Let me just explain something that is really annoying me. (This is aimed at Americans)

People keep asking me "How's school?" and I want to say thank you for the consideration but I keep telling you I'm not in school, I'm in college! Then I get the "wow you must be super smart to be in college. How did you get into college at 16?" So basically in the UK, the system works like this:

Primary school - 5 - 11 years old
High school - 11-16 years old
College - 16-18 years old
University - 18+ years old

It's just annoying me that people keep calling me smart and people keep asking me the same questions. I'm not smart okay, it's just the way the system works. Hopefully I stop getting these questions because they're starting to annoy me. Obviously it's not you fault you don't know this (if you live in the US) but I've been getting this question every day for weeks now. Stop asking please.
