Is it that hard to make good grades in college?
It depends on a lot of things, but yes, it can be very hard. That's why it's an honor to graduate with anything near or above a 3.7. And yeah, it depends on what you're good at, the professors, the types of classes you take, etc. But even if you're in a major where you're bound to succeed, some of the completely unrelated gen eds might bring you down. If you're horrible in math, you'll still need at least one math class. If you're awful at writing papers, most schools still expect you to take at least two semester of college level English. Then there are the classes with insane professors, workloads that make you slowly go crazy, and let's not forget the classes where you just don't get it. It's likely that something will pull your grades down.

What grades are considered "good" in college?
i heard that the average GPA of engineering majors is a 2.5. That's just scary and i know that a B- is a 2.7 when calculating GPAs. that's also pretty scary. in high school, good grades are the ones that are around 3.0-4.0, correct? but now in college, i feel like aiming for a 3.0 GPA (flat Bs or B+ i'm assuming?) is total hell. is it really? how much do future employers and grad schools care?
