What’s your major if you have one yet?

If your classes aren’t challenging enough then see if you can take more challenging courses next semester/quarter. If you want a challenge and have any interest in it you can always pursue a computer science or other engineering major which should provide plenty of challenge. College is what you make of it. You can’t be just a passenger. You also need to be realistic in your expectations - not every single course will be the most exciting, challenging, interesting, but might be a necessary pre-req.

Going to a CC for a couple of years then transferring is also an option but are you sure your classes would be any more challenging or that your classmates would be any more mature?

I don’t know what college you attend but the particular college can make some difference as well so maybe you want to consider transferring at some point to a different college. Regardless, it’s only been a couple of months so you should give it more of a chance.

‘Trade school’ isn’t necessarily going to be any better unless you study something you’re quite interested in and that has good job prospects but maybe you can do that where you are if you steer yourself in that directions (assuming you picture yourself in the driver’s seat and aren’t just a passenger).
