My atar score goal dosn't appeal to me anymore?

At the start of the year i was so determined, pretty much no facebook/internet after school, constant studying, smashed every sac, achieved mostly A+ in all sacs i did, than came the term holidays which flew by, and i was back into it (term 2) however my motivation seemed to quickly vanish. Dont know why, dont know how but all of a sudden, i started questioning my study. Why am i studying? I know it sounds silly and the obvious answer is: to do well. But c'mon, i mean, if you truly wanted to be an Accountant in life for example and that was your goal, being an accountant, you think an atar of 10 will stop you?.  No way. It will delay you but not stop you. Now im not trying to turn people off from trying their best in year 12 but i have lost a lot of motivation ever since term 2. Hopefully ill recapture it somewhere but i cant see it happening. When i think about what atar score i want, i get more of a "meh" response from myself instead of "yea i need this score because i want to go to this uni and i want to do this"

How can i get my motivation back?

I know how this feels. I only needed a 55 ATAR to get into my course. I probably could have hit the 90s if i did six subjects instead of five and if I spent a bit more time studying. I still studied harder than all of my friends and all I heard was "bro you need 55, why are you studying, go to sleep brah, etc".

What do you want out of VCE? A specific score? Entry into your course? Find your goal and you will be motivated. For me, it was to simply enjoy VCE and get into my course. I achieved both of those things.
