brother, i also had a same situation like you. Second summer in OC, i thought i WILL NOT work as hard and as many hours as my first summer. guess what happened? I lost my scholarship, i got a shitty shit 2.0 gpa. I missed an A in one class by .02 percent and B on one class my failing to submit a homework. My cummulative GPA was very low and on top of that now I had to work lot more hours to pay my tuition. I was very much depressed. The money i can make no problem, but my GPA was very low and didnt know how to get it back up.
I thought long and hard and changed my major and from there on..I stopped partying as much i did before. I was determined the next semester atleast I will try my hardest and let my past semester be my motivation. I would come home after every class and go over the content of the day, i started organizing my tasks better. next semester I got 4.0 and got into 3.5+ GPA for next 4 semesters straight and dean list each time. I got my scholarship back and also departmental scholarship, got bunch of internships and now I have job too. What I am trying to say is, maybe you are also getting bad grades because studying something you are not even interested on. Try to take some easier classes and something that interests you. You should still socialize and party but never let it affect your study. Dont be all hungover on finals week. If you have shitty roommates who are bothering you just find new ones. You are here in states to study, not party. your party frens wont come and help you if you run out of tuition funds or after you graduate you wont find a job due to your GPA..You can party again once you get good grades back,, It will only take couple semesters of hard work and your GPA will bounce right back up, after couple good semesters, you will have automatically developed good studying habits..Dont be depressed bro just put in hardest work just next semester and i know it will get lot better.
