design is most definitely not easy, if that’s what you were thinking. if you do design as well as a pre-med courseload you will have final exams along with numerous time consuming projects, and may even have to do a 5th year. it will be hard unless you’re some kind of genius.
ask yourself what you have to gain from doing design. i’m not saying don’t do design, i’m saying weigh the pros and cons. it’s not easy, it’s time consuming, and it’s pretty different from most other majors. i myself am double majoring in economics/linguistics and even though i don’t see myself doing linguistics as a career, i took it up because econ is a small major and i have a lot of interest in linguistics as an academic subject. and it does open up possibilities that i wouldn’t have if i just had the one major.
but as the above poster said, you don’t need to decide right away. try stuff out!
