College Future…can I Still Do This?

So here is the deal. I am a sophomore at college, I am an RA and I did decent in my Freshman year (3.34 GPA)
I took only the minimum credits to be considered a full-time all Freshman year, and the same is true for this semester.
I finally feel like I know what I want to do for a major, which is International business. I am taking just 2 required classes and 1 Spanish class. I am taking the next Spanish class next Semester because I want to Study abroad in Spain for my Fall semester of Junior year. I am feeling like I am not doing very well in classes. I have become very unmotivated, lazy, and have horrible time management for the time being. Being an RA is a lot of stress sometimes, but mostly comes at the end of the month. I have choir, which is an hour and 15 minute commitment a day. I have an amazing relationship with a girl, but admittedly I spend time over with her instead of doing homework. On top of that all, I was really sick (still am to some degree) at the beginning of the Semester and Have fallen behind in classes. So my grade out look? B or higher in Math, C or Higher in Religion, and a D or Higher in Spanish (more likely a C). I plan to take 2 Summer courses (1 math 1Econ) to catch up in my course credit need and I know I can still graduate on time, but My questions remain
1. Can I still do this? Am I just being stupid and worrying about nothing?
2. What should I do to fix this Semester? Is this Semester going to set me back alot?

    Of course you can still do it. You just need to buckle down and get to studying. I have the same problem. Right now, I’m pretty much buried under homework and what am I doing? Answering questions on Y!A….lol.
    Just try to make a schedule and stick to it. I like to make lists of everything I need to do and then do them by priority. If I have an exam in a week and homework due tomorrow, I will start with the homework. Then, set aside time to spend with your girlfriend but don’t let it interfere with your study time.
    College life can be fun, but it can be busy. Time-management is an aquired skill, I don’t think anyone is born with it. :)

  • It seems like you have a pretty busy life… But it doesn’t mean you can’t make time for everything with out getting stressed out…
    Take abit of time each day and study a bit… like 20-30mins for each class , re pass what you just learnt in class and what you learnt before. My friend does this every day with all her subjects and shes a A++ student. Don’t stress yourself out and take smalls breaks when you can’t concentrate.
    I don’t think your stupid, you can do it still if you put yourself into this(Remember your future depends on this)
    and if you get a bad grade repeat a class, don’t give up! A lot of people have similar problems and think right away that its the end of the world… Its not so don’t be afraid of failing the first time. :)
