What are you waiting for? Go seek help anon, it will help you.
But you can first begin with baby steps, step outside, take a walk for half an hour everyday, set some good habits : Put an alarm and wake up everyday at the same time, make your bed every morning, shower, anything. And don't turn on your computer until the afternoon (that's if you woke up at 8 am).
You'll change to how you were, you just need to push yourself now and once you've set good habits, momentum will help you get on your feet.

What I would do OP, is to work everyday at the same time, at first 5 minutes, then the next day 10 etc. Until you've finishes the work. It might be hard to achieve it, and you might spend the 5 minutes staring at the ceiling but at least you'll do something.
I also suggest you to make a special place for studying, another one for smoking etc. Use your bed for sleeping only, your desk for studying only, and let's say a chair or I don't know what you have available for smoking. It might be ineffective tho
And OP, do you have any friends (non-stoners of course)? Or you're all alone?

In a very similar boat OP. 2nd year, left my work late, didn't use my easter break effectively, difficult exs etc.
I'm trying to keep a sound mind so I can comprehend rational decisions better. It's not going great but this is a tough thing to fix. Girls come and go, when it rains it pours. It sounds like the issues you have are in yourself so don't worry about the girls mate. As for the motivation I don't know how to help. I'm looking for answers too, hence why I'm here. All I can say from what I've read is that you're in your last year. Just hit the minimum man and reward yourself incrementally. I'm using sleepyti.me and the sleep cycle app to try nail my sleep patterns and capitalise on morning productivity. Try find some art you can identify with and bring out some emotion to make you do something. I've made a playlist (as gay as that sounds) and here's a choice cut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH3hrtp1T84
God speed OP, I wish you all the best.

The female friends that I have already have boyfriends or aren't interested. I went out of my way to meet girls this year, and still am having no luck, which has sort of disillusioned me to the whole process

My friends at uni aren't stoners (I purposefully didn't make friends with stoners to avoid smoking as much), but I don't have as much in common with them, which sometimes leads to me feeling a little alienated.
When I'm back from uni, my friends are almost all stoners. I know being around stoners obviously leads to me smoking more weed, but they're the best friends I've had by far, and the social aspect of my life is the only area I don't feel overwhelmed. This is another reason why I'm reluctant to seek professional help. I know they will tell me to change my friend group. It takes a long time to get to know people, and I can't imagine finding better friends than those I have already.
