<p>I assume you are a freshman?
Lots of freshmen have trouble in college. Even those who breezed through high school. Look at it as a challenge. If you can get C’s then you can get B-'s or B’s, at least in some classes.</p>
<p>Getting off to a bad semester is discouraging but not the end of the world - the trick is to figure out what happened and how to fix it. You will not fix it doing more of the same.
How did you do first semester? Do you have C’s in everything because you are putting all your energy into getting a C in physics?
Were you sick and missed class?<br>
You need to sit down with someone - an advisor and talk about your classes and your grades so far. Figure out a plan and follow through with it.<br>
Lots of kids in engineering have trouble - you are not the first and won’t be the last.<br>
My nephew took 5 years to graduate in engineering because he failed DifEq and had to reatake it. He still had several job offers and is a very successful engineer looking at grad school 4 years out of college.
If you have the will then there is a way.</p>
