Keeping grades up.
So throughout my entire life, I have gotten all A's and B's... until now.
I'm a freshman in college, and the change from high school hit me pretty hard. I'm still doing well enough, but I got a C+ and it nearly killed me. I've never gotten that type of grade before! The worst part is it was in Biology, which is my major!!!
I'm doing a little better this semester, but I really want to kick it into high gear and get my grades back up. I have A's and B's in my other classes, but a C+ in the class I'm majoring is unacceptable.
Since I go to a private college, I know it's only going to get worse as the years go on. I'm continuing taking Biology next year and I'm going to start taking Chemistry too.
I need lots of study tips, maybe some good study web sites for each subject (Bio and Chem), and any advice related. Thanks so much in advance!!!

Maybe you should try taking up a new major?
You can always switch if you want to - maybe biology just isn't the subject for you.
You could start something new by taking a class that you like a lot, or think that you'd really enjoy, and seeing if you could switch your major to a class that you do well in because you enjoy it.
UPDATED ANSWER:
If you're not happy with your major, then I'd switch if I were you.
If you don't enjoy that subject, or aren't getting very good grades in it, then could you really stand getting a job in biology in the future?
Hmm...
It just doesn't make any sense to me that you'd want to study a subject that you get bad grades in...
I wasn't trying to offend you in any way, I was merely trying to help.

Have you ever thought about recording your teacher's lectures so that you can go back and listen to them in your free time?
That makes it easier for you to catch things that you missed.
I know you are taking notes. But hif you hear something and you think its not important, write it down anyway.
Also go over your home work before a test or before you turn it in. Write down anything that you thought was a little complicated so you can go over it before a test.
