How can I get back my motivation for school?

Question

I used to love school all my life. I wasn't bad at it, and I'd get As and Bs with the occasional C. During eleventh grade, I had some psychological issues that made it very hard for me to want to be in school at all. But now as a senior, I don't have those issues anymore, and yet I have no drive for school. I'm distracted by writing, drawing, and reading fictional books. What's worse is that I'm taking two college classes in high school. I've already missed three assignments and turned one in late. Every night, I go to bed and tell myself I'll get some work done tomorrow. But I don't. Does anyone have any tips to help me focus and motivate myself so that I can at least pass high school?

You should just try out for you school's basketball team this fall/winter. Playing a sport (like basketball) will help keep you motivated during your final year of high school.

You should have long-term goals you would strive to achieve. For example, maybe you dream to have a house of your own, or change your current job to your dream career, or maybe you want to look like a model. Anything you dream about can become a reality. Things like those previously mentioned might keep your motivated. There should be a reason for that.
