If your interest is painting. Art. I think you can stick to your dream. Because interest is the greatest teacher. But you have to understand that learning art is very expensive. If the family conditions are average, it is still not recommended to study art, and many people who study art have been painting since childhood. Their basic skills are very solid. So now you have to face a problem. Whether to continue to study hard, or to study fine arts and pass the art test to get into a better university. I don't think you should give up on both sides. Now that you are a freshman, there is still plenty of time for you to catch up slowly. Maybe you have found a method with high learning rate and a shortcut to study hard. I'm sure your grades will be tested. But if it really doesn't work, then you should consider it as soon as possible. Turn to art, maybe only by passing the art exam can you get into a good university. One more thing, I need to correct your misunderstanding, that is, don't think that going to college will dim your future. Nowadays, education is just a stepping stone, but it doesn't mean everything. Many successful people, his education is also very low. Even if you are a junior college student, you will still have many opportunities for further postgraduate study. Even higher education. So don't be knocked down by temporary difficulties. Don't think that going to college is the only way out. Now you should study hard. Engaged in the art industry, you must prepare in advance, communicate with your family, and. The road to learning art from art is really not easy. We should consider the employment direction after graduation in the future.
