<p>I had so much hype about starting ccc, I said I'd maintain 4.0, study every day, get a job, join clubs etc</p>
<p>But college started and I've maintained a 4.0 with a couple classes and now I'm just not in the mood to study every day, Im not sure if Im thinking too much because I do study the night before and have done okay so far...</p>
<p>I've come to a point where I gave up on my first choice and will just try USC so I can afford getting B's...</p>
<p>Am I just not motivated to do work or It's just a stage?</p>
<p>It def gets that way. Like my second semester of college before I wanted to transfer I was like I'll get 4.0 and i ended up like letting myself slip and relax b.c i just didn't want to be there period. I put up all my rejection letters on my wall of my room next to where i study to remind myself what I was working for.</p>
<p>ahahaha, I felt that way too but setting an A standard is still ok. You can slack off a bit but don't let that lower your standard. </p>
<p>In reality, we may not perfectly accomplish what we plan but at least getting close to our high standard is also an ideal win/win situation. That is just my opinion on work ethics.</p>
