Maybe it's because you are not taking classes or choosing subjects you enjoy. Try selecting classes or a major in which you are interested. Doing so, you will find your studies more enjoyable and your school projects and assignments more of a breeze.
Also sometimes it's not the subject matter but an instructor's style that galvanizes or dampens a students interest in a subject. Ask around to other students and take courses with instructors or professors who are recommended by your peers.

I`ll tell you tomorrow!
8 Steps to defeat procrastination:
1. Pick one area in which you find procrastination most annoying (homework, studying for tests)
2. Begin small and progress as you experience success. Be patient. Establish your own deadlines. Be realistic in setting a timetable.
3. Break the project into smaller parts. Chip away at it in small bites. Don’t wait for that “big chunk” of time.
4. Set a definite beginning time. Yuu must break the inertia of inactivity. If getting started is especially troublesome, set a time for 10 or 15 minutes. Commit yourself to doing something on the project until the timer rings. Then you can decide whether to stop or continue. Chances are you will gain momentum and continue after the timer stops. If not, try another 10 minutes later in the day.
5. Do the most important things first. Avoid the distractions of the trivial and routine tasks when a higher priority job is waiting in the wings. Examining each task in light of your goals will help you set priorities.
6. Reward yourself for completing parts of a major task. It may be something as a 10-minute walk, a Coke, or a call. Contract with yourself for a big reward for completion of important tasks. A pizza, sleeping extra late on a weekend, or shopping for something may help motivate you to complete the job. Be nice to yourself.
7. Avoid perfectionism. Excellence is a sufficient level of performance for most things in life, and for many tasks (a new hobby, cleaning your room) adequacy is all that is necessary. Give yourself permission to be less than perfect. A good garden may have some weeds. You might double the amount of time spent typing a paper, attempting to get the spelling perfect. Could that extra time be better spent in another activity which will better help your grades? Probably so.
8. Procrastination is a learned habit, and can supplanted with a more constructive habit, giving your greater control over your life. If procrastination has limited your achievements, do something about it now!
