so we are 2 weeks in to the freshman fall...we went from the this is awesome - to holy sh!t how am going to do all this work to - I am smarter then many of these kids to - I can't write that many papers in one semester- to I need to adjust my study habits - to I need to get in better shape - to I am working on a plan for how this is all going to happen....the boy has grown up more in the last 2 weeks then he did in the last 2 years.

I am sure there will be more bumps in the road but he has come a long long way very quickly. Unfortunately he also has a long way to go!

My son had the same issues his freshman year.  He had good grades in HS, but it came real easily for him.  I cant count on one hand how often he ever had to bring books home or really do any kind of studying for a test.  Things changed real quick in college....a lot more work, more time consuming, oh...and this thing called baseball that took up a lot of time lol.  He didn't have a great freshman year grade wise, but figured things out and is doing great now.  Your son will get used to it....
