When you know that you actually have a chance somewhere, it makes you just not want to try anymore. But you have to, because even though you are accepted to college, that doesn't necessarily mean they can't send you another letting in the mail saying they canceled your enrollment.
If you read your acceptance letter carefully, it probably says something close to "admission is contingent on the successful completion of the final year in high school.
You have been accepted to that college with the assumption that you will maintain something close to the level of accomplishment that got you accepted into that college in the first place. It is unfortunate that some seniors stop reading their acceptance letter after they have read the "Congratulations" part.
Some colleges ask you, or even make a requirement of, sending in your mid-year and final grades. So, I would think again if you actually want to start slacking off.
