very good point actually. i had a 4.0 my first year because everything was review/easy. my first exam sophmore year in my first actual engineering course i had the worst test score in the entire course. that was a really tough semester but once i bucked down an accepted i had to study i ended up okay.
also, just because i don't think i've seen it mentioned. those first couple of weeks are hard. like really hard. you'll go from a friend group you've know forever to group of people you've never met. even though i met some really cool people early on (one was my best man) there is this complete lack of history that makes even good people feel empty/shallow to you. it's lonely, it's hard, but it gets a lot better. this is part of why hitting the social scene early is important. i think it took me until about the end of the first semester to really start feeling "comfortable" in my new life.
