Really, Really worried about my application/ offers

I’ve had offers from Queen Mary’s, Royal Holloway and Exeter even reduced ones at that , I’d like to firm Queen mary’s but their requirements are higher at ABB
and I genuinely don’t think i’ll meet them ( I take business , media and sociology )

I don’t know what happened but i’ve completely just fallen off my game and I guess i’m tired or something ?
I don’t understand how it happened , why I suddenly fell off with my test scores and revision because I don’t have hobbies outside of school nor do I ever go out , I always revise in some or another through videos , or maybe I scroll on my phone but not so much I do lots of coursework esp for my media NEA, I remember

Royal holloway on the other hand, require BBC which I might be able to get but it’s too far, meaning i’d have to take out a bigger maintenance loan to get accom since i’m two hours away from it
Same with exeter, altough that one i’m really far from

how do I stop feeling sorry for myself, and get back on my revision , I don’t understand why i’ve suddenly lost motivation now-maybe it’s because i’m going to be taking a gap year and defer anyways, so I guess I don’t feel as much of a drive ? how do I stop being so lazy because , I was completely fine before, I would hand in my essays, I’d go to optional open houses despite getting good grades !! and I DONT want to screw myself over now! I don’t even hang out with friends anymore I just keep doing essays and handing them in

I feel like towards the end of year 13 you start to feel burnt out because of all the work you’ve been doing the past couple of years. I would say just stay motivated towards your goal. You know what uni you want to go to so you just got to keep pushing until the end even though it is hard. (don’t forget to give yourself breaks) I am sure that by the end of it you will have done well it’s just trying to get through the last few months.
