That's a very common situation on the street! When you enter university, formal language is often put aside to make way for slang that helps you fit in with the environment and the native speakers. College is a place of rapid change, and using that seasonal language makes you seem "in" the system, but it can cause your classroom English to start to get rusty.
Don't worry, your proper language skills are not lost, you just slept. When you enter a work environment or start writing reports in the native language, you will find that your mind quickly regains your old English. It's like riding a bicycle—even if you sit for years without touching it, if you just ride, things will straighten out.
