Jan Konopka (known online as xjcl) is a
Master's student from Germany.
Biography
Early Years (1997-2006)
Jan was born in
Essen on July 31, 1997. His parents were
dentists and named him Jan in
honor of
Jan Ullrich who was later convicted of
doping, and so that his initials would resemble
JFK's. He entered school in 2003 rather than 2004 despite being past the cutoff date due to being
the smart kid, and also
skipped second grade.
Outsider at High School (2006-2014)
In
gymnasium, Jan was a total outsider who never drank or was invited to parties. He was bullied and always spent
recess alone sitting next to a garbage can. He became the
class clown, replacing affection with attention. When he was 14, his mother committed
suicide due to marriage troubles.
At school, his strong subjects were math, science, and English. His weak subjects were PE and German. Outside of school, he played
table tennis for many years. Jan spent most of his free time on the
English-speaking internet, because it had the
dankest memes, leading to further ostracism from his
German-speaking peers.
Jan moved to
Aachen to study
computer science at
RWTH Aachen University in
October 2014. To his surprise, he scored on the 98th and 99th
percentile in the university's various "fitness for university" tests, and also scored a 142 on an
IQ test a few years earlier. In his first semester, he got all perfect grades, earning him spots on the
Dean's List (top 5% of class) for the subsequent 2 years. Jan found a beautiful
boyfriend with whom he shared lots of
cuddles and
video games.
Jan's boyfriend broke up with him and Jan stopped going to classes and started
staying at home the entire day
surfing the internet. He is very sad and
lonely every day and
can't talk to people, and is failing academically. Mr. Konopka finished his
Bachelor's degree belatedly (past
de:Regelstudienzeit) and only in the 72nd percentile, while being on track to have a below-average
GPA for his Master's studies.
Jan can't find a way out of his
depression but doesn't want to seek treatment as he has been in
psychotherapy 2 times during high school to no benefit, and observed his mother taking
antidepressants before her suicide, and also thinks his inherent
neuroticism and
autism are innate and not treatable.
