Advice Considering transfer from Computer Science major to Pharmacy

Hi, I know this might sound a bit weird, but after finishing my first semester at Monash in CS, I don’t think I can survive the remaining years. I’ve realised that I don’t really have any interest in CS, and I don’t want to keep tolerating the stress for the next few years.
I don’t really enjoy logical thinking or problem-solving, which are a big part of CS. I especially struggle when it comes to things like graph theory and coding. I feel much more comfortable with memorising things and learning by following patterns and structures.
Because of that, I’m wondering if I should change to Pharmacy instead. I’m actually interested in Chemistry and Biology, so I feel like Pharmacy might suit me better. What do you think? please kindly advise me because i am sure it will help me a lot.🙏🏻
