Loosing motivation after signing offer

Hello fellas, surely many of you have been in this position before. I give absolutely no fucks about classes anymore after a long recruiting cycle, it feels like I’ve accomplished (mostly) everything I need out of college and although I’m taking classes related to my area of interest (Finance) nothing keeps my attention/I’m just extra ADD now I feel like. Been going out more, smoking lots of pot, sleeping a shitton but I’m justifying it because of the offer. My GPA will take a hit so my question is how much does a difference in GPA matter for return offers? How big of a difference can I afford before getting fucked?
