if youre stuggling in the first semester, just gonna let you know unless you have motivation you're gonna get blown away your junior year. and what the fuck can you do with a history degree? attend protests and work at mcdonalds?

Most academic advisor's I've talked to talk about "following passions" but education not really my thing, which is what History typically implies. Would CS with a minor in history be a better alternative if I want to avoid getting BTFO by engineering? Maybe work on an MBA at a later time?

Dude, you just sound young.
You won't get anywhere if you don't know what you're working towards.
No one is going to tell you what you should do, because no one cares about what you should do, we're all trying to figure that out for ourselves in regards to our own lives.
It's the sad but honest truth, and the sooner you learn that, the less self-loathing you'll experience later on.
You have to figure it out yourself- if you don't, slowly but surely, you'll find your peers leaving you behind, because they've gone in their own directions and don't have time to deal with someone who refuses to take initiative with their own life.
Here's some advice because I'm feeling friendly-
Figure out what you want as a wage when you graduate that will accommodate the lifestyle you want, go into that program, keep your keep down and GPA up because anyone who can even THINK about having a chance in this economy has to take it seriously- everyone wants the same thing that you do and they're willing to do a LOT more than you in your current mindset.
You are not a special snowflake, and you are not entitled to a comfortable lifestyle. You have to earn it. You are adult.
Also, It's not about getting a degree doing what you love, it's about getting a degree to get the highest paying job so you can do what you love, because almost no one is going to pay you for doing what you love- it's probably even less common than becoming famous.
Bad at physics and calculus? Try harder. Screw your social life. Afraid you'll lose friends because you're studying too long?
Get a 24 hour gym membership and work out after you study. When you graduate, you'll be hot AF, you'll have high-paying job offers all over the place, and the guy who partied too hard next to you has a beer gut, student debt, and can't even think about taking his girlfriend on vacation for the next 10 years.
So, who do you want to be?
Remember that it's a game, and the other players do NOT care if you fall behind.
Peace. xx

Thank you for advice. I'll work harder, do a programming class for interest and consider a minor in history. And go back to the gym, that too. If I find something that has a liveable salary and I like it enough to justify the pay decrease, ill give that a try.
