Well... Paybacks a *****... I can't seem to get in the rhythm now in college at the end of my freshman year. I know I NEED to buckle down before finals and definitely in my next year if I stand a hope in hell of getting into the pharmD program here.
Anybody else have this problem in college? Got any suggestions on getting in the right frame of mind? And yes it is the chemistry classes that are kicking my butt... I pull my HS tricks in everything else and still make As and Bs.....

Don't continue in college if you're not ready- but there are caveats to taking time off. Some people, having left, never return. I left high school, went into the service for four years and went immediately to college- after one semester, I realized I still wasn't ready (same frame of mind you seem to be experiencing). So I took ten years off and when I went back I graduated with a bs in two years with a 3.51 gpa. I don't recommend a 18-24 hour course load continuously for two years but it worked for me.
The traditional route is not for everyone.
