<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

Hello, thanks for taking time to read this.

So I'm a first year university student and I'm on the third term of the year now, and I have realized that I really dislike my course and generally have no idea of what's going on in it. I'm really finding a hard time even making myself do the work because I hate it and it's very hard. I realize at this point you may say I should just drop out, and find something else to do with my time, but this is where my friends are and I really like the actual uni itself. 

Next year I want to change courses and study something different, but the university will not let me do the course I want without completing this first year of the course I am currently on, but that seems like a pipeline idea because I don't think I can pass these first year exams.
<bot>: I don't know what I should do right now. I hate my course because I understand none of it so it seems pointless. I want your advice.
