Still don’t know what to do at uni

I’m still really struggling with what to do at uni, I do alevel law, english lit and art. I enjoy coding and I do enjoy law alevel but I don’t want to do it at uni so I thought cyber security would be good for me. I found five courses, that all fit with my subjects and predicted grades. Still, I feel like there is something wrong and worried I will regret my choice.
I have always had this issue with that I like computing and I feel like I could secure my career better but I also like art/fashion etc. just feel like nothing seems right and I feel unqualified for every subject.
When I go back to college in September I will be expected to start on my application, I feel a lot of anxiety right now and like I’m behind everyone. I do not want to do gap year or more time at college tbh either. I’ve considered journalism and graphic design. Just wish I was super determined for a subject but I enjoy so much I can’t seem to place what I’m super passionate about and what I will do well in.

Most CS or Cyber courses will want A level Maths and, even you find some that dont, unless you enjoy Maths you might struggle on the degree.

It’s because I do law, which I guess I’m good at and I like doing, but I do not want to do law. I also enjoy computers and I just find cyber security interesting especially since it’s so relevant, I understand how it sounds random though. That’s the issue I have since my alevel are different. I just don’t know what to do, i find a lot of things interesting and I enjoy learning about them/doing them I just don’t know what I’m good at.
