Personally, I feel like you're on the right track Vanitas. You should definitely start seeing yourself as a college student and I wish someone told me the very same thing at your age.

Messing around made it that much harder to get into my school and program of choice, elongating my undergraduate process by about two years. Had I settled down and actually put in some effort in high school (you don't even have to work that hard), everything would have probably been much easier.

There's also a reason why the kids who actually studied in high school have gone on to be successful in university; studying and succeeding is infectious and once you get the hang of it, you'll keep at it.
