Changing my A-Level options...what should I do? Help/advice needed plzz!!

So when applying for my A-Levels I put down Biology, Chemistry and Psychology. My expected grades were all quite highish (7's) and I was eager to achieve them. Come a few months later and i'm now finishing my GCSE exams with literally no motivation and just abut scraping in the knowledge I know, I was previously passionate about my A-Level choices as I knew for certain that they go well together but now I reckon i'm gonna change chemistry for something else as I don't think i've got the brains to hack it at A-Level (this is an honest opinion and not just me self doubting) however i'm worried what to change it to as I don't want to choose the wrong A-levels and want ones that go well together.
I was thinking of replacing Chem with English Lit (along with bio and psychology).
Does anyone recon these will go well together and know any careers I could go into/uni courses...?

i have done chemistry and really regret it, all sciences are very hard, do subjects you will enjoy and think you will do well in mainly as unis don't care what courses you get your grades in for the most part, the mainly care about what grade you got so pick stuff you think you will get good grades in but also enjoy
