Is it normal that i feel like i've wasted my college career so far?

Is It Normal that I feel like I've wasted my college career (and most of my life) up to this point? I mostly chose my major, Computer Science because I thought my original desired major, Game Programming would be too specific and having more general knowledge would help me in the field. The problem is, I don't like coding. I've never tried it and even when I do, I stop after a few minutes because I never have any ideas of what problems I can think of to solve.

A bigger problem is, I don't know what I would change my major to since I have no interest in anything else, and i'm just continuing on because I feel like I have to to get some sort of degree and am only starting to realize now it might be the wrong major - but it might not be. Either way, I only have one semester before I transfer to a different school so it's too late to back out.

There's other stuff, too - While I somewhat enjoy photography, my real passion for it's died over time and I haven't bothered to try to get a job, internships, volunteer or even join any clubs over the 2.5 years i've been here other than the school newspaper. I just focused on my studies - the main reason i didn't get a job was because I thought I wouldn't be able to balance school and work. So, I don't know what i'll put on my transfer essays. "I didn't work or gain experience because I didn't feel up to the task?" "I can't code despite being a CS major since the only time i've ever touched XCode is for projects in classes?" I just don't feel like I have any hope for getting a job or getting into a good college by way of transfer.

    Don't waste your college years, they are vital to lifting yourself above the worthless proles that fester everywhere in our society.
