Cory's personality changes somewhat as he gets older. For the first few years he's a slacker and is just barely a better student than Shawn. One major difference between the two is that Cory seems to get worked up over random things whereas Shawn is more laid back. If Cory does not want to do something school-related he will make a big production about the fact that he does not want to do it and how unnecessary he finds it, whereas Shawn will just not do it, preferring to fall asleep or make paper airplanes. As time goes on, Cory's slacker tendencies diminish as his neuroses increase, and by the end of the series his pessimism and paranoia, mixed along with a fairly strong work ethic and sense of right and wrong, become who he is.
