You'd be surprised. The field of Gender Studies has changed significantly just since I started grad school ten years ago.Literary criticism is a constantly evolving topic as is Continental Philosophy. Unless you stay "in the game", those fields can pass you by pretty quickly, too.
I shared your lack of motivation regarding high school, because I knew (as I'm sure you did) that you could show up on ACT day, do well, and get a fair amount of scholarship money. I think my class rank was like 48 out of 175 or something like that. I copied almost all of my homework and didn't study for a single test, ever.
