I'm right there with you man. Granted, I'm applying this year, but I was a major slacker in high school. My high school chem professor even questioned whether I should even be in college prep classes or should be in a remedial science curriculum haha. I tell people in college about how poorly I did in high school and no one can believe it because I've become so studious now. It's been interesting to see the people that were ranked ahead of me in high school (and believe me, there were plenty of them) and how they've dropped out of college and ended up back at home.
When I run into people now and then from high school they are usually stunned that I am in college. They are even more stunned when they ask how I am doing and I tell them my GPA (not to brag, but they asked so I told them). I waited a couple years between high-school and college and it really made a world of difference as far as maturity.
