From my experience, you're most likely not interested in your career path. Everyday is spent "going through the motions", and deep down inside you know its not what you want to be doing with your life. Every day seems to represent one step closer to finalizing a life that you really don't want. So gradually, you become unmotivated in an attempt to slow down this process. You realize that you're not working to your full potential, and then you become depressed. Depression then causes you to become less motivated.
I'm unsure if any of this applies to your situation, but that's how it was for me (Psych / Bio) in University.

because my friend what you are doing is called PROCRASTINATING!! and if you really wanna change your situation, then you will. right now probably you dont have the desired amount of motivation to do so...you might when you lose something to this laziness of yours...coz experience is the best teacher!! but every once in a while you squirm and try and shrug off this awful habit.but what it requires is either a damn good reason to move ( motivation) or exercising your WILL, bit by bit everyday. you can do that by instructing yourself to do little things and then go ahead n do it. eg instruct yourself that i will sleep a little early today. also i guess what you can do is first make a list of what all you WONT do coz it is at times easier not to do something than to do something new.eg tell yourself that I WONT party this weekend, I WONT bUNK my classes etc etc...then move on to doing specific things like , I will get up at 6am in the morning etc. last thing to remember, you might try n you might fail, but dont give up, make an effort each day,that is what matters! you dont lose till the time you dont give up!!

Depression is a defense mechanism to keep people you respect from hurting you. The solution generally requires you to rebuild your criteria for respect understanding you should be the person you respect the most and then using your new found self respect to decide on a personal direction and pursue it. The hard part is forgiving yourself for using depression as a defense and then forcing yourself to decide on constructive goals and pursue them. Medication can help to bypass depression and have emotional energy to make the goals an pursue them.

Sounds like depression that you can't fight on your own. You need to seek help. In the interim, force yourself to work out, get out of bed and the house, be around people, etc. You won't pull out of your funk until you start willfully pulling yourself out. Best of luck!
