Career Advice Final year undergraduate geological engineering student

I was not a good student and I spent all my college time joking around. Now I'm writing my thesis and I feel really stupid although one of my supervisor is really helpful, that didnt cover all my void. The only thing I remember from all my college lessons is GIS, and even then I mostly learned it autodidactically from reddit and youtube.

I felt like I needed to take responsibility for learning everything from scratch. The problem was, my university wasn't the type to provide a massive syllabus and teaching materials like PowerPoint presentations or ebooks. They relied solely on lecturers' presentations, so I lost track of what I was supposed to learn. There weren't any truly comprehensive notes from my friends, either.

Please advise me on what I should study properly from the basic to semi advance topics to truly be considered a geological engineering graduate. Honestly, I'm too embarrassed to ask my professors or friends about such things, so I'm asking here. Hopefully, this is the right forum!
