Post-offer lack of motivation
For context I go to an ultra non target state school and got an IB SA before school started this semester and have started to not care.
I came into college a grinder, I had above a 4.0 GPA and had internships my freshman and sophomore summers while also having an active social life.
Now I am a junior and after receiving my SA offer I get the feeling that none of this shit matters anymore since I have achieved what I came here to do. I’ve started back on old high school habits (eating like shit, not working out, playing video games). And while my grades aren’t bad I don’t have the same kind of hyper focus I had when I came in, the motivation and hunger I had is now gone. I feel like the man on campus since no one ever does IB from my school but at the same time I feel super unmotivated and I think the main reason is because I’ve accomplished my biggest / hardest goal.
Has anyone dealt with this, feels similar to senioritis but I’m only a junior and need to tighten shit up.
Any and all advice appreciated.
If your greatest motivation in life was to be an IB summer analyst, you should aim higher. That's like being an actor and being satisfied with becoming an extra in a slasher film with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 37%.
unenlightened shitpost lol
Bro, no one cares. Please stop calling attention to yourself
You can always be thinner, look better
Get your head out your ass and keep grinding. An SA offer means nothing and by your wording in the post it sounds like it gave you a huge ego. If anything it should be motivation to keep grinding hard.
Nothing is guaranteed in this market and at any time your firm can revoke your offer or you can fail to get a return offer. You will then be stuck with your dick in your hands and a bad gpa because you wanted to fuck off your junior year bc you did good interviewing and got an offer lol
Cmon man, do better
You shouldn't really revert to this mindset...it's a bad way to enter into your SA. During your SA you have to prove that you work hard enough to deserve a spot as An1, and you should have a grinder mindset going in
You lack purpose. You’ve reached the peak of your previous mountain and now you don’t have anywhere to climb.
Find another pursuit, something to work towards. Set yourself a goal and get at it. Simple. Just recalibrating what previously made you tick.
i feel like this is the only real advice here.
That's the problem of being surrounded with losers at your school ngl. Realistically if you were around gunners at Wharton with top tier offers you wouldn't be getting so complacent
What does ultra non-target mean?
