Is it normal if i love something i am not good at?

My major is journalism and I am currently a senior. I guess I am suffering a case of senioritis because I am basically not passing any of my 6 classes in my senior year of college. Not only cause its a lot and its my last year and they are hard and school itself sucks and my classes can suck it and...yeah there's a lot to it lol. But despite me failing my senior year pretty much, I can't help but enjoy my the subject of my classes. I also have a minor in psych and definitely enjoy those classes more than my journalism classes which is my major so I find it funny but I still like the idea of journalism. I suck at writing stories apparently according to my professors but I still like writing and I don't think I'm that bad. I suck at taking tests and waking up early but I like the idea of getting my day over with early. So I don't know...is this normal? It does suck though cause I wish I was good at what I enjoy doing. I mean they say passion is everything so will I go far in life if I carry this passion for a while despite not being good at it? My classmates are so full of themselves that they exceed in class but I feel like I probably care more about it...they're just better at it.

    It's normal. I'm not the greatest artist in the world, but I am content with my skill level and find great joy in doing artwork. I find that the process of creating artwork is more important/satisfying than having a finished product, and it feels almost therapeutic to me.

      Do you post your artwork anywhere?

        Well, I plan on eventually getting a DeviantART account, but I need to actually finish some of my work first (98% of my body of work is rough, incomplete sketches)

          Okay, just curious. I like seeing other's work, especially when they really enjoy doing it. Sometimes I can see the emotions in people's work so maybe I'd feel a warm content feeling if I saw yours.

    I think it's normal because in high school, I wasn't very good at basketball but I loved it and I went to camps and everything, and I didn't like softball but I was good at it.

    It's normal, you're probably just to type to love challenges. I love things I'm not very good at, but I just see them as challenges and invite the difficulty.

    I love math but I don't think I'm extraordinarily skilled at it.
    Am not talking about high school math but things like differential equations.

      Math can get pretty interesting. I know what you mean, but it can be really tough.

    I have the same thing with sex.

    I love it, even though I'm not good at it.

    It is completely normal! I love field hockey so much, but I'm definitely not the number 1 player on my team! I still go out there and give my all.

    Yeah! And that's okay, too. For example, I love math and I'm not good at it! I mean, I get F's in every class!!
