I have this weird depression and I don't know why, I don't know the reason and its driving me crazy... I feel sad, bored and lazy and I feel that my life so far is boring and its like a freaking same routine and I am starting to get fed up with the fake people around me... I need to know how to deal with it because I am cheery kind of people and I hate this feeling any good advises would be appreciated thanks :)

Most depression is 'situational' - meaning it is a result of your situation, what's going on around you. We don't know where you are, how old you are, who you live with, what changes have happened in your life, and on and on. If you want to try to summarize your life so far, please do so. It's not easy to do, but just a paragraph or two might give clues about what's wrong in your life.
(Some depression is due to poor diet or true mental illness, but assume for now yours is due to your life.)

That's not much of a story about your life, like your family or if you were happy when you were younger. But many 20 year olds who are on the edge of adult decisions about jobs and careers and starting families of their own get depressed or anxious or both. I know I did. In fact it lasted for many years. Is your family OK with your decisions? Do you know what kind of work you want to do?
As for doing the same stuff with friends - that's your fault. Think of some more interesting things, ask if they want to go along, and if they don't, go by yourself until you find new friends.
If you are too depressed to study and go out with friends, go see a talk therapist. Or talk more here. You said practically nothing.
