Eli, I also didn't study much my first couple of years because I was at a school where classes were not that difficult and I took easy classes, so it was not necessary. Then I transferred and started taking upper division courses and it became very necessary.
sketchball, your idea is great. I once heard that you have to treat school just like it is a job. During my last two years, from 8 to 5, I was always in class, working, or studying. And the studying often extended into the night so that average hours per day for outside of class study were about 3. And I still feel like I could have done better (4 a day would have gotten me a 3.9, I have no doubt).
And about the paper thing. Start them as soon as you can. As soon as you get the assignment, if possible. It will save you stress and your grades will be better.
