Wow, thanks everyone for the comments!

@Scipio:Having my own business certainly seems a lot more appealling to me. I'm not completely sure if this would be what'd make me happy because I haven't done it yet, I know that it is what motivates me though. I also know that what I'm doing now does not make me happy at all. And I somehow don't feel that getting a degree I may never need is not a good reason to feel bad for 4 years

@Garg: Well, I don't think there are any really easy subjects at university, and what I'm doing now interests me the most. I've sent you a PM as well

@Nemo: Yeah, maybe that's true. But somehow, If "learning what I can" doesn't make me happy, it makes it very hard for me to go on.

@Brutha:I do the scripting part of sites, but that's not really important :-).The idea of limiting the amount of courses doesn't seem too appealing either because I now already hade the thought that I'll have to study for four more years.

@geekchic9: I've looked into that (where I live we don't really have community schools, but there are some types of schools that only take 3 years instead of 4). I've looked into them , but the classes didn't seem too interesting either

@Lucas: I think maybe it's indeed time to stop and re-evaluate. The way I see it now is that I'll continue doing my best for the next 4 weeks, until the end of the semester. Then I'm going to really try to succeed for the 4 classes I'm having now. And after that, in the second semester. I'll just take a break from college. Spend some time starting up my business, and trying to figure out what I really want. After that I can either go back to college completely motivated because it's really what I want, or I can go on doing something else. I think it'll be easier for my family to understand this as well.

That's the way I see it now. But I'm still open to all kinds of suggestions off course! Thank you all so much for all the advice already!
