  Realize that once a day has passed, you never get it back. It comes, it goes. Gone forever. Shake yourself. This isn't a game. Having to postpone graduation would be enough motivation for me. I understand getting in a rut, but there's too much at stake here. Break it into small steps. Start your work... 30 minutes a day for each of your three classes. No big deal. It's not much. Just do it. Reward yourself only if you complete that much... a movie, music, outing, whatever. The next day, increase your time. I don't think it's possible to get caught up before the next month unless you work day and night, but at least you'll make progress. Maybe you can get an extension to go into the summer with these classes. You just have to tell yourself you don't want to face the consequence. Or maybe you don't mind... you're the only one who knows. Best of luck.
