<human>: I'm a college freshmen, and I guess because I "breezed" through high school, always doing well, but never doing any work, I became overly cocky with my skills. Now I'm in college, and I'm struggling with several classes, because I can't find that motivation or drive to study harder, or learn to study better.

I've been through [/r/getmotivated](/r/getmotivated) a couple times, and while it gets me motivated, it only lasts about 10-20minutes. Never more.

Aside from that, I lose motivation of going out and doing things. While I want to, I just can't get myself to go do anything aside from sit around. Occasionally I'll go on walks with my iPod and just listen to music and explore campus/the surrounding city, but besides that, I'm slowly becoming sluggish.

Some more background on me; I'm a former athlete (high school), but can't afford to play in college, and my school doesn't have an intramural lacrosse team (Sadly) so I can't continue that. I work out 3 times a week (some of the only times I do something, and its because one of my friends often makes me join him). I can read completely fine. I just recently read The Hunger Games Books 1&2 in two weeks, taking breaks inbetween.

Essentially, I'm afraid I'm slowly ruining my future because of my lack of motivation. I WANT to do well, but I can't find a way to convince myself it'll be effective. I've tried various ways of motivating myself, with slim to no luck.

Reddit, how do you think I can motivate myself better/how have you motivated yourselves? I know reddit is one of the worst places to look, but googling hasn't helped, and none of my friends are really the types-of-people to be helpful here.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: I have no drive/motivation to work harder in school, and it's slowly leading me to believe I've ruined my future. I need to find a way to motivate myself.
