Being bored is making me feel very anxious

Hi all,

I am a junior at college. Since last Spring I have been doing everything I can to get a SA IB offer. I finally got an offer which I accepted and am very happy with.

But now, I feel bored and anxious. I have ADD which doesn't help.

My classes keep me busy but not insanely busy. I live with a lot of friends off-campus so I am never alone. I party on the weekends, I get off-campus too. I go to the gym, and I have a job

But I still just feel bored which is making me feel anxious. It has been worse ever since I accepted the offer and stopped recruiting. I don't want to feel this way. I am a goal-oriented person. It just so happens my biggest goal finally was realized. At the same time, I feel busy, not busy enough where I would want to start a business or something like that.

Sometimes I find myself constantly checking my email to see if anyone is getting back to me about previous interviews. Which I decline because I like my offer. I have also been helping my friend prepare for his superdays. I don't know what is wrong with me. I don't want to feel this way. I don't think this is an IB thing, it is just a mental problem I have.

I just feel like I am a highly functional anxious person. Is anyone able to relate here, and maybe offer some advice?

Please help.
