Communication Technology vs Electrical Engineering?
As a freshman in college, I have a GPA of 3.5 and got mostly B's in math. I have experience with technology (like basic coding) but not engineering in high school. Two majors at my school are Communication Technology (CT) and Electrical Engineering (EE). CT contains classes in digital media production, coding, business, and telephones/electricity. EE contains topics like physics, math, science, and making electronics. The reason why I'm interested in these two is I want a good paying job where I can make enough money to travel, yet where I can pursue my interests in creating stuff. I've always felt intimidated by engineering, because you do alott of math. Yet, I heard you can become a theatre engineer and acoustics or sound engineer! I like that there's so much careers you can do in CT but Idk many people with this career. Anyone have advice? Can I enter EE without any experience? Can CT be good?

How do I build back my motivation?
At the beginning of the semester of college, I had much better habits and motivation. Alas, that didn't last very long. Now, I don't have any motivation. I'm constantly grasping concepts slower than my peers (I feel I'm behind in everything compared to my peers), I haven't done many extracurriculars because I bury myself in schoolwork and I run out of energy too fast, and I feel like I'm always going to be this forgettable person for the rest of my life (I'll never have any value). This semester has probably been the worst for my almost non-existent mental health. I feel lost. How can I feel "unlost"?
