Can/Should I declare myself as a Computer Science Major as a Junior?

Hello all, I’m a 19 year old second semester sophomore. I am currently a communications major, but see that it is not for me. A combination of things made me realize that I possibly won’t succeed with this major post graduation.

Literally everyone that knows me as a person tells me I should really consider computer science as a major. I am into computers, and think programming is cool, but that’s about it. I have NO knowledge on how to program. When I was a kid, I used to make basic websites, was into editing images and videos, and always knew what was wrong with someone’s device, and was the go-to person to fix it. After our household computer broke and we never replaced it, I went years without a computer in the household and lost a lot of my knowledge and love for computers in those years.

I don’t have many interest that relate to school, but need to decide on change for my major before this semester is over. I have never gotten bad grade in math, but I never enjoyed it. Same goes for science. I feel like because of this I won’t do well in Comp Sci. Any advice?
