incoming freshman here, has anyone received their physical acceptance package?

when should i expect to get one? and what will it include

on the surface, most people would assume that I'm a hard-working, successful 17 year old. for reference, my parents put a lot of pressure on me to do well in high school, and I will be going to an Ivy League university this fall.

but in reality, i'm one of the laziest people i know. my screentime is 7+ hours which consists of endless social media doomscrolling and video games. I never do homework for any of my classes, but i'm able to get high marks by studying the content a few hours beforehand. when i got diagnosed a few years ago, my psychiatrist said that I had all the signs of ADHD, except for low grades.

if I compare myself to my classmates, i feel relatively more successful despite working much less hard. but if i compare myself to my own potential, i feel like i could be doing a lot more.

after getting into university, i've completely given up on school, which makes me feel even more guilty. yesterday, i was supposed to submit a 8-month long 5000 word research paper for a AP class at school. i still haven't even started the paper, and i feel terrible because my teacher really liked me and my topic.

i feel as though i can only do something if i put myself under a lot of pressure, but this habit is affecting my mental health and those around me.

how can i learn to do things normally?

I'm an incoming freshman to mccormick. i booked a trip with some friends that overlaps with my ap calculus ab exam. if I decide to take the exam, i will have to miss half the trip which i don't want to do.

is skipping calc i and ii a major advantage at NU? can i still skip if i do well on the placement test?
