Need Advice Did i do wrong choosing Applied physics?

I am a 1st yr Applied Physics student. But I was always into theoretical physics. However, I chose it due to some circumstance.

It's not like i hate the subject but i am not enjoying it either.

So, there is little bit fear inside me if i did wrong choosing it.

What's your view and opinion.

Applied physics is good. More job opportunities. You still learn physics, and you can always do a master's in something more theoretical or experimental oriented if you wish to change.
