Then get a job where you will have a boss who keeps you on track by monitoring your short-term progress. For many people college is the only time when they have neither a parent nor boss who pushes them to succeed.
Warning: such high-overhead jobs are often less well paid. And a lucrative and low stress path for you, programming, often has hard-to-measure short-term progress and are usually not closely monitored.
If you work somewhere they do pair programming that can help with a lot of the issues though.
This makes sense.
