I was a lot like you, but I didn't do as many extracurricular activities. I took almost every Honors/AP class, I was on Color Guard, in drama, a couple clubs...really nerdy. Senior year, I just stopped caring. I also had a permanent hall pass from my physics teacher (who I had for 2 other classes in previous years, my favorite teacher). A lot of days my friends and I would drive up to Atlanta for the day (we lived in the metro area). I also dropped some crappy friends. I realized they weren't worth the emotional distress.

It's happening again in college. Most of my classes this semester are minor classes (and physics). I want to do well, but I also have the mentality that I don't need to do as well because I don't have to worry about renewing scholarships. I just need Cs. I'll still put effort into it, but I'm not going to stress myself out.
