<p>overachiever92: In life some things go our way and other times it doesn’t. Getting a B is not the end of the world and it doesn’t kill anyone. Even though you are striving for A’s you are bound to get B’s every now and then. Nobody is perfect. Surely you can agree that a B is better than a B- or a C+. </p>
<p>To the OP: Welcome to UCLA. It is a completely different ballpark and the expectations are extremely different. It is normal to come off to a bad start. You are new and adjusting, so don’t beat yourself about it. Consider your first quarter as a learning experience and try to reflect on what things you would have changed and try to implement it this quarter. Good luck because as a Chem major you are going to be taking weeder classes along with engineers and premeds (chem, physics, and math series), so you are in for the ride of your life.</p>
