As a college student, I would assume you're in your early 20s or so?
During adolescence and early young adulthood, the circadian rhythm has shifted forward, which means being active later at night and waking up later in the morning because the inner clock isn't set at the early times adults are. It doesn't really become adjusted until around the mid twenties( or so I've heard in psych class). So basically, don't beat yourself too hard on this because the majority of people around this age have their bodies wired with this problem.

I'm 23. If what your saying is accurate, I apparently don't know very much about these circadian cycles. The thought that my sleep cycles can shift related to my age seem a bit counterintuitive. I would think I could shift them forward or back just by sleeping at different times. But like I said, I should probably research this more. Do you have a resource for me on this subject?
