i'm fairly certain that I'm a pseudo-expert on most issues now and will readily voice my opinion and state what I believe are facts about any topic during general conversation and heated debates.

I felt smart when I was in high school. I was top of the class. Engineering school made me feel dumb. At best I was middle of the pack.

I don't have a job, so no I don't yet, but I am glad I took golf, tennis, and racquetball.

It depends on what I'm doing. When I'm applying practical knowledge I picked up at my internships, I feel smart because a lot of people don't have (and never will have) some of that experience.

When it comes to how my workplace actually operates in its convoluted manner, I feel like a total dumbass.

When it comes to doing some of the more advanced design/analysis stuff I was supposed to remember from college, I feel kinda dumb sometimes. Been a while since I did that stuff and I've got to start doing it again.

I feel like I can better communicate the things I already knew since middle school, but that's just because I used to be a fucking genius.

So dumber.

Dumber, of course.

The whole point of college is to figure out that you're dumb.

When I'm sober, smarter.

When I'm drunk, drunker, which doesn't necessarily translate into "dumber," but which should by no means be taken to imply "smarter."

Smarter but not because of the stuff I learned in class, more so because of the stuff I learned while not in class

I both know more from going to college, and know how much more there is out there that I don't know because of college, and for that I do feel smarter.

But I'll have to wait and see if that attitude holds throughout grad school.
