Is there still a chance to stop faking my way through school?

Home More advice Education & School

I think I have a problem. Im 19 years old and in my second year of college. I realized that throughout my education I've been taking the easy way out for everything. For tests I would just memorize stuff and not actually learn the material thoroughly. I never really read the books we had. I am now finding it sort of hard to talk like an adult without sounding like a kid. So my question is.. Is there still a chance for me to catch up and be really smart and not "fake" smart? Do you think since I've made it this far in school that maybe I am smart or is it that I really just faked my way all these years? or am I just going crazy..
