I hate my degree, I don't know what to do

Really sorry for posting this in the relationships section, it's the only way I can appear anonymous.

Okay, so I currently study Biology. I liked Biology in high school and college, I've never really had a burning passion for any subject so I'd always choose the A-levels/degree that was seen as 'respected' and had good job prospects. Since I started in September, I knew since the first week this degree wasn't right for me, I posted on here & talked to family, they all said to just wait it out a few months, I've done just that but I still hate it. I go to lectures only because I have to, I have to stop myself from falling asleep because it's boring to me, I hate the practicals the most which is ironic seeing as I have to do two 3 hour practicals a week.

I've always been very academic/conscientious, I'm used to forcing myself to work even though I hate something so everyday when I come home, I study Biology for an hour, about 4 hours on weekends, and in terms of studying I'm ahead most of my peers (because I panic about failing). Now I'm starting to not bother studying because I have zero interest in this subject, I hate the practicals, I hate having to study everyday something which I don't like, I've TRIED to make myself like it by revising more, waiting a bit more etc but the feelings are still there. Dropping out is not an option for me, I don't know what to do.
