The independence college provides and will demand is much different from high school. College professors are not like high school teachers in the requirements they will ask of students.
The sooner you embrace your independence and find a balance between school and extracurriculars, the better chance you stand to walk for graduation. Nobody will remind you to keep up with your priorities, they are yours and yours alone.
Creating study groups with classmates in each class, as well as dedicating much more study time are things that I had to adjust, but they truly do make a difference in grades and retainment.
