Been through it, there is no secret to getting motivated, you just have to man up and get your stuff done. Set a goal for yourself for a given class or exam or whatever and beat that goal.
Many here are saying you have to buckle down, don't go out so much don't do as much during the week. For me, going the opposite way actually helped me. I have found that the more fun stuff I have scheduled (trips, drinking, etc) the harder I work to get my stuff done in a timely fashion. Instead of watching tv and screwing around until midnight and then staying up all night to study for an exam, I'm much more likely now to start studying sooner, get home from class and work hard for a few hours, then go chill with friends all night, maybe even hit the bar for a little bit. Its worked for me. I basically look at a week or a month and say to myself, "I want to do all this fun stuff this week, but I have x amount of work to do, how am I going to manage my time" At this point I'm going out almost every night, but I'm still getting my work done.
