I had very little trouble mentoring and volunteering my Freshman year of college. I wouldn't consider myself to be a fantastic student by any means, but I work hard. If you are good at managing your time you can mentor, volunteer, and effectively participate in college activities while also doing well in class. If you can't manage your time correctly you need to realize this and correct for it. The first thing to go for me would be mentoring, then college activities, then volunteering.

Don't be scared off from mentoring by people on Chief Delphi. It's doable, and you can thrive in that role. However, nobody knows your situation (and capabilities) better than you (and probably your parents). If classes aren't going well, make a change.
