Changing Majors? Can any NPB majors give input?

I will be attending UC Davis as a freshman this fall under the declared major Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior. However, I’m not sure if I want to stick with this major. My tour guide at Davis said this major is one of the more interesting biology majors, but also one of the harder ones. I think I may enjoy it more because it is interesting, but my fear is that it would be too hard that I wouldn’t be successful and get As in my classes. (I know medical school is hard, but I want to take this one step at a time) I really want to do well in college so that I can go to a good medical school so should I change my major to an easier biology major? Or I know some people choose their undergraduate major based on their interest (such as English, etc) and then go to medical school so should I do something like that? If I were to choose a major based on my interest, I would probably change my major to Design or Textiles and Clothing, but I don’t want to have a career in these fields so would it be a waste of a degree? Would it not be a good undergraduate major for someone who plans on going to medical school?
