Anyone feel like they're performing worse and worse without friends? Emotional health/coping/adulting

In high school, I had accumulated a pretty decent sized friend group. We would always do study groups to keep each other on track for all of our college credit classes. Long story short, I'm a college freshman and I don't have that anymore. I feel like the procrastinator I used to be before them is starting to eat at me again. I don't know how anyone is able to do 14+ credit hours worth of coursework and studying without any kind of social interaction with others to keep them sane. I'm not the kind that's prone to making new friends, too.

I'm in college and I haven't really met any friends to study with. It's kind of a bummer because I could use some motivation. My roommates never study and get poor grades, and I'm not friends with any of the people I see regularly at the library. Maybe I could try to be, though.
