Oh, the irony

I find it to be pretty strange that during the season, my grades are top-notch, I'm always doing something productive with my time, and my head is always on straight. Of course, once the season ends, one would expect that nothing would change unless I found myself studying harder or working longer. Riight.

After the last game concludes, all of a sudden, I have all this free time. I don't know what to do with it, so instead of studying, I play around; instead of working, I sleep; and instead of managing my time, I goof off. Why is that? I've talked to some of my teammates, who all experience similar slacking periods during the off-season. None of us can figure it out.

If you can shed some light on this backwards phenomenon, please do so.

We're all at a loss.
