ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sophomore slump

When you start something new, like being a student in high school or college, you might feel really excited and do really well at first. But sometimes, after you've been doing it for a little while, you might start feeling a little tired or bored. This can happen to students in their second year of high school or college, and it's called a "sophomore slump." It's like feeling a little bit stuck or unmotivated, but it's okay because lots of people go through it and it usually doesn't last forever. Just keep trying your best and asking for help when you need it, and things will get better soon!
