Are grades important in college?
One way or another, good grades are always important, both personally for you being assessed and for those around you. If the grades are good, then it raises your self-esteem, and it affects your life in a positive way which can give you more happiness than things that you do instead of studying.
In fact, in most cases, people don't look at your grades after you get the degree. But your knowledge can be useful to you as you have to use it in your job. The things you have to know to become a professional in your field, universities got it down to a word, so you have to trust them and learn everything they give you, even if you think it's not important.
In addition by learning how to get good grades, you learn the ability to play by the rules, adjusting them for yourself, getting out of difficult situations, and building relationships with teachers/authorities — these skills are very useful later throughout life and can help you become more successful in what you chose.
If you have a hard time starting to study or you scared to do it, take a small “leap of faith” and start studying. Also, if you think you need some motivation to study, you don't. Best motivational quote I have ever heard: “You don't need to want to do something to do it”.
PS: Good luck with your studies, many of us struggle with it too, but you have to find your way to deal with it.
