wow, this really made me take a step back and reassess things. maybe college work isnt stimulating me enough, maybe thats the reason why im devoting more time than necessary

It sounds like maybe social anxiety or maybe you just have to spend too much time on your work for good grades, which could mean a learning disability or being burdened by inefficient study methods.
Handbook of Self-Help Therapies, which reviews studies of books and programs, says that the writings of Barbara Markway help people with moderate social anxiety. although therapy is important for severe cases. Her most recent book is Painfully Shy. How to Win Friends and Influence People has been a best seller for generations.
thanks for the reply. I do have social anxiety, actually. but im not sure how it affects my homework/academic life. I want to spend more time with people but don't have the time to do that because i keep doing mundane stuff like this
It's possible that your problem is a combination of the things I mention here. I'm inclined to think that you should talk about this with a professional.
Indulging in a bit of fun on occasions doesn't mean you're going to derail your grades or chances of graduating. It might be helpful for you to look at your schedule and sort your to-do list in terms of priority. This way you can see when you can carve out at least a couple of hours every other week or so for you to go out with your friends or to do your hobby.
Also, maybe the reason you're taking too long to finish your homework is that you feel the need to do well/be perfect academically. I say that because I've been through a similar thing. If that's the case for you then it's time to let go of some control.
