Insecure about Future Plans

I'm having trouble falling asleep because I'm constantly bothered by thoughts about the future. I'm currently in my third year of college and I still haven't made any plans for what comes after graduation. I also feel insecure about my skills and believe that I haven't really learned anything during my studies. I often consider myself one of the worst students in my course, and it feels like opportunities will never come my way once I graduate. It's disappointing because I'm fully aware of all these issues, yet I struggle to make any self-improvements. I know what my weaknesses are, but my bad habits and lack of motivation continue to hold me back. I feel extremely disappointed and anxious about it all. Just wanted to share my thoughts with you all.

Do you lack motivation for the subject or is it what you're going to do with it after graduation? How about transferrable skills? I also agree with the other comment whereby considering something different if only for a while may help you decide how you feel. What were you aspiring for initially? Is it what you expected?

@Nihiless Actually, I lack motivation in both aspects. When it comes to subjects, I tend to avoid studying the areas where I'm lacking. For instance, I'm pursuing an IT course, but I know I struggle with programming. Despite the abundance of online resources available, I can't seem to motivate myself to study. The same goes for after graduation - I don't have any concrete plans, and the mere thought of job hunting exhausts me. I believe it's mainly due to my habit of laziness. As for transferable skills, I do think I possess some, although I lack confidence in them. Thank you for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts. It means a lot to me.
