I'm considered "smart", i'm good at math and writing, stuff like that. Everyone is always asking what honors classes i'll do in highschool (im in 8th grade) and what I want to do in college and pressure me alot. Truth is; I rarely do homework, I sit on my butt all day and only do whats required in class, I only do it faster than most. Everyone expects me to be something great, but I just want to relax, have fun, and be average. I don't need something great. It sucks.

I feel a similar way, except I do want to do really well, and consistently (ish) do. Academia is just something I don't struggle with - even hard work and challenges can be worked around fairly easily. I too am very lazy, and quite often ignore homework for days on end until it's due. I don't know what this'll mean for my later years of school, but I think my advanced level of academic skill has to count for something.
I think I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

There seems to be no less than 10 of us, given likes and comments at the time of posting.
I have made it through high school, and college. It took a lot of soul searching, and trying my dream, before I realized that sometimes doing what you want isn't fulfilling. I chose a career that allows me to live life like a video game of my own. I am a private investigator. I didn't want the responsibilities of being a police officer, and anyone can be a security guard (fun job though, security). I won't lie, RDJ and Cumberbatch are to thank for helping me choose.

You gotta count your blessings. How many people would kill to have your problem? Be proud of yourself or else you're going to be miserable, always thinking the grass is greener.
As someone in Law School, my only advice to you is don't do it if it isn't your passion. Law School is tough and the only thing that gets you through it is knowing that it's the only way to start doing what you love one day (practicing whatever field of Law you're interested in). Good luck!!!
