I think it means the creativity is stuck in the neck of the bottle of beer they are drinking out of.

Sounds to me like this student has drank the cool-aid of thinking that they don't have to be able to *do* so long as they have that degree. Someone is going to hire them based on their paperwork and never actually test them at an interview, or ask them describe which situations they would use the MVVM pattern in and so on.

I think it means the OP is a professional student. They can go to school, study and take tests, thus regurgitating the information they read earlier. But can't actually *apply* the new information to the world, work or projects. There is always some reason not the fault of the students why they can't accomplish. Don't have a big enough computer, don't have enough free time, woke up too hung over think, parents require a sunday dinner in exchange for funding more years of collage. But there is always a reason, and its never their fault.

Some people find nothing but obstacles that hold them back. Others find nothing but ways over, through or around obstacles so they can succeed. It's Zuelajindi's choice which of the two they choose to be.
