I hate my career

[/u/VirtualEntrance5725]

Hi, I’m 20f studying architecture mainly because of how much I love designing, I thought it would be the best choice since it’s going to give me many openings in the future, even if I really only want to design objects (I’d imagine they’d consider an architect to be the best for the job). I fell in love with architecture my first year of uni, I went in not knowing anything and my teachers made me realise how cool it is to design homes and places where people will be, eat, even maybe fall in love. I think it’s beautiful. But I’m in my second year and I’ve started to hate how hard it is, it makes me wanna quit. Every time I fail an exam, or when I cram and still fail, it makes me feel horrible about myself like this suffering isn’t worth it, since in the end I wanna design cute stuff like toys! I wanna fall in love with architecture again, I can’t quit my degree now being a second year I wanna be able to finish this whole thing and be so proud of myself, I do love designing buildings. But all those history, math, technical construction… etc are making me hate it, I’m in love with art, I’m an artist of all kinds I wanna be able to use that, not prove to my teachers how much I can memorise for a 2 hour test where after a week I’ll forget everything. Any advice? I can’t leave the degree that’s not an option.
