This happened to me whereby HS required zero studying but uni absolutely did. I took a year out and did sh!t jobs realizing if I didn't graduate then this was what waited. Then when I started uni and realized it was hard. Very Hard. I realized I'd need to study hard or end up in said sh!t jobs. I'd never been more motivated in my life. Uni to me wasn't about finding myself and overindulgence in nonsense concepts like rite of passage. It was about getting a bloody academic degree.
