That usually is the case, as I found out my first year. :P instead of high school having grades and points for every little thing, you'll find that some professors take only a few grades, mainly from tests and projects. So, if you do badly on tests and half-ass projects you won't find yourself getting the straight A's you've become accustomed to in highschool.

Plus, you'll find yourself enjoying life more than college.
