Most have spent their lives in school, which means that, for as long as they can remember, life has been divided into semester-sized chunks. Their days were scheduled, and there were syllabi that spelled out exactly how to get an A or a B. Then somewhere around the age of twenty, life opens up, and the syllabi are gone. There are no more sheets of paper to tell you what to do every day, and no more grades to let you know where you stand.
