I want to have the same drive and self-discipline I had in high school.

This really ambitious goal spurred me on. But now that I'm here, I don't have that anymore.
Kitten,

You're going to love following my blog. I just dropped out of graduate school. I have written articles that articulate exactly what you're going through.

It sounds like you aren't passionate anymore. It's up to you to determine whether dropping out is the best path. It was for me, and I wrote a blog post about how much better I feel now.
