:-( I'm sorry to hear that!!! I think that it's really hard to sudy when you're as busy as our group is... Maybe a little more relaxation time is whatcha need! (And a nice cup of tea.)
College is a completely different environment. I think the most important thing is to not be too hard on yourself; almost everyone does worse than they expect to in their first few months of college. Also, take advantage of the resources Tulane offers. A lot of students are too proud to go into tutoring and writing centers because in high school tutoring was only for the 'not-so-smart' kids. In college, though, tutoring is for everyone so don't be afraid to give it a try for some of your tougher classes.
I totally agree with Ayah on the tutoring thing! I NEVER had any kind of tutors in highschool, but every person I know in college has seen the Student Learning Center for tutoring. It's totally normal, and absolutley helpful!
I'm having trouble with my grades and keeping up on stuff too. I don't really know how to help you, but it's only you're first term of college, and you can always get better your next terms. And give yourself a break, you're still adjusting. Going to college is like culture shock, only without the culture ;)
