I wouldn't consider doing well in university as a characteristic of being independent. Being independent means doing things yourself. You can be independent but fail university.

thats exactly the point im making in that post. Mcheddenite was the one that said not being independent will lead to not surviving university.

You compared doing things at the last minute and independence, then you used doing things at the last minute and doing well in university to support it. Meaning that doing well in university is being independent...

no, i did not support 'being independent' with 'doing things at the last minute and doing well in university'.
if you care to read the first sentence of the post you will see that i wrote
'leaving things to the last minute and being independent are two completely different things' |

Followed by: " it is completely possible to do extremely well in university while still leaving things to the last minute"
I thought I made a mistake after your initial reply but I read it again multiple times.

that's a completely different point. i'm not supporting 'not being independent' with that statement, again, the first sentence points that out. i'm explaining to mcheddenite how leaving things to the last minute you can still do well, regardless of whether you're independent or not.
basically mchendite said i need to be independent or else i will not survive university, but i never said i wasn't independent, i said i leave things to the last minute.

Hmmm, I read his post as "starting to search things for yourself" as being independent.
But yeah, if it's a different point then your post makes sense. I guess I'm just used to writing essays...

Lol, no. Sometimes it's hard to read what others are trying to say. I've read messages the wrong way a handful of times on the forums.
