So I'm sort of stuck as to what I should do. The only thing that makes me go to class everyday is the fact my mother paid for me to go as of now, and I need to pass for federal and state financial aid to pay. If I don't pass, she won't get her money back from the state, and she'll have to pay my entire tuition.

I think one has to be self-directed to get much benefit out of what one does. I know I barely got through college in the 60's and 70's, graduated with a 2.000000023 GPA
and it wasn't until I was nearly 50 that I figured it out and started on a second degree (and then grad school) getting a 4.0 in my major instead!
You have to figure out what you want, not what's "expected" or would be nice, etc. I'd take this semester to get the grades/do the work for your mother's money sake (and so you can return easily if you decide to) and then try something else that you will have worked on finding this next 3-4 months?
Check out this book; I love it for how it helped me:
