Life is completely different outside of school, I can guarantee. This I can say after graduating. I am no longer following metrics, rubrics, and syllabus for me to be graded, which means that my performance does not have the same guidelines anymore and my life’s structure has already changed. And for that, I have to figure it all out on my own.

Exactly!

I am facing the same situation right now. I can feel that I have been stagnant in everything. My work has become a dull and monotonous burden for me. I guess we all face the same situation or phase in our lives. It's up to us on how we deal with it. Unfortunately for me, I haven't deal with it yet.
