I'm just asking because I find myself wanting to escape from reality almost constantly when I'm not with my girlfriend. I enjoy being with my girlfriend but when I'm not with her, I feel really unhappy and I want to escape from reality.
I'm 23 years old by the way. In addition, when I watch movies, I almost become saturated with them, meaning I think about them throughout the day and I wish I was casted in the movie.
Overall, I have a pretty good life. I go to college and I have a 3.89 overall GPA. I have a girlfriend who is really sweet and my family love me. But there's a part of me that wishes life was more exciting.
I don't feel like I get enough attention from people.
Answer
No, it would actually be the opposite. You need to be touch with what's going on in the world, and you need to be acutely aware of your feelings as well as being able to empathize with the feelings and situations of any characters you portray. To "lose" yourself in make believe or fantasy is actually a sign of mental illness, or it can lead to mental illness. If you are unhappy or depressed, then you need to seek appropriate counseling.
You also can't find complete satisfaction in life based on one person or persons no matter how dear they are to you. I'm glad you have a girlfriend you love and a supportive, loving family.
It's not unusual to be 23 and question whether or not there is more to life. Intelligence and or lack of intelligence has nothing to do with it because you can be academically bright but immature in other ways.
If you think acting would be an exciting way to be creative and not just trying to run away from your life or from boredom, then do by all means take it up! Consider playing sports as well, or even try jogging!
Just daydreaming will not accomplish anything other than to make you feel even more that you're missing out on something.
Acting also takes a great deal of self esteem, perseverance, and an extremely tough hide. Even on an amateur level, audition processes as well as critic reviews can be grueling.

Is it possible to get straight a's while being involved with extracurriculars?
Catch a fa
I plan on being very very involved my junior year. with clubs and sports. Soccer in the spring, Track in the fall, Crew in the spring, National Honor Society secretary, Math leagues, Science Club, International language club, And Volunteering whenever I can so can I be able to get straight A's while doing everything?
Answer
Always possible. I have some tips on doing well AND being in extracurriculars.
WORK:
1. Set a goal:
Think of it this way. If you're trying to buy a new bike and you're trying to save $$, it's obvious that your goal is to buy the bike eventually. Same thing with school. Think of it as buying your new favorite item. Your goal = Get straight A's with an occasional B.
2. Don't get distracted:
This occurs at 2 places, at home and at school. When you do homework at home, don't have your tv, computer, radio, or anything else on! You're going to be more focused on that. At school, if you think you're going to get distracted, don't sit by your friends or by those pranksters or goofballs who don't do their work.
3. Have your supplies:
In order to do well, you need to have everything that you need for school (books, pencils, pens, etc). Keep everything neat and in hand. When I get books from school, I store them all under my desk so I can easily reach them. Do the same thing. Don't throw all your material everywhere!
4. Organization:
This is key. Keep your bookbag and notes neat. If you don't know how, here are a bunch of videos to help you:

5. Study with others or ask for help:
If you see yourself struggling, ask your friends for help. Other people you might want to ask are your older siblings, parents, neighbors, librarians, teachers, etc!
6. Review at home:
Most kids often just finish their homework in 5 mins and then go off to play. Don't be like one of them. Don't understand something at school? Reread your notes. If you still don't understand, reach for the computer, books, friends, parents, etc.
7. Learn from mistakes:
You say you hardly get 80's, learn why! Do you not study enough? Do you daydream? Do you get distracted? Learn them and fix them!
8. Sleep, health, exercise:
In order to do well in school, you must be physically "there". What I mean by this is, if your body is at school, your mind must be there too. Since you're around 13, you need 8-9 hours of sleep. Eat a good breakfast (cereal, fruits, oatmeal, omelette, etc). Don't eat junk like chips and cookies. Exercise! Try to get in at least 30 mins. You can run, play sports, dance, etc!
9. No procrastination:
This is the 1 that I have trouble with. When you get home, be distracted for maybe half an hr. After that, get to work! Don't goof off and then have to end up doing homework when you're supposed to be sleeping.
10. Lists:
What I like to do is make lists of what I need to do in the day. My list would be like this:
Eat breakfast []
Go to school []
Go to soccer practice []
Do homework []
Buy glue for art project []
Eat dinner []
Watch Pretty Little Liars (LOVE THAT SHOW <3) []
Study for math test []
Sleep []
