I understand that in retrospect you may have wished you had been more deliberate and determined in your direction, but it isn't easy follow your own path without guidance. Nobody ever achieves as much as they could have. You achieved much more than people said you would. Man, I sound like a positive self-esteem building motivational poster.

Does he know what he wants to major in? Maybe that might help. He might want to do something more constructive but doesn't know how to get started.

He wants to go to a good college and have good grades. He just isn't motivated enough to keep working hard for more than a week or two. If he was busy "drawing cartoons" or doing something he enjoyed more than "nothing" I would still be upset about grades but totally different stance.
