I think part of it might be anxiety/nerves. Good news is you DO get a fresh start, it is still early in the semester, and there are tons of things you can do.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions in class, or after class during office hours.
Try to get a study buddy or group going with your classmates.
See if your school has a tutoring center or tutors to help you.

And try to relax!

Sometimes, while studying/doing homework for a particular class, I will get stuck/confused beyond return. At that point im just getting worked up and wasting time. So instead of sitting and staring at the same page forever, I will do something else and come back to it later. Most of the time I can see more clearly what I was confused about or what I wasn’t getting before.
