My problem is that the akrasia seems to be partially caused by staying in a highly structured environment. I don't have much trouble doing things I believe are beneficial towards my goals.

I currently believe if I pursued option 2 I could get into a top college just like I would have done if I stayed in high school but more useful things would get done.

If this belief is false, then my akrasia would be slightly reduced.
