I'm a third year undergraduate and I've noticed some very strange shifts in behavior from, say, a year ago. I actually study more than ever now, and my grades are higher. However, I absolutely can't bring myself to care about academics anymore. I never get stressed for exams. Studying and problem sets have become a mechanistic habit when necessary, nothing more. Which wouldn't be so bad except I have no idea where I'm going/ what field of physics I want to work in. I'm starting to worry about my lack of direction combined with my lack of worry, if that makes sense...
Or maybe I'm just finally used to a college workload? I don't know, any advice or perspective? I feel pretty drained of emotion nowadays in all academic contexts (feeling great socially but that's different). I don't care, emotionally, about academics anymore, though I'm aware of their necessity or maybe just habituated to them. But this doesn't feel like a man on a mind crusade anymore. It's like I'm chewing without tasting. Guidance?
