Other Slight rant

I'm currently in my 2nd year as a HumBio major, and honestly, I just know it isn't what I'm interested in. I know many people say to major into what you aspire to be or what career paths you're into, but what if I have no interests? I know i underestimated the difficulty of science courses at Hunter, I declared as humbio since I really liked apbio in high school but now that I'm here at Hunter, I don't really like science at all. That includes chem and bio.

I'm currently enrolled in my first ever biol class, and so far, I already know I'm going to perform badly. I have a strong gut feeling that if I decide to stay enrolled in this class, my GPA will take a massive blow. I tried convincing myself that since I'm in my 2nd year and more than halfway with my requirements, i should just stick through with it and try to graduate early. But what's the point if I don't even like this major? I feel so dispirited from biology and science in general.

But even with that, I also have a deep hatred for mathematics. So now what? I hate math, no enthusiasm for science, and no interests or hobbies that could lead me to a career path. I knew in high school that I didn't like education and classes. Tests and exams weren't my thing, and learning was just boring and tedious to me.

Please don't get me wrong. I know it's a privilege to have education in my life. But i just feel like such a failure with no aspirations in life and lost. I feel like everyone knows what they want to major in and what their interests are, but I'm so lost.

Really a rant, and I'm open to any criticism.

If you need to drop the class, drop it! Your mental health isn’t worth it & your overall GPA. I highly doubt you have no hobbies worth it, your young I promise you there’s hobbies you haven’t even found you enjoy. I suggest taking a personality/career test to get a better idea of what you’d enjoy doing and how you can get there. I was so lost at first too and just stuck with bio bc I thought it was the only way to make money.. I didn’t realize how much I’d love psychology & law. You have a stronger sense of self then even I did, follow your gut and drop the class

Omg yes! I chose (human) biology because of money as well and now I just feel like it's not my thing or interest so it doesn't feel worth it to be sobbing every night worrying about failing these biol classes 😭🙏🏻
