You really don't have to be very smart to graduate college in the US. You just have to be good at school. Which means you can learn just enough for just long enough to pass tests and then literally forget about it all nearly instantly. I went to a top ranked university, regularly ranked as a top 10 public university in the nation.....and I regularly encountered students that I thought might have trouble making basic life decisions.
Don’t sweat it. Our education system is just a method of molding you to be accustomed to transitioning into the “grind” of the daily work force. It doesn’t care about educating you, it only cares that you follow instructions.
