Just a thought - maybe you've been having difficulty because you're overwhelmed. College is very different than high school and along with it come a lot of stresses that you've never had before. Try breaking everything down into manageable pieces and tackling them one at a time. Since you have an exam tomorrow, focus on that right now and don't try to multitask with other things that aren't as time sensitive. Then after your exam, take some time to unplug/decompress for a little while and then make a plan of action for the next thing you have coming up. I know that I slip into a fog and can't think straight if I'm overwhelmed. Good luck tomorrow, you'll do great!!

Thank you Foxyface! Overwhelming myself is one of the things that I think threw me off during my senior year. I joined over ten clubs and became the officer of six of them, which was manageable, but never gave me time to breathe. I feel I may have just burned myself out before the real work began, and now I'm left with nothing to run off of. I'll make sure to set aside more time and not take up so many obligations.

Wow, that's really impressive! Don't spread yourself too thin, quality over quantity. When I was in college, I was really active in and lead a group but at the expensive of my grades. If I could go back in time, I would definitely put more emphasis on get really good grades and keeping the extracurriculars as enjoyable things to do to break up my day.
