Went back to school at 32 and wow, the difference is real

Dropped out at 19, spent 13 years driving trucks and thinking I was too dumb for college. Started taking one night class at the community college in Amarillo this spring just to prove that wrong. I'm pulling a B+ in math, which is insane because I failed it twice when I was 18. Has anyone else gone back and found the material clicks way harder the second time around?

I saw a study once that said adult brains actually rewire faster for subjects you failed before, something about having more life context to hang it on... I went back at 40 for welding certs and the book stuff just landed different this time too.
