Burnout from Summer

I'm in my last year of college and want to make the best of it, but I feel burnt out from my SA stint. I don't have the motivation to study, but I am doing well because the classes that I am taking aren't too hard. I still go to the gym and hang out with friends on weekends, and pursue hobbies that I have. I just feel so tired and burnt out. Before working this summer, I was always a go-getter and grinded to get the SA position so I don't know where that motivation went now. It's not like I don't enjoy finance like I love keeping up to date with market news and reading about different things that are going on, but I don't have the motivation to do school work or start new projects that I might be into.

I'm returning to the firm I was at this summer and I don't want to seem like I'm ungrateful for the position I'm in considering how tough the recruiting scene is right now, but has anyone also ever felt this way and does anyone have any advice on how to get over this slump?

 

Same - i am doing enough to get by class but I am doing more of what I enjoy/ going out with friends gym, basketball, video games. I haven't followed the markets since SA ended. I'll probably start some months before i start FT so i am prepared
