Flunking college... (need some advice)

I’m in my Sophomore year and starting spring semester today. So far in my college career, I’ve made some pretty bad decisions leading me to almost lose all my financial aid, which I was able to save some by taking courses of the summer. I’ve received F’s in some important courses. Like Biology. I took it the first time, got a ‘D’, then took it the second time and got an ‘F’, and funny thing is, I’m a bio major. Of course I’m going to change majors soon though. Fall 2011, I failed my economics class and I have to retake it this semester. The thing that surprises me the most is that I don’t even care all that much about it. In high school, I would sometimes cry over B’s and now it’s just whatever. If I could start college again, I’d work much harder (or so I think). I don’t know why, but I’ve been super lazy since I started college and I feel ‘burned out’ constantly. I’m pretty sure I would’ve done well if I actually studied, but I can’t think of a time where I actually sat down and read a chapter for any class- I’m kinda surprised I haven’t flunked out yet, to be honest.

As much as I’d like to keep my major and start fresh, I just can’t take Bio again for the third time. I think I just might major in Business with a Psychology minor and get through two more grueling years of school.

Real talk though… where would a Business degree with a Psychology minor take me? I want to get out of college in 2014 and be able to get a decent job. I just need some advice, whether it be parents or students.

Thanks.
