Hi there,
I just want to reassure you and let you know it is completely fine to not know what you want to do! I still don't, and I'm now in my final year. For some of us, it isn't totally obvious, but as long as we are still working towards something it's okay!
Talking with the Careers and Employability team at your university would definitely be a great start. They can help you to map out the things you know you do enjoy (and cut out the things you know you hate!), which can be super useful for narrowing it down. They might also suggest things you haven't thought of or don't know much about, such as apprenticeships, alternate degrees, and self-employment.
As it has been said, be sure to research into the not-so-obvious paths your degree can take you down. You might decide it is ultimately worth sticking it out for this, plus the knowledge and skills you'd gain, and the experience of getting a degree. If you decide it really isn't for you, that is okay too!
Remember that we all follow different paths. It might feel daunting to be feeling this way and doing something different to your peers, but you have to choose what is right for you!
I hope this helps, and best of luck to you. 🙂
