It seems like you’re at a crossroads now, but trust me, you’re not. You are at the very beginning of your career. The best thing you can do is learn and absorb as much as you can.
My advice is to take a breadth of classes and see what you like the most. Learning is easier and more effective when you are excited about the subject. Prioritize finding your passion, and everything will follow. Stay calm and don’t stress; you’ll be fine.
Also, don’t neglect the fun parts of college. Make lots of friends, experience life together. You’ll never have a chance to meet as many interesting people as you do in college, and many of them will be your friends for life. My CS education was valuable, yes. But what I remember from college is not nights doing homework; it’s the time I spent with friends, and athletics. Not only that, but in the four years since college, every career opportunity I’ve had has been a result of connections made in school.
Get the work done, learn a lot, and get to know as many people as you can.
