I hate going to classes that bore me like my german class where I understand nothing and just get humiliated when asked a question in german and expected to respond and I have no damn clue.

Drop the german class and start over in it (or another language). Language classes are cumulative and once you fall behind it is going to be difficult to ever catch up. They take many hours of practice each week, ideally split over many days.

Your college should have a counseling center where you can get help on figuring out how to deal with your procrastination. That is really your biggest issue, not the classes. One tongue-in-cheek definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. A counselor can help you figure out ways of doing it differently that will work for you. Also might as well ask about testing for a Learning Disability.

UCLA is possible, and it would help to get into the TAP program if your CC offers it, but you should be aware that the average accepted GPA to the college of Letters&Science was 3.72 (https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof13.htm) so with a 3.5 it will be a reach.
