No, going undeclared isn’t a bad thing. Tons of people go in undeclared. Don’t feel pressured to choose a major (and definitely don’t feel pressured to pick a double major!). Just look at different intro classes in the majors you think you might be interested in and take those.

It’s good if they also fulfull some sort of general education requirement - like if you need to take a science with lab course, take intro bio. If you’ll need a social science, take intro psychology. You really don’t need to choose now, especially if you have absolutely no idea and you don’t know how to make the decision - take some classes, figure out what you’re good at and what you really are interested in and go from there.
