Well, in a lot of majors (Engineering in my case), the first two years are by far the hardest. They do that on purpose, to weed out the slackers or people that can't cut hard, consistent work. My freshman year I had somewhere around 500 or so Engineers starting, and by the end of Sophomore year, there was literally about 120 or so. After that, we break up into engineering disciplines and finish out our college careers.

On a lighter note, I have only 9 months left until I get my Master's in Power Engineering! Go go Titus brains!
