How do I get my life back in check?

Question

I just finished my freshman year of college and I have just found out that I got two D's and basically did horrible in my classes. I know people have this happen all the time, but its annoying because this will be my 2nd time not to get high enough grades for my sorority and a small scholarship. I know that my study habits aren't that great, but I seriously didn't sit on my *** all semester doing nothing, plus I was my soroities social and planned our formal (a three day event) all by my self. I dunno I'm just starting to realize that I need to step it up, and work on my grades but I don't know where to start. I really try to study, I jsut get distracted all the time. Any tips??

Well, You can always try to get with encouraging friends and form a study group. Studying doesn't always have to be boring. Whenever i have a big exam to study for I take my Books and a couple of friends and we go to the nearest bookstore or coffee shop. We can get a little off track but we try to keep each other in focus. It also helps alot if you try to discuss with your professors and try to arrange a private session for questions. You'll be surprised how well these things work. Anyway, Good Luck to you!
