Chem 131 horrors

Be so honest does it get better because it’s my second semester and for my first semester I only had 2 in person classes (spreadsheets and an English) and the others were all online with one of them having all online open note tests so I can’t tell if I’m just having trouble adjusting or if chem really is that bad? I always think I’m doing decently but then I go to the lectures and I leave like I was just lobotomized.
