I had this problem when I was an undergraduate. I think that if you have the energy and intellectual capacity to follow these various interests without it adversely affecting your grades or future prospects (I didn't) then it's not problematic. Otherwise you need to develop stronger self-discipline in order to get done what's necessary to jump through the hoops the system requires you to jump through. I wasn't able to develop this until several years later in life but I think that if I had been able to do so while still in university my life may have turned out better (though one can never really know). As for how to develop this discipline, I don't really know because for me it just seemed to happen when the time was right. Meditation may help because it can help you gain some distance from your thoughts and feelings and make decisions about what to do from a calmer, higher level perspective, rather than following your immediate curiosity. In any case I don't think you should try to suppress your interests too strongly. At this stage of your life you should be exploring different interests so that you can develop a clearer idea of what you really want to focus on. The key is maintaining balance and making sure that you're spending enough time and energy on your current course of study.
