Getting good grades and being a high achiever just seems so unrealistic

Get into study groups. Also attend tutoring groups. Check out the professors' office hours to go over materials. Meet with the t.a.'s too if the classes have any.
Good luck!

grow a pair and work hard or drop out (college isn't for everyone)

This. Not everyone does well, and they literally can't because there are rules about grading to the normal curve. SOMEONE has to be at the bottom.

You need to get something going for you, like a realistic goal, or something to motivate you.

We got these Russian immigrants at our uni that are so old school, they deny evolution and think the earth is 5000 years old or some shit like that. Their motivation was to set a good future for their children and get good paying boring ass job, but they seemed to 4.0 their physics classes and biology courses despite not agreeing with a lot of it.

Either you're not motivated enough or college isn't for you.

idk trades bore me aswell, i really don't know, I'm a buisness student that wants to maybe work in marketing, IT or finance with somewhat of an interest in engineering but it's too hard. My only real passion is music

Not everyone will excel in the college environment. The old belief that you will be happier/more successful/wealthy by attending university is dying. for a reason. Technical work, trades and skilled labor pay more than any non-STEM career, and many STEM careers, as well.

Join the military, or a skilled trade. Find what you are good at and what you enjoy doing. Hopefully they're related.

Not everyone is made for the academic life. That's not a matter of intelligence. College is designed to give people certain information and skills, and they may not be the information and skills best suited to you.

The world will always need plumbers, electricians, bus drivers, truck drivers, mailmen, cops, firemen, barbers, etc etc - all honorable and well-paying professions.
