took me aside to tell me that after returning a paper I had written. Apparently I didn’t know.

The other thing I remember is how to say “I am 22 years old” in German. Ich bin zweiundzwanzig jahre alt.

That’s all that comes to mind.

Because you were in a drunken, drug fueled, haze through most of it? Just kidding.
