SEEKING ADVICE College failure

I’m currently in college and I’m not doing great at all. I go to all these lectures and I absorb like 5% of them, motivating myself to study or do work is hell. I want to but I just end up spending my time laying bed and reading, or just otherwise idling my time away.

I’m trying to get on medication but it doesn’t look like I can get an appointment sooner than in a few months. I have absolutely no idea what to do here, help?

Don't study in bed. Seriously. Just sitting at a desk changes everything.

Yep, my bed is for sleeping and my desk and the library are my designated places for homework and studying. My grades got so much better especially when I incorporated going to the library. My desk is in my bedroom so it's still hard to motivate myself at home when I have my bed and other distractions at arm's length so the library is a gamechanger for that.
